LED displays P1 to P10: A practical guide to avoid pits from parameters to scenes

2025-08-29 153

Alas, have you encountered this situation? I wanted to buy an LED screen to install it in the store, but the salesperson said it was P2.5, P4, P10... and it was chaotic. ​ ​What does the number followed by P mean? If you choose the big one, you are afraid of the rough scene, and if you choose the small one, you are afraid of the wallet being hurt.​ ​. Today we will break it apart and make it clear - how to choose the pixel spacing of the LED display so as not to get stuck!

LED displays P1 to P10: A practical guide to avoid pits from parameters to scenes

1. What does the numbers after P represent?

Simply put,​ ​P1 means pixel spacing 1 mm​ ​, P2 is 2mm, and so on. For example, just like the pixel density of a mobile phone screen, the smaller the P value, the denser the light beads are arranged, the more delicate the picture is. For example, if you stare at the screen of P1.2, you can even count the hair of the character clearly. ; If it were replaced with a P10 screen, you could see that the picture was not blurred if it was ten meters away.

But don't rush to pursue the minimum P value! The fence screen installed by our company for Tokyo Stadium is P8. Why? Because the audience is far away! ​ ​The P value must match the viewing distance​​:

  • Front desk service screen (see 1-3 meters): choose at least P3 or less
  • Store advertising screen (see 5-10 meters): P4-P6 is enough
  • Stadium fence screen (see 20 meters away): P8-P10 is the most cost-effective

2. Three golden rules for choosing P value

1. The wallet thickness determines the lower limit

Don't be fooled by sales! The price of P1.5 screen starts three times that of P3. We chose P2.5 for the transparent window screen we installed in Seoul mall. Why? Because when customers get close to look at the product, P2.5 can not only ensure clarity, but also save 40% of the budget compared to P1.8.

2. Use scenarios to determine the universe

  • ​Stage floor tiles screen​ ​: It’s okay if the actor step on it? The key depends on the protection level! Our special floor tiles screen for dance floors is IP67 waterproof, P4 spacing is equipped with magnesium alloy box, so we don’t have to worry about splashing water at the performance venue
  • ​Outdoor advertising screen​ ​: The brightness is the king! In a big sun like Southeast Asia, the brightness is not clear without 5000cd/m². Our P6 screens exported to Indonesia are directly 7500cd/m², and you can see the advertising vocabulary clearly at noon
  • ​Shopping mall poster screen​ ​: It takes a long life to save electricity! Learn about low brightness and high gray technology? We installed the P3 screen in Tokyo drugstore, which is open for 18 hours a day, and the electricity bill is half the price compared to the traditional screen.

3. Don't ignore maintenance costs

Last year, a customer bought a P1.8 rental screen cheaply, but he broke two boxes during the tour - he had to change the entire module when repairing it, and the maintenance fee was enough to buy half a new screen! ​ ​The key point is here​​:

  • Indoor fixed screen optional COB package (anti-collision)
  • The performance rental screen must be quickly disassembled (our aluminum, magnesium, zinc box is disassembled and installed in 10 seconds)
  • Pre-maintenance design for outdoor screens (the lamp beads can be replaced without removing the entire screen)

3. The 3 most common pitfalls for beginners

​"The boss gives me the clearest! "​ ​——As a result, I spent a lot of money to buy P1.2 and installed it in the 6-meter-high shopping mall atrium. The customers looked up and saw it.…

​"It's going to be the same as the Apple store"​ ​——Little do people know that people use transparent screens (the type of 86% transmissibility). It is better for ordinary merchants to buy two more regular screens than to spend this money.

​"High parameters are definitely good"​ ​——There is a restaurant owner who insists on a refresh rate of 1920Hz. In fact, if the human eye exceeds 1000Hz, it is a waste of money.


Personal opinion time

After working on the display screen for more than ten years, I found a strange phenomenon:​ ​Many people compare P value as mobile phone running scores, but this is not the case at all.​ ​! The P4 curved screen we installed in Singapore was specially requested to be reduced to P5 - why? Because the arc structure itself will enhance the visual delicateness!

Now some manufacturers are pushing super small P values, asking me to say that this is manufacturing demand. Like the front desk signs of supermarkets, P3 is completely enough, and it is purely an IQ tax that must be paid if you have to pay P1.8. Remember this sentence:​ ​The one that suits is professional​ ​, use a tape measure to measure the viewing distance before selecting the screen next time, so as to ensure that you can save 30% of your budget!
