💡 How to Choose the Right LED Screen Model Based on Pixel Pitch? Most People Overlook This!

Buying an LED display isn’t just about brightness, price, or size — pixel pitch plays a key role in getting the right screen for your needs. Let’s break it down in the simplest way to help you make an informed decision.

✅ What Is LED Pixel Pitch?

Pixels determine how clear your display looks. Here’s how it works:

• Common resolutions: 8K, 4K, 2K, 1080P, 720P, etc.
  Example: 2K = 1920 × 1080 ≈ 2.1 million pixels

• In LED screens, we use “P value” (e.g. P2, P3) to describe pixel pitch — the distance between two pixels in millimeters.

• Pixel Density Example:

  • 1m² = 1000mm × 1000mm

  • P2 = (1000 ÷ 2) × (1000 ÷ 2) = 250,000 pixels per m²

🔍 How to Choose the Right Model? Focus on These 3 Key Factors:

1️⃣ Application Scenario

• For video ads, retail displays:
  Choose 720P resolution or higher (e.g. P3, P2.5)

• For conference rooms or high-detail visuals:
  Go for 1080P or higher (e.g. P2, P1.8)

2️⃣ Viewing Distance

Viewing DistanceRecommended P Value1 – 2 metersP1.5 – P22 – 3 metersP2 – P2.53+ metersP3 – P4

✅ Smaller P value = finer image quality (great for close viewing)
⚠️ But smaller P values = higher cost

3️⃣ Screen Size vs. Resolution

• For P2 screens:

  • 10㎡ ≈ 2K resolution

  • 23㎡ ≈ 3K resolution

  • 35㎡ ≈ 4K resolution
    👉 The larger the screen, the higher the resolution and cost

⚠️ LED Screen Buying Tips — Avoid These Common Pitfalls!

🚫 Mistake 1: Using indoor screens for window displays?
Indoor LED displays don’t have enough brightness — sunlight will wash them out!
✅ Use high-brightness outdoor screens (5000 nits or more) for storefronts or outdoor ads

🚫 Mistake 2: Ignoring P value?
Choosing the wrong pixel pitch wastes your budget!
✅ For long-distance viewing, choose P3 or P4 — better value. For up-close viewing, go for P2 or lower.

🚫 Mistake 3: Low refresh rate = flickering in photos/videos
✅ Use high refresh rate (3840Hz+) screens for smooth visuals and flicker-free photos/videos.
