Quick answer: P1.5, P1.8 and P2.5 are common indoor LED display pixel pitches. P1.5 suits viewing from about 1.5–4 m (control rooms, meeting rooms), P1.8 from about 2–5 m (lobbies, retail), and P2.5 from about 3 m and beyond (halls, stages) at a much lower cost per square meter.

Many customers assume the differences are only about image sharpness.

In reality, these pitches also affect:

  • budget
  • 視聴の快適さ
  • インストール環境
  • maintenance complexity
  • camera performance

DDW Engineer Notes: P1.5 vs P1.8 vs P2.5 LED display

Many luxury retail projects now prefer P1.5 or P1.8 because customers often stand very close to the display.

However, for churches or conference halls where viewers sit farther away, P2.5 may already provide excellent visual results while maintaining better project economics.

FAQ

What is the difference between P1.5 and P2.5 LED screens?

A P1.5 LED screen has about 444,000 pixels/m² versus about 160,000 for P2.5, so it looks sharper up close but costs significantly more.

Is P1.8 good for a conference room?

Yes. P1.8 is a popular balance of clarity and cost for conference rooms where viewers sit around 2–5 m away.

Which is more cost-effective, P1.8 or P2.5?

P2.5 is more cost-effective when viewers are 3 m or farther away; P1.8 is worth it for closer viewing or detailed content.
