How to Choose Outdoor LED Screen Size?
How to determine the appropriate screen size requires considering factors such as the size of the venue and the number of people it can accommodate. If the screen is too small, the information cannot be clearly received by the audience at a distance, and if it is too large, it may cause waste or construction difficulties. Therefore, we recommend starting from the following core factors:
Determine the screen size based on the venue area and viewing distance
In outdoor scenes, the viewing distance is often far, and the screen needs to be large enough to ensure the efficiency of information transmission. Here are some practical dimensions for determining screen size:
❶ Viewing distance
It is usually recommended that “pixel pitch (mm) × 1.5~2 = optimal viewing distance (meters)”
For example, the optimal viewing distance of the P6 screen is about 9~12 meters
❷ Capacity & coverage angle
The more people and the wider the venue, the larger the screen size needs to be
For example:
Small square events (100~200 audiences): the recommended screen size is between 3x2m and 4×2.5m
Medium and large commercial conferences or cultural performances (more than 500 people): 6x3m, 8x4m or even larger can be selected
❸ Venue ratio and visual range
The screen aspect ratio is usually 16:9 or 4:3
The screen size needs to be appropriately widened or the installation height needs to be increased according to the front/side distribution range of the audience
Installation method affects size and selection strategy
LED screen installation The method determines the achievable size, structural stability and maintenance path.
Common installation methods:
Post type (single post/double post): suitable for road advertising, large squares, and can support extra-large screens
Wall mounting: suitable for building exterior wall advertising, the size should be selected in combination with the wall’s load-bearing capacity
Suspension/truss fixing: commonly used for temporary activity stages, car screens, etc., the screen should not be too heavy
Embedded installation: suitable for shopping malls, subway entrances, etc., and customized sizes are required for aesthetics
The installation method will also affect engineering details such as structural size redundancy, wiring paths, and windproof design. It is recommended to conduct installation evaluation simultaneously during the size planning stage.
How to choose the right pixel pitch?
After the screen installation method and screen size are determined, how to choose the right pixel pitch becomes a new problem.
Pixel pitch refers to the distance between the centers of two adjacent lamp beads on the LED display, in millimeters (mm), such as P4, P6, P8, etc.
The smaller the pitch: the higher the pixel density, the clearer the picture, but the higher the cost
The larger the pitch: the farther the viewing distance needs to be, which is suitable for long-distance advertising with simple content
Choosing the right pixel pitch should be based on two core dimensions: viewing distance and picture content complexity.
Viewing distance is the key to selection
A general empirical formula is:
Shortest viewing distance (meter) ≈ pixel pitch (mm) × 1.5~2
Example:
P4: Applicable to close viewing within 6~8 meters
P6: Applicable to viewing distance of 9~12 meters (such as squares, crowded areas)
P8: Applicable to 12~16 meters (such as commercial streets, highway entrances)
P10: Applicable to long-distance viewing of more than 15 meters (such as column-type billboards, highway screens)
If the actual viewing distance is shorter than the recommended value, “graininess” will appear; if it is longer than the recommended value, the clarity is wasted and the cost is high.
Content complexity determines clarity requirements
In addition to viewing distance, the complexity of the content to be played must also be considered:
Content type Recommended pixel pitch Description
Simple text + LOGO advertising P8~P10 Suitable for conveying brands or slogans at a distance
Images + dynamic images + product introductions P6~P8 Clearly display details, suitable for commercial display scenarios
Videos + animations + fine graphics P4~P6 High-density pixels are recommended, and the picture is more vivid and natural
If you plan to display high-definition videos, brand advertisements, and dynamic visual content on the screen, it is recommended to choose P6 and below models to ensure clear and smooth picture quality.
Balance between budget and cost performance
In the purchase of outdoor LED video walls, pixel pitch is one of the core factors affecting the price. Generally speaking:
Under the same size conditions, P4 is 30%~50% more expensive than P6
On the premise of ensuring the viewing effect, appropriately enlarging the pitch can greatly reduce costs
Therefore, a balance should be achieved between clarity requirements and budget to avoid the two extremes of “excessive performance” or “inadequate picture quality”.
| Application Scenario | Recommended Pixel Pitch | Description |
|---|---|---|
| City Squares & Public Plazas | P6 ~ P8 | Medium viewing distance, suitable for high-traffic areas |
| Shopping Malls & Commercial Streets | P4 ~ P6 | Close viewing, requires sharp image and detail display |
| Highway LED Billboards | P8 ~ P10 | Long-distance visibility, mainly for brand exposure |
| Stadium Perimeter Advertising | P6 ~ P10 | Wide-angle view, dynamic content playback |
| Temporary Stage & Rental Events | P3.91 ~ P5 | Supports high-resolution video and dynamic visuals |
| Transportation Hubs (Airports, Metro) | P4 ~ P6 | Mixed distances, requires clear text and image performance |
| Building Facade LED Walls | P6 ~ P8 | Wall-mounted installation with wide viewing coverage |
How to Choose the right control system?
In outdoor LED billboard, the control system is one of the core components, which directly determines the form of the playback content, the update method and the operation stability.
At present, there are mainly two types of control methods: synchronous control system and asynchronous control system. Different application scenarios are suitable for different system solutions.
Synchronous Control System
The synchronous system is like a “real-time computer screen”. The display content is completely dependent on the external video source or the output of the control computer. The display content is updated in real time and supports high-definition video and dynamic picture transmission.
Applicable scenarios:
Scenarios where high-definition video, dynamic advertising, and live broadcast are required.Such as: large LED screens for commercial conferences, stage performance screens, advertising screens in sports stadiums, large screens for outdoor events, etc.
Advantages:
Smooth picture, support for 1080P or even 4K real-time video output. Can be linked to audio and video systems to achieve an immersive experience
Disadvantages:
Requires a dedicated computer or video processor to continuously supply signals.High cost, suitable for high-demand projects
Asynchronous Control System
The asynchronous system is similar to the “U disk player” mode. The program is first uploaded to the control card, and then the screen can play the content independently from the computer. It is suitable for playing pictures, text, simple videos and other content, and remote control is also very convenient.
Applicable scenarios:
Shop door advertising screen. Highway billboard. Community, gas station, government propaganda column, etc.
Advantages:
Offline operation, no need for continuous Internet connection or computer control. Programs can be updated remotely or locally via 4G, WiFi, U disk, USB. Lcost, simple operation
Disadvantages:
Not suitable for live broadcast, frequent switching of high-definition video content. Resolution and refresh rate are slightly lower than synchronous system.
Control card brand recommendation (for outdoor LED video wall)
In order to ensure system stability and compatibility, it is recommended to use well-known brands of LED control cards. The commonly used ones are as follows:
| Brand | Model Series | System Type | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| NovaStar | TB Series (Asynchronous), VX Series (Synchronous) | Both Sync & Async | Market leader, supports 4K processing, stable performance, smart cloud management |
| Colorlight | A Series, C Series, Z Series | Both Sync & Async | Cost-effective, easy integration, widely used in advertising and commercial displays |
| Linsn | TS Series, RV Series | Synchronous | Established brand, mature and stable, suitable for large-scale projects |
| Huidu | HD Series | Asynchronous | Ideal for storefronts and building displays, supports cloud remote management |
