What’s the difference between DV-LED P1.8 and P2.5?

What’s the difference between DV-LED P1.8 and P2.5?

P2.5 LED panels have a pixel pitch of 2.5mm

P1.8 LED panels have a pixel pitch of 1.8mm

(The pixel pitch (AKA pitch or dot pitch) is the density of the pixels)

The pixels on a P1.8 panel are spaced 1.8mm from the centre of a pixel to the centre of the adjacent pixel.

The pixels on a P2.5 panel are spaced 2.5mm from the centre of a pixel to the centre of the adjacent pixel.

P1.8 & P2.5 Pixel Pitch

A lower pixel pitch eg. P1.8 means less empty space between pixels which is the same as having a higher pixel density. This therefore improves the overall screen resolution however the cost also increases as the pixel pitch reduces.

It is important to consider the viewing distance of a DV-LED video wall, a smaller pixel pitch allows for a closer viewing distance. A P1.8 DV-LED Video Wall will have significantly higher resolution and a closer optimal viewing distance than a P1.8 DV-LED Video Wall.

The suggest viewing distances are as follows:

A P1.8 DV-LED Video wall when viewed from approximately 1.8m will appear as a seamless image where the individual LED Pixels are not distinguishable. A P2.5 DV-LED Video wall when viewed from approximately 2.5m will appear as a seamless image where the individual LED Pixels are not distinguishable.
