Quick answer

Pixel pitch is the gap between LEDs in millimetres. As a rule, the closest viewer should be at least 1 metre away per millimetre of pitch: P2.6 for audiences from about 3 metres, P3.9 from about 4 metres, and P4.8 for outdoor screens viewed from 5 metres and more.

Brightness

Indoor panels run at about 800 to 1,500 nits. Outdoor panels need about 4,500 nits or more to stay readable in UAE daylight.

Screen size by audience

As a guide, screen height should be about one sixth of the distance to the furthest viewer. See sizes on our LED screen rental page.
