Only Hanshow

    —

    SoluM

    Strengths

    • The industry's widest product family (1" – 32")
    • IP68 protection and a 7-colour LED as standard across the entire Newton PRO family
    • Freezer, industrial and full-colour variants on the same platform
    • IoT expansion with sensor labels and BLE trackers
    • Detailed, publicly accessible datasheets — among the easiest manufacturers to verify

    Watch-outs

    • Model naming (Pro / Core+ / X / Extreme / Industrial) is complex — choosing the right variant takes care
    • The Core+ and X lines do not share the Pro family's IP68 and LED features; do not mistake the cheaper variant for a Pro
    • Full-colour models sit in a premium price band and have long refresh times

    Hanshow

    Strengths

    • 7.8 mm ultra-slim unibody (Nebular Pro)
    • IP68-rated 7-colour LED signalling
    • Mobile content and fast commissioning over NFC
    • A strong price/performance balance within Tier-1

    Watch-outs

    • The field service network is still maturing in some European markets
    • Software localisation and integration depth vary by project
