An LED (Light Emitting Diode) is an electroluminescent semiconductor, otherwise known as a low energy light source. LEDs are highly efficient compared to traditional incandescent light sources and they have the ability to switch at much higher rates. LEDs also benefit from much longer service lifetimes, lower operational temperatures and smaller sizes. LEDs are physically more robust than their counterparts. This combination of traits makes them ideal for digital signage and electronic advertising purposes, particularly for use in LED screens.

The real difference is the protection of it’s internal components against rain and other extreme weather conditions. Also the brightness of an outdoor screen is higher, varying between 6000 – 10 000nits, while the brightness of an indoor screen varies between 500 – 2500nits, depending on the surrounding environment.

Naturally you always want to get the best image quality. Some say that the viewing distance from the screen is the only factor that matters and they forget that the size of the LED screen also plays a role. In reality the first thing you have to do is to calculate the total number of pixels of the screen which should not be less than 30 000 pixels.

Not really. Keep in mind that smaller pixel pitch is more expensive. If we take for example 3×2m LED screen and set 10m viewing distance, the image quality will be the same, whether the pixel pitch is 10mm or 8mm. Thus choosing a smaller pixel pitch when it is not necessary, would be an additional cost.

Mounting of your display depends on the location of your LED screen. It also depends on the size, weight and strength of the LED wall, it’s support, ceiling, etc. that we are installing onto. Typically we are able to mount a display where desire, although sometimes we may have to build additional metalwork such as frameworks or support posts. For smaller displays where weight is not a concern, they can be mounted in most locations. Issues such as this are addressed during planning, in the site survey phase.
