How to Choose Pixel Pitch
Many customers ask:
“Which pixel pitch should I choose?”
In reality, there is no universal answer.
The correct pixel pitch depends on the entire project environment, not just the screen itself.

The 5 Most Important Factors
- Distance de visionnage
This is usually the first factor engineers evaluate.
Closer viewing requires smaller pitch.
- Indoor or Outdoor
Indoor projects usually use:
- 9–P3.9
Outdoor projects usually use:
- 9–P10
Outdoor environments prioritize:
- luminosité
- imperméabilisation
- distance de visualisation
- Content Type
Text-heavy content requires finer pitch.
Exemples :
- données financières
- conference presentations
- command center dashboards
Video-focused applications can often tolerate larger pitch.
Exemples :
- concerts
- publicité extérieure
- sports events
- Camera Usage
Projects involving:
- XR
- broadcast
- production virtuelle
- diffusion en direct
usually require finer pitch and higher refresh rate.
- Budget Balance
Ultra-fine pitch significantly increases:
- LED cost
- control system cost
- installation complexity
- maintenance difficulty
The goal is not choosing the smallest pitch.
The goal is choosing the most suitable pitch.
Typical Pixel Pitch Recommendations

Église | P2,5–P3,9 |
Magasin de détail | P1.5–P2.5 |
Location de scène | P2.6–P4.8 |
Panneau d'affichage extérieur | P5–P10 |
Stade | P6–P10 |

Notes de l'ingénieur DDW
In many high-end projects, customers initially choose pitch based only on online specifications.
However, experienced system integrators usually evaluate:
- audience movement
- type de contenu
- ambient light
- camera distance
- installation conditions
- future maintenance
Pixel pitch selection is an engineering decision, not only a specification comparison.
