1. A brief introduction to the size of the LED display
1). LED display size
The size of the LED display, in simple terms, is how big its “head”. It is usually expressed in width, height, and diagonal length.
1.1). Width and height:
It is the “length” and “width” of the display, just like the length and width of a piece of paper. For example, if a display is 3 meters wide and 2 meters high, its display area is 6 square meters.
The larger the area, the more content can be displayed, which is suitable for large venues, such as advertising screens in squares.
1.2). Diagonal length:
It is the distance from one corner of the display to the other corner of the opposite corner.
This length can quickly compare the size of the display. For example, a 3-meter-wide and 2-meter-high display has a diagonal length of about 3.61 meters.
However, it is not enough to just look at the diagonal length, because the display area of the same diagonal length may be different for different aspect ratios.
2). Parameters related to size
2.1). Tamaño de píxel
The pixel pitch is the distance between two small dots (pixels) on the display, measured in millimeters. The smaller this distance, the more delicate the screen looks.
For example, indoor displays have a small pixel pitch (such as P1.2 – P3), and the picture is very clear when viewed from a close distance.
For outdoor displays, because they are viewed from a long distance, the pixel pitch can be larger (such as P5 – P10), which is also low in cost.
If the pixel pitch is too large, you will see small squares when you look closely, and the picture will be uncomfortable.
2.2). Resolución
The resolution is the number of pixels that can be displayed on display, expressed as “horizontal pixels × vertical pixels”.
For example, 1920×1080 means there are 1920 pixels in the horizontal direction and 1080 pixels in the vertical direction. The higher the resolution, the clearer the picture and the richer the details.
Resolution is related to the pixel pitch and the size of the display screen. At the same size, the smaller the pixel pitch, the higher the resolution.
For example, for a display screen 3 meters wide and 2 meters high, if the pixel pitch is P5, the resolution is about 600×400; if the pixel pitch is P2.5, the resolution can reach 1200×800.
High-resolution display screens are suitable for displaying high-definition pictures and videos, and the pictures are more delicate.
2. Factors affecting the selection of LED display screen size
1). Application scenarios and space limitations
1.1). Use different sizes of screens in different places
- Outdoor advertising screen:
Imagine that you see a huge advertising screen from a distance on the road. Is it very eye-catching?
This kind of screen is usually very large, such as more than ten meters wide, so that people far away can see it. It’s like hanging a big sign on a high-rise building. The bigger, the more conspicuous!
- Indoor conference room screen:
The conference room is small, and people are close to the screen, so the screen does not need to be too large.
For example, in an ordinary conference room, a screen of 2-3 meters wide and 1-2 meters high is enough. A screen that is too large will appear abrupt.
- Stage screen:
The size of the stage screen depends on how big the stage is and how far away the audience is.
If it is a large concert, the stage screen may have to cover the entire stage background, with a width of about 10 meters and a height of several meters, so that the entire audience can see the performance on the stage clearly.
1.2). Insufficient space. The screen cannot be too large
Before installing the screen, you must first measure how big the space is. For example, if the wall of your store is only 2 meters wide, the width of the screen must not exceed 2 meters.
Otherwise, it will not fit. If space allows, the screen can be slightly larger, but if there is not enough space, you can only choose a smaller screen, or put several small screens together.
2). Distancia de visualización and visual effect
2.1). Distance affects the size and clarity of the screen
Viewing distance is very important! The farther people are from the screen, the larger the screen can be, and the pixel spacing can also be larger.
For example, in outdoor advertising screens, the audience is far away, the pixel pitch can be larger (such as P10-P20), and the screen can be large.
But if it is in an indoor conference room, the audience is very close, the screen should be smaller, and the pixel pitch should be smaller (such as P1.2-P3), otherwise, it will look very “grainy”.
2.2). Suitable screen size for different distances
Short distance (3-5 meters): For example, in a conference room, the screen width is 2-3 meters, the height is 1-1.5 meters, and the pixel pitch is P1.5-P2, so that the audience can see the text and details on the screen clearly.
Medium distance (5-10 meters): For example, in a small stage, the screen width is 3-5 meters, the height is 2-3 meters, and the pixel pitch is P2-P3 so that the audience can also see clearly.
Long distance (more than 10 meters): For example, an outdoor advertising screen, the screen width is more than 5 meters, the height is more than 3 meters, and the pixel pitch is P3-P10, which looks quite clear from a distance.
3). Budget constraints
3.1). The bigger the screen, the higher the price
The price and size of LED display screens are “brothers”. The bigger the screen, the higher the price. Just like when you buy something, the more pieces you buy, the more expensive it will be.
3.2). How to choose a cost-effective one with a limited budget
If the budget is not much, but the screen needs to be placed far away for viewing, you can choose a screen with a larger pixel pitch, such as P5, so that the price will be lower.
For example, if the budget is only tens of thousands of yuan, but you want to make an outdoor advertising screen, choose a P5 pixel pitch, 5 meters wide and 3 meters high, which can meet the needs and will not exceed the budget.
4). Content display requirements
4.1). Complex content, large screen
If you want to display high-definition videos, complex images, or a lot of text, the screen must be large and have a high resolution.
For example, for advertising, to display high-definition product videos, the screen must be large, and the resolution must be high so that the audience can see the details clearly.
But if you just want to display a few words, such as “promotional activities”, it doesn’t matter if the screen is smaller and the resolution is lower.
The same is true for displaying important information. For example, in a traffic control center, the screen should be large and have a high resolution so that everyone can see the road conditions clearly.
But if you just want to display “Today’s Sale” at the entrance of a shopping mall, a small screen is enough.
3. How customized is the size of the LED display?
The customization of the LED display is actually quite high, because it is a very flexible product.
As long as you can think of it, you can basically make it, of course, the premise is that it is technically feasible and the budget is sufficient.
1). Advantages of customized size
1.1). Can meet special needs
For example, some places need special-shaped screens, such as round, triangular, or irregular-shaped screens. In this case, customized size is very useful.
For example, if there is a round column in the mall, and you want to install a screen on it to display advertisements, then you can customize a round LED screen that fits the shape of the column perfectly.
There are also some art installations or creative displays that require the screen to be integrated with the overall design. Customized size screens can meet this demand very well.
For example, design a screen on the exterior wall of a building that is consistent with the architectural style, making the screen part of the building.
1.2). More reasonable use of space
Customized screens can be designed according to the actual space without wasting space or looking abrupt.
For example, in a long and narrow space, you can customize a long strip screen to make full use of the space instead of forcing a standard-sized screen in, which looks very inconsistent.
2). Challenges of customized size
2.1). High cost
The cost of customized screens is much higher than that of standard-sized screens. Because customization involves separate design, production, and may even require special molds.
For example, when designing a special-shaped screen, the designer has to spend more time designing the shape and also consider the structure and installation method of the screen, all of which require additional costs.
The production process is also complicated. Standard-sized screens are mass-produced and relatively cheap.
However, customized screens are produced individually, and the costs of raw material procurement, processing, and other links will increase.
2.2). Long cycle
Customized screens require more time in each link from design to production to installation. For example, in the design stage, it may take repeated modifications to meet customer requirements.
In the production stage, because it is produced individually, it may take a long time to complete; in the installation stage, it may also take more time because of the complex shape of the screen.
If the project schedule is tight, custom screens may be a drag.
2.3). High technical difficulty
Custom screens require professional technical support. For example, the production of special-shaped screens requires special cutting equipment and processes; otherwise, the shape of the screen cannot be made.
And the installation is also very particular. For example, when installing a screen on a curved building exterior wall, you need to consider the fixing method and angle of the screen, otherwise the screen may be installed unstably or the display effect may not be good.
In addition, the after-sales service of customized screens is also very important. Because the screen has a special shape, if there is a failure, the repair may be more complicated than the standard screen, and professional technicians are required to handle it.
In general, the degree of customization of LED display screens is very high, which can meet many special needs, but there are also many challenges. If the budget is sufficient and there is plenty of time.
And if there are special requirements for the shape and function of the screen, customized screens are a good choice. But if the budget is limited or the project is urgent, you may have to consider standard-sized screens.
4. How to choose the size of LED display screens scientifically and reasonably
1). Clarify needs and goals
Before choosing the size of LED display screens, you must first figure out what you want to do. This is like making a list before buying something; otherwise, it is easy to buy the wrong thing.
1.1). Application scenario:
Think about where the screen will be placed first. Is it hanging outdoors as a billboard, or is it placed in a conference room for meetings? Different places have different requirements for screen size.
For example, outdoor advertising screens must be larger so that people far away can see them; the screen in the conference room does not need to be so large because people are close.
1.2). Budget:
Money is also important. If the budget is limited, don’t think about buying a super large screen, otherwise it may exceed the budget. You can choose a cost-effective size based on your financial strength.
1.3). Viewing distance:
Think about how far the audience is from the screen. If the audience is far away, the screen can be larger, and the pixel pitch can be larger.
If the audience is very close, the screen should be smaller, and the pixel pitch should be smaller, otherwise, it will look very “grainy”.
1.4). Content display:
The content to be displayed is also critical. If it is a high-definition video or complex images, the screen size and resolution should be higher; if it is a simple text message, a smaller screen is fine.
2). Consult professional advice
It is not enough to figure it out by yourself. You have to ask professional LED display suppliers or technicians. They have been in this business for a long time and have a lot of experience. They can give you a lot of useful suggestions.
2.1). Supplier experience:
Professional suppliers have seen a variety of projects. They can recommend the right screen size according to your needs.
For example, they may tell you that a certain size of screen is most suitable based on your application scenario and budget.
2.2). Professional knowledge of technicians:
Technicians can help you solve technical problems. For example, if you want a special-shaped screen, they can tell you whether it can be achieved technically, as well as the cost and difficulty of achieving it.
3). Comprehensive evaluation and trade-off
Finally, you need to consider various factors comprehensively so that you can choose the most suitable screen.
3.1). Cost:
Although the larger the screen and the more functions, the better, you also need to consider the cost. If your budget is limited, don’t blindly pursue large size and high resolution.
For example, for a small conference room, a screen of 2-3 meters wide and 1-2 meters high is enough. There is no need to spend a lot of money to buy an extra-large screen.
3.2). Technical feasibility:
Some screen sizes or shapes may be difficult to achieve technically, or the cost of implementation is very high.
For example, you want to make a particularly complex special-shaped screen, but it may not be technically possible, or the price is too high.
At this time, you must consider technical feasibility and choose a solution that can both meet the needs and be technically feasible.
3.3). Installation conditions:
You must also consider whether the installation place can be installed. For example, if the space at the entrance of your store is very small, don’t think about installing an extra-large screen; otherwise, it will not fit.
Or, if the installation place has limited load-bearing capacity, you can’t install a screen that is too large. Otherwise, there will be safety hazards.
In short, choosing the size of an LED display is like choosing clothes. It depends on the occasion, budget, and your own body shape. You also have to listen to other people’s opinions and finally choose the one that suits you best.
