How to Choose the Right Pixel Pitch for Your LED Display？

Introduction
Choosing the right pixel pitch is one of the most important decisions when selecting an LED display. Pixel pitch directly affects clarity, brightness, viewing comfort and overall cost. Whether you are buying an indoor fine-pitch screen or a large outdoor billboard, understanding pixel pitch helps you choose the best LED display for your project.

What Is Pixel Pitch in LED Displays?

Pixel pitch refers to the distance (in millimeters) between the center of one LED pixel and the next.
A smaller pixel pitch = higher resolution and clearer image.

Common pixel pitches:

• Indoor: P1.5 / P1.8 / P2 / P2.5 / P3

• Outdoor: P2.5 / P3.91 / P4 / P5 / P6 / P8 / P10

At HTT LED, we manufacture all pixel pitches for indoor, outdoor, rental, and fixed installations.

Why Pixel Pitch Matters

1. Determines the Image Resolution
Smaller pixel pitch means more pixels per square meter, which gives higher clarity, smoother image edges, and better video performance.

2. Affects Viewing Distance
The shorter the audience distance, the smaller pixel pitch you need.

3. Impacts Your Budget
Lower pixel pitch = more LEDs = higher cost.
Choosing the correct pitch avoids overspending.
Examples:

• P2 LED costs much more than P3.91 LED

• P5 outdoor LED is more cost-effective than P4

Recommended Pixel Pitch by Viewing Distance

Formula: Best pixel pitch ≈ viewing distance (meters) ÷ 1,000 × 1,000 mm

• Close distance → small pitch

• Long distance → large pitch

How to Choose the Right Pixel Pitch (Step-by-Step)

1. Confirm Viewing Distance

   • Indoor close-up: P1.5 – P2.5

   • Outdoor far viewing: P4 – P10

2. Decide Your Budget

   • Best clarity → lower pitch

   • Best value → medium pitch (P3 or P4)

3. Consider the Screen Size

   • Large outdoor billboard → P6 / P8 / P10

   • Indoor LED wall → P1.8 / P2 / P2.5

4. Check the Application Environment

5. Compare Factory Quality
   Pixel pitch alone is not enough, you also need to check:

• LED chip (Nationstar / Kinglight)

• Driver IC (ICN / MBI)

• Refresh rate

• Cabinet flatness

• Power supply & receiving card

HTT LED (www.huatengtech.com) provides:

• NovaStar control system

• Nationstar & Kinglight LED chips

• 3840Hz–7680Hz refresh rate

• Outdoor IP65 waterproof
