1. Have you figured out your usage scenario?
When buying LED display screens, many people often focus on price, size, or 解決 at the beginning.
But ignore the more basic and more critical point: where do you want to install the screen, and what do you use it for?
Think about it, is your LED display screen installed indoors or outdoors?
Is its usage time mainly concentrated in the daytime, or is it lit more frequently at night?
Does the audience watch from dozens of meters away, or will they stand in front of the screen and browse it at close range?
Is your main content advertising slogans, product graphic information, or do you need to play high-definition videos or animation effects smoothly?
Different usage environments have completely different requirements for parameters such as brightness, protection level, dot pitch, and resolution.
If you don’t figure out these basic needs first, the products you choose are likely to “look good, but not suitable for use”.
In a word: Not all LED screens are suitable for you, but choosing the right one can really help you save money, worry, and work.
2. What are the uses of high brightness vs. high resolution?
Many people often hesitate between “high 輝度” and “high resolution” when purchasing LED display screens. Both seem to represent “better”, but the actual effects are completely different.
High brightness is mainly to combat ambient light interference if your screen is to be installed outdoors, especially in direct sunlight.
For example, building exterior walls, shopping malls, bus stops, etc., without sufficient brightness, the picture is almost “invisible” during the day.
Therefore, outdoor LED screens usually require a brightness of more than 5000 nits, and some can even reach 7000~10000 nits to ensure clear visibility all day long.
In contrast, high resolution pays more attention to picture details and clarity. This is especially important in indoor applications, such as exhibition halls, conference rooms, live broadcast rooms, close-range retail terminals, and other scenes.
The human eye is close to the screen, and if the picture has too much pixel grain, it will seriously affect the viewing experience.
Therefore, high-resolution LED screens usually use smaller dot pitch (P1.5, P1.2, or even P0.9), which can present more delicate images and video content.
In addition, the technical cost and power consumption differences between the two need to be considered:
High-brightness screens usually have higher power and generate more heat, and have higher requirements for power supply and cooling systems.
High-resolution screens require more LED lamp beads and more complex driving circuits, and the cost of materials and control systems is higher.
Therefore, there is no “who is better”, only “which is more suitable for you”. If you are doing outdoor advertising, high brightness is preferred; if you are doing indoor high-definition display, high resolution is preferred.
3. When the budget is limited, how can we prioritize "scene adaptation"?
In reality, what people care most about when buying LED screens is often “money”. After all, the budget is limited.
If you want a high-brightness and high-resolution screen, the cost will definitely go up. In this case, don’t rush to “have it all”.
The most important thing is to first figure out where to put your screen and what to use it for, and then prioritize it according to actual needs.
1). 屋外用LED広告スクリーン
The outdoor environment is sunny, and the screen is not bright enough. Then the advertising content is basically “transparent” during the day.
Who can see it? Therefore, brightness must be put first to ensure that it can be seen clearly from a long distance and that the image details are secondary.
There is no need to pursue a resolution that is too high. It is enough to ensure that the text is clear and the pattern is highly recognizable. The money saved can also buy more durable materials.
2). 展示 hall LED display screen
The light in the exhibition hall is stable. The audience is generally close to the screen and sees more details. The picture must be delicate enough to have a grade.
At this time, resolution is the highlight. The brightness is moderate and not too dazzling. It is more cost-effective to spend more money on high-definition picture quality than blindly pursuing extreme brightness.
3). Mall window LED screen
The mall window is in an awkward position. It must fight against the natural light coming in from the outside, but the screen picture cannot be rough and ugly.
At this time, both ends must be taken into account, and no side can be neglected.
It is recommended to choose a brightness that can meet the basic visual level during the day.
And then match it with a medium resolution to ensure that the content is not blurred, and the cost will not explode.
Don’t think about a “one-time solution”. It is smart to choose a “just right” one that is suitable for the location.
In the final analysis, LED screens are not so magical. The more suitable they are for your scene, the more useful they are.
With a limited budget, don’t force the parameters. Only by choosing the right one can the value of the screen be truly realized.
4. An easy pitfall: "Buy based on the parameters" is not as good as "buy based on the effect."
When many people buy LED display screens, their first reaction is to stare at the parameter table, thinking that the higher the brightness and the larger the resolution, the better the screen must be.
But when you really use it, you will find that the theoretical parameters and the actual effect are often far apart.
For example, some outdoor LED screens advertise a brightness of tens of thousands of nits, which is very tempting to look at the parameters.
But if the screen is installed in a position that is directly exposed to sunlight, or the content design is too fancy, the picture will be dazzling and uncomfortable.
Not to mention, if the viewing angle is unreasonable, no matter how high the brightness of the screen is, it cannot guarantee a good effect.
On the contrary, if the audience stands far away, the indoor high-resolution screen is actually useless, no matter how high the resolution is. The details cannot be seen clearly at all, and the money is wasted.
As for the content type, this point is often overlooked. For example, if you only want to use the LED screen for simple advertising slogans, it is unnecessary to pursue extremely high resolution, which will increase the cost.
On the contrary, if you play high-definition videos and animations, low resolution will obviously blur, affecting the viewing experience.
Content, 視聴距離, and parameters are three elements, and none of them can be missing.
Therefore, when buying an LED screen, don’t just look at the parameter table, but more importantly, look at the actual effect and usage scenario.
It is recommended that you visit the site more often or find references to cases with similar needs.
Many merchants will have model rooms or trial broadcast videos, and you can experience several more models to see how the picture performs in different environments.
In short, don’t let those cold numbers confuse your eyes. The real viewing experience is the key to buying a screen.
With a limited budget, it is far more cost-effective to choose the screen that best suits your scene than to blindly pursue high parameters.
5. If you have to choose one of the two, it is recommended to choose high brightness in the following 3 scenarios
When buying an LED screen, with limited budget or technical conditions, you often encounter the embarrassment of having to choose only one of “high brightness” and “high resolution”.
Don’t worry, in the following typical scenarios, it is the wisest choice to prioritize high brightness.
1). Outdoor all-weather playback
Whether it is a scorching summer day or a cloudy rainy day, outdoor screens have to work all day.
At this time, insufficient brightness means that you can’t see it, and the advertising content is basically “transparent” during the day.
Like the large advertising screens on the street and the activity screens on the square.
High brightness is indispensable to ensure that no matter how strong the light is, it is clearly visible and catches the attention of passers-by.
2). Strong light direct from glass windows
Many people ignore the particularity of glass windows. Sunlight passes through the glass and directly hits the screen, and reflection and light transmission will seriously affect the performance of the picture.
If there is not enough brightness, the screen content will look dim, and the appeal will be greatly reduced.
Increasing the brightness can not only resist the interference of natural light, but also make the picture color more vivid and the effect more attractive.
3). Traffic signs and advertising road signs
Traffic screens and road signs bear the heavy responsibility of safety and information transmission. Whether it is day or night, sunny or rainy, the information must be clear at a glance.
High brightness ensures that drivers and pedestrians can quickly capture key information under various complex lighting conditions, avoid misjudgment, and ensure safety.
The same is true for billboards. Only when the content is clear can the exposure effect be maximized.
In these scenes, brightness is almost the “lifeline”. Although resolution is important, it is not as important as brightness.
Don’t think about blindly pursuing ultra-high definition. First, ensure that the content can be seen, which is the most basic “win”.
In short, if you put the screen outdoors, in a window, or at a traffic intersection, first increase the brightness, and then consider the resolution. This way, the money will be spent wisely and will save a lot of trouble.
6. For the following 3 types of scenes, it is recommended to give priority to high resolution
Unlike the high-brightness scenes just mentioned, these environments have higher requirements for picture details and clarity.
The brightness can be moderately relaxed. Prioritize resolution to make the content look more refined and textured.
1). Exhibition booths and activities with exquisite pictures
Exhibitions and event sites are important battlefields for brand image display. The audience is usually close to the screen, and the fineness and visual impact of the picture are very high.
High-resolution LED screens can present rich details and color levels, making animations, videos, and static images more attractive and improving the overall sense of grade.
2). Live broadcast rooms, conference rooms, studios
These indoor spaces are mostly used for professional shooting or real-time interaction, and the screen quality directly affects the visual effect. High resolution ensures clear and delicate images, whether it is the host background.
The display content can be free of graininess and color distortion, meeting the visual needs of high-definition cameras and viewers.
3). Retail terminals with small spaces and short viewing distances (such as maternal and child stores, luxury stores)
In a limited space, customers are very close to the screen, and every detail of the picture is easy to notice.
Especially for places such as maternal and child stores and luxury stores that have high requirements for brand image, insufficient resolution will appear rough, affecting customer experience and brand perception.
High-resolution screens can not only display high-definition product details, but also enhance the modernity and quality of the overall environment.
In summary, these scenes pay more attention to “seeing clearly and seeing carefully”, and are suitable for focusing the budget and technology on resolution, and the brightness can be adjusted according to the specific environment to avoid waste.
7. The compromise strategy is worth referring to
When you want both high brightness and high resolution, but the budget and technical conditions are limited, a compromise strategy can often help you get twice the result with half the effort.
Here are a few practical tips to help you maximize the screen effect with limited investment.
The larger the screen, the higher the requirements for brightness and resolution, and the cost will also rise.
If the budget is limited, you may consider reducing the screen area and focusing on displaying the core information and content.
This not only saves money but also allows the audience to focus more and avoid information overload.
Choosing a screen with a small dot pitch but moderate brightness is currently the most popular compromise solution.
Small pitch ensures that the details of the picture are clear enough, especially suitable for close viewing.
Medium brightness can meet most indoor environments and some outdoor scenes, avoiding energy consumption and heat problems caused by excessive brightness.
The sunshade is like putting “sunglasses” on the screen, which can effectively reduce the interference of strong ambient light.
Especially in the case of direct sunlight or strong indoor lighting, to improve the contrast of the picture and make the content more vivid and eye-catching.
Reflective film can improve the utilization rate of light, better reflect the light emitted by the screen to the audience’s eyes, and enhance the visual brightness and picture texture.
Through these auxiliary tools, the picture can be made brighter and more layered without significantly increasing the screen brightness parameters.
In general, the compromise strategy can not only help you allocate the budget reasonably, but also avoid the high cost and technical difficulties caused by blindly pursuing extreme parameters.
If you choose the right solution, the screen effect can also impress the human eye, and the user experience is more comfortable.
