Sunlight readable NCR replacement/refurburbishment monitor

I’m going to discuss 2 different types of NCR replacement/refurbishment monitors.

Please note that the terms I will be using are mostly used in Korea.

First one is known as normal brightness NCR replacement monitor.
Its brightness, otherwise known as “nit”, typically ranges from 250nit to 400nit.

Second one is known as high brightness(sunlight readable or viewable elsewhere) NCR replacement monitor.
Why are they called sunlight readable is because some ATMs are installed outside and people must be able to read the screen without any difficulties to make money transactions.
Its brightness is at least over 1000nit and some are even over 1500nit.
It is known that unless you have a specific equipment that can measure the exact nit of a monitor, naked human eye cannot tell a difference between 1000nit monitor and higher ones.

To my knowledge, every buyer that I know of from all over the world has never asked the exact brightness of the monitor. And I also knew that most other NCR replacement monitor suppliers including GDS used 1200nit monitor.
Sunlight readable monitors I sold were at least 1500nit and some were even 1800nit.

But I highly doubt if my buyers even cared for the sole purpose of sunlight readable monitors is for people to read the monitor under the sunlight without difficulties.
And I figured 1200nit monitor is just as good as 1500nit or 1800nit monitor if other suppliers have been selling it.

In my next post, I will discuss the specific sizes NCR replacement monitors come into, which inch(size) model is popular and which isn’t.

Hope you find this post interesting.
