5 Pixel Pitch Myths That Could Be Ruining Your LED Display Project

Pixel pitch is one of the MOST misunderstood aspects of LED display design. Here are the top 5 myths that cost clients money — or worse, lead to disappointing performance. ❌ Myth 1: Smaller pitch is always better Truth: If your viewers are 30+ feet away, ultra-fine pitch is a waste. Match pitch to viewing distance. ❌ Myth 2: Pixel pitch equals image clarity Truth: Brightness, contrast, and refresh rate ALSO impact clarity — especially for fast-motion content. ❌ Myth 3: You’ll regret not going smaller later Truth: You’ll regret overspending or needing unnecessary power. Buy what your application needs NOW. ❌ Myth 4: Indoor LEDs don’t need tight pitch Truth: Museums, galleries, and luxury brands often require 1.2mm–2mm pitch

Outdoor LED Video Walls: What You Need to Know Before Your Next Build

Outdoor LED displays do more than advertise — they captivate. But choosing the right product for the job isn’t just about size; it’s about durability, brightness, and overall engineering. Here’s what to consider: ✅ Weatherproofing & IP Rating Outdoor displays need sealed components. Look for IP65 or higher to prevent water and dust infiltration. ✅ High Brightness (5,000+ nits) Outdoor LEDs demand sun-readable brightness, especially for midday visibility. ✅ Wide Viewing Angles Whether mounted on a building or freestanding, viewers will see it from different angles — choose at least 140° H/V viewing. ✅ Pixel Pitch & Distance Use larger pitch (e.g., P5–P10) for long-distance displays (highways, stadiums). Smaller pitch for plazas or pedestrian zones. ✅ Structural Engineering Outdoor walls

LED Video Walls vs. Projection Mapping: Which One Fits Your Venue Best?

When it comes to large-scale immersive visuals, there are two main players: LED video walls and projection mapping. Both are powerful — but the right choice depends on your goals, environment, and budget. Here’s a comparison to help you decide: Brightness & Visual Impact LED Walls: Win here — ultra-bright LEDs cut through ambient light, even outdoors. Projection: Best in low-light environments or nighttime experiences. Customization & Shape Flexibility LED Walls: Create cubes, spheres, curves, and more using modular panels. Projection: Use any object or surface as a canvas, but space is required for projectors. Durability LED Walls: Built for 24/7 use. Outdoor options handle rain, wind, and heat. Projection: Lamps, lenses, and cooling systems require maintenance. Total Cost LED
