Most LED display projects are customized, as the required sizes and resolutions often vary based on specific client needs. However, LED panels themselves are manufactured in standardized dimensions, such as 500x500 mm, 500x1000 mm, 640x480 mm, 960x480 mm, 576x576 mm, 640x640 mm, and 960x960 mm. Due to this standardization, suppliers frequently consult with customers to determine whether slight adjustments to larger or smaller sizes are acceptable, ensuring the final LED screen meets both technical and aesthetic requirements.

How to Calculate LED Display Sizes and Resolutions?
Let’s break it down with an example:
Project Details:
- Application: Indoor wall fixed LED display
- Desired Size: 4m (width) x 2m (height) (13.12ft x 6.56ft)
- Model: P2 (pixel pitch = 2mm)
Theoretical Calculation:
1. Width Resolution:
- Total width = 4000mm
- Pixel pitch = 2mm
- Resolution in width = 4000 ÷ 2 = 2000 pixels
2. Height Resolution:
- Total height = 2000mm
- Pixel pitch = 2mm
- Resolution in height = 2000 ÷ 2 = 1000 pixels
3. Total Theoretical Resolution:
- 2000 (width) x 1000 (height) pixels
Actual Calculation (Based on Standard LED Panels):
Standard P2 LED panels are available in sizes like 960x480mm or 640x480mm. For this project, the 960x480mm panel is the most suitable.
1. Width Calculation:
- Number of LED panels in width = 4
- Total width = 960mm x 4 = 3840mm (12.6ft)
- Resolution in width = 3840 ÷ 2 = 1920 pixels
2. Height Calculation:
- Number of LED panels in height = 4
- Total height = 480mm x 4 = 1920mm (6.3ft)
- Resolution in height = 1920 ÷ 2 = 960 pixels
3. Total Actual Resolution:
- 1920 (width) x 960 (height) pixels
- This is close to the standard 1920x1080 (Full HD) resolution.
Summary:
- Theoretical Resolution: 2000x1000 pixels
- Actual Resolution (using 960x480mm panels): 1920x960 pixels
By using standardized LED panels, the final LED display achieves near-Full HD resolution while maintaining practicality and cost-efficiency.
Recommendations for LED Display Selection
Indoor Projects (Smaller Sizes):
For indoor applications, we recommend smaller pixel pitch models such as P2, P1.86, P1.538, and P1.25. These models offer higher resolutions for the same LED screen size, resulting in sharper and more detailed images and videos.
Key Advantages:
- Higher Resolution: Smaller pixel pitch allows for more pixels per unit area, enhancing image clarity.
- Close-Range Viewing: Perfect for environments where the audience is closer to the LED screen, such as conference rooms, retail spaces, and lobbies.
Outdoor Projects (Larger Sizes):
For outdoor applications, we recommend larger pixel pitch models such as P10, P8, P6.67, P6, P5.33, P5, P4, P3 and P2.5. These models are designed to deliver higher brightness levels, ensuring visibility even in direct sunlight.
Key Advantages:
- Higher Brightness: Larger pixel pitch models are optimized for outdoor use, providing excellent visibility in bright environments.
- Cost-Effective for Large Areas: Perfect for billboards, stadiums, and other large-scale installations where viewing distance is greater.
General Rules for Pixel Pitch Selection:
1. For the Same LED Screen Size:
- Smaller Pixel Pitch: Higher resolution, resulting in clearer and more detailed images.
- Larger Pixel Pitch: Lower resolution, but more suitable for larger LED displays and longer viewing distances.
2. For the Same Resolution:
- Smaller Pixel Pitch: Smaller overall LED screen size, ideal for compact spaces.
- Larger Pixel Pitch: Larger overall LED screen size, better for expansive installations.
Summary:
- Indoor Projects: Prioritize smaller pixel pitch (e.g., P2, P1.86) for higher resolution and close-range viewing.
- Outdoor Projects: Opt for larger pixel pitch (e.g., P10, P8) for higher brightness and long-distance visibility.
By following these guidelines, you can select the most suitable LED display model for your specific project requirements.
