What factors influence the cost of a standalone LED advertising display?
What Really Determines LED Screen Cost? 1. Display Size and Resolution Size is the most obvious cost driver — more physical area means more LED modules, more structural material, and more electronics. But resolution is equally important and often misunderstood. Resolution in LED displays is expressed through pixel pitch , which is the distance in millimeters between the center of one LED pixel and the next. A display with a 2mm pixel pitch (P2) has far more LEDs packed into the same area than a P6 display, making it significantly more expensive to manufacture. The right pixel pitch depends on the typical viewing distance — a billboard seen from 30 meters away doesn't need the same density as a display in a retail store where customers stand a meter or two away. Choosing a finer pitch than necessary is a common and costly mistake. 2. Indoor vs. Outdoor Use Outdoor LED displays live in a harsh world. They need to handle direct sunlight, rain, dust, humidity, freezing temperatures...
