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.
