Overview
A secondary school in Oxford recently upgraded to a 55″ Durascreen KX Full Sun Outdoor Display to modernise their outdoor messaging. The new screen replaces an older solution that staff felt had become bulky, outdated, and less usable.
The upgraded display sits outside on a brick wall fully exposed to the elements, with no enclosure or shelter required.
Before & After: Why the School Needed an Upgrade
What they wanted to improve:
- A slimmer, modern design: Their previous screen had a thick black bezel that reduced the actually visible display area.
- A larger viewing surface: Despite having a similar overall footprint, the older model offered less usable screen space because of its bulky frame.
- Better durability: The school wanted an impact-resistant screen for peace of mind in a high-traffic area.
- Higher brightness: Their existing display struggled with visibility in bright daylight.
- A more robust outdoor solution: The old screen needed extra protection and wasn’t optimised for year-round exposure.
Why Schools Chose the Durascreen KX?
The school chose the Durascreen KX for its slim, modern design that delivers a larger, more impactful display area without increasing wall space. Built for the outdoors, it offers IP66 weatherproofing and IK10 impact resistance, making it tough enough for rain, dust, and busy school environments. Its 2,500-nit brightness ensures content stays clear even in full sun, while the secure wall mounting and built-in Android OS make installation and updates fast, simple, and completely hassle-free.
