How to calculate the size of LED screen and the best choice?

If you want to buy LED display, then you have to consider the size of the LED display, the right display size will bring you the most comfortable and perfect viewing experience. In order to enable you to choose a suitable LED display, this article will take you to understand how to choose the right size LED display.

Why we need to understand the LED display size?

We understand the LED display size is to be able to more easily to choose the right LED display, for this reason, there are the following four small knowledge we need to understand:

 Match the environment

LED display is divided into indoor LED display and outdoor LED display according to the different needs of the environment. The size of the indoor LED display will be smaller, can better match the indoor space, the indoor lighting will not have too much impact; In contrast, the size of the outdoor LED display will be larger, can be waterproof and dustproof, the brightness is also higher, so that people in the sun can also see the content of the LED display.

Consistent with the goal

When we want to buy LED display, we will have a goal, such as: high definition, comfortable viewing experience. For this reason, when we choose the size of the LED display, we have to prioritize the LED display size that is consistent with our goals.

Cost considerations

Standard LED display size production process is mature, low manufacturing cost, affordable. Customized LED display size and environment to match the high degree of complexity of the production process, manufacturing costs are relatively high.

Technical compatibility

In order to be able to present LED display more vivid and complex display effect, give the audience a better experience effect, to achieve their expectations, for this reason, LED display technology compatibility should be high.

The factors that may affect the choice of LED screen size

After we understand the size of the LED display, but also consider what factors it is affected by, to choose a more suitable for their own LED display.

Resolution and pixel pitch

In order for us to have a better viewing experience, high definition is an indispensable factor. High definition is closely related to the resolution and pixel pitch. The higher the resolution, the smaller the pixel pitch, the better the clarity of the LED display, and vice versa, the more blurred the clarity.

Viewing distance and viewing angle

In order to have a comfortable viewing experience, you need to consider the optimal viewing distance and a wide range of viewing angles. This can be determined through certain measurements and evaluations.

Project budget

Whether it is a standard LED display size or a customized LED display size, they are made up of several modules and cabinets. Therefore, the larger the LED display size, the more modules and cabinets required, the higher the price, and vice versa, the lower the price.

Installation environment and space limitations

With the different installation environments, the space limitations are different. Indoors, it is more suitable for the installation of small and medium-sized displays, which will enable the audience to watch close up, more visual impact. Outdoors, more suitable for the installation of large displays, so that more viewers can see from a distance, more impact.

Screen aspect ratio on the content of the impact of the display

The appropriate display aspect ratio will give people a sense of comfort, will not give people a sense of weirdness. The display of the content is also more in line with the human visual capacity, so that the audience is more immersed in it.

Content type

If you buy LED display just want to put static content, then you can choose the technology is not high LED light box, static billboard, to save the budget. If you want to put dynamic content, then you can choose high-quality LED display, which can make it easier for you to make real-time updates and switch the content you want to display.

Purpose of use

According to the above factors, to clarify the goal of what you want to buy, and find the right LED display size for you.

How to calculate the LED display size?

After we understand the factors affecting the size of the LED display, in order to be able to find the right size of the LED display, we need to calculate the size of the LED display.

Calculate according to the scene

Indoor LED display size calculation

Before starting the calculation, we need to measure the length and width of the LED display we want, that is, the ideal length and width, and we also need to choose what type of module we want to use for splicing. The formula is calculated as follows:
Actual length ÷ module type length = number of module lengths
Number of modules × module type length = actual length of the display
Similarly, according to the above two formulas can be obtained: the actual width of the display
The area of the display = the actual length of the display × width

Outdoor LED display size calculation

Outdoor LED display compared to indoor LED display, more is the use of box splicing, its calculation and indoor LED display calculation formula.

Calculate according to the viewing distance

Pixel pitch calculation

Before starting the calculation, we need to know the pixel pitch (distance between pixels) and the total number of pixels (horizontal and vertical), and then start the formula calculation:

  • screen width = number of pixels in the horizontal direction x pixel pitch
  • screen length = number of pixels in vertical direction x pixel pitch
  • screen area = display width x display length

LED display module size calculation

LED display is composed of several modules, so the size of the module will affect the overall size of the display. For this reason, we need to know the width, length and pixel pitch of the module, which is calculated by the formula:

  • Pixel Width = Module Width ÷ Pixel Pitch
  • Pixel Height = Module Height ÷ Pixel Pitch

Calculation by width and height (standard rectangle method)

Calculate the size of the LED display is the most direct way to calculate:

Screen area = width × height

according to the size and number of cabinets to calculate

LED display is composed of multiple LED modules and cabinets, then we need to calculate the size of the LED display, you need to know: the size and number of individual cabinets.
Calculation formula: display area = cabinet width × cabinet height × number of cabinets

 According to the LED display aspect ratio to calculate

The main LED display aspect ratio for the following two, the formula is:
Display aspect ratio = display width ÷ display height

4:3 LED display size ratio

The 4:3 display size aspect ratio is a traditional ratio size, commonly used in old TV sets.

16:9 LED display size ratio

16:9 display size aspect ratio is a modern ratio size, is now the industry standard for monitors and TVs.

Customized LED Display Size

Customized LED displays are mainly for non-rectangular displays, including: cylindrical, fan-shaped and so on. These require you to calculate the area based on arc length, radius or customized dimensions. If you want to provide specific data in this regard, you can consult us to determine the appropriate size of the LED display.

How to choose the right LED display?

When we know how to calculate the LED display size and also understand the factors affecting the LED display size, next, we can pick the most suitable LED display by the following points.

Check the budget

Check your budget before buying the LED display, you want to avoid the situation of insufficient budget. In the case of the same clarity, the larger the display size, the higher the price; in the case of the same size, the higher the clarity, the higher the price.

Browse the LED display size provided by the supplier

After checking the budget, the next step is that we can get a quote from a professional LED display manufacturer like JYLED. Of course, if you wish to save more time, you can also report your own needs with JYLED display manufacturer, they will give a professional and suitable solution.

Some other factors to consider

Determine the installation environment and performance

Depending on the installation environment, the performance of LED display is different. In the outdoor, you can choose the LED display with high waterproof grade, so that the LED display can be used normally in the rainy day. Indoors, you can choose the magnetic LED display, convenient LED display maintenance and maintenance.

Resolution

Above we have mentioned the importance of resolution. When you have enough budget, you can consider a higher resolution LED display, on the contrary, you can choose a slightly lower one.

Gray scale

Whether indoor or outdoor, the better the display will be when you choose an LED display with a high grayscale, i.e. high contrast.

Durability

Choose the one with high durability, i.e., LED display with wide range of temperature and humidity, so that running the LED display in cold or hot weather will not damage its service life.

Case material

If you need easy access to the LED display, it is recommended to use die-casting aluminum, die-casting aluminum can form a variety of easy to access style, the overall aesthetics is high, dismantling and maintenance has become more convenient; if it is a fixed installation or customized non-rectangular display, it is recommended to use iron, it is cheaper, better sealing, and easier to change the shape of the structure.
