The Industry-Proven Way to Get Pixel Pitch, Resolution, Module Selection, and Cost Right — Every Time
In custom LED display projects, pixel pitch and module planning are the core of visual quality, budget control, and long-term reliability.
Typical scenarios:
“I want an LED wall for my retail store but don’t know how big or what model.”
“My client needs a quote for an outdoor video board, but I don’t have the full engineering data yet.”
“We’re comparing the cost of installing a screen in the US versus Germany.”
“How much power will my design need, and what’s the recommended viewing distance?”
Why use this tool?
Choosing and quoting an LED display is often complex for both professionals and newcomers. The LED Screen Pro Estimator simplifies the process—no calculations, no engineering background required. It helps anyone instantly estimate the key parameters, costs, recommended models, power, shipping, and installation requirements for a custom LED video wall.

No registration, no ads, and your data is not collected. Use as many times as you need.
Scenario 1:
You’re bidding for a shopping mall LED facade. By inputting the exact installation dimensions and typical audience distance, the calculator recommends the best pixel pitch and instantly estimates pixel count and required module types. No more “overdesigning” or misquoting.
Scenario 2:
An international client wants a multi-purpose stage screen, sometimes used at 2m, sometimes at 15m distance. You use the calculator’s “compare pitch” feature to show the visual effect difference (and cost) between P1.5 and P3.9 in their real venue.
Scenario 3:
Your team is debating between multiple vendors’ proposals. By entering their specs, you can benchmark power consumption, brightness, and maintenance needs—making your technical decision with hard data.
If your project involves special shapes (circular, ribbon, ultra-narrow), ultra-high brightness, interactive functions, or strict power/weight limits, our engineers will help you customize the tool’s results and avoid hidden traps.

1. What is pixel pitch?
Answer:
Pixel pitch is the distance (in millimeters) between the centers of two adjacent pixels on an LED display. A smaller pixel pitch means higher resolution and allows for closer viewing distances with sharper images. For example, a 2.5mm pixel pitch offers finer detail than a 5mm pitch.
2. What is an LED module?
Answer:
An LED module is the smallest standardized building block of an LED screen. Each module contains a grid of LEDs and integrated electronics, and multiple modules are assembled to create the full display, making it easy to scale screens to different sizes and shapes.
3. How bright should my screen be?
Answer:
The required brightness depends on your application. Indoor LED screens typically need 300–800 nits, while outdoor displays often require 5,000 nits or more to remain visible in direct sunlight. Higher brightness ensures visibility in bright environments but may increase power consumption.
4. Do I need professional installation?
Answer:
For small screens, installation can be straightforward. However, for large displays (over 10 m²), curved, or outdoor screens, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure safety, correct electrical connections, weatherproofing, and optimal viewing performance.
5. How do I choose the right pixel pitch?
Answer:
Choose pixel pitch based on the closest viewing distance. As a rule of thumb, the minimum comfortable viewing distance (in meters) is approximately equal to the pixel pitch (in millimeters) multiplied by 2 or 3. For example, a 3mm pitch is suitable for viewers about 6–9 meters away.
6. What is screen refresh rate and why does it matter?
Answer:
Refresh rate refers to how many times per second the image is updated (measured in Hz). Higher refresh rates (≥ 1920Hz) reduce flicker and produce smoother motion, which is especially important for video and broadcast applications.
7. What is the lifespan of an LED screen?
Answer:
Quality LED displays typically have a lifespan of 50,000–100,000 hours under normal operating conditions. Lifespan may be reduced by prolonged use at maximum brightness, poor ventilation, or harsh outdoor environments.
8. How often does an LED screen require maintenance?
Answer:
Regular maintenance includes dust removal, visual inspection for dead pixels or loose modules, and checking electrical connections. Outdoor screens may also need periodic waterproofing. For most installations, a professional check every 6–12 months is sufficient.
9. What certifications are needed for installation in my country?
Answer:
Certification requirements depend on your location. In the US, UL/cUL is recommended; in the EU, CE certification is mandatory; in Australia, AS/NZS standards apply. Always consult with your local supplier or installer regarding compliance.
10. What is the typical power consumption of an LED screen?
Answer:
Power consumption varies by pixel pitch, brightness, and screen size. Indoor screens usually consume 150–250 W/m² (maximum), while outdoor screens can use 600–900 W/m². Typical usage is about 30–40% of the maximum rating.
Q: Why is pixel pitch so critical in LED design?
A: Pixel pitch directly affects clarity, viewing comfort, and budget. Too large, and your image “breaks up” at typical distances; too small, and you overspend for no benefit.
Q: What’s the best way to select a pitch for outdoor advertising?
A: Consider both the closest and furthest audience—then use the calculator to see which pitch matches both, or plan a multi-zone solution.
Q: Can the calculator recommend module types for curved or custom shapes?
A: Yes—select “curved/creative” in the environment dropdown, and you’ll get recommended flexible or special-shaped modules.
Q: How accurate is power consumption data?
A: Based on average industry power profiles, with real-world “typical use” and “peak use” values. For strict design, contact our engineers for project-specific calculations.
Q: Can I use the results for official project quotes?
A: Yes, and you can Contact EKINTRY for a formal quotation or technical review based on your calculation.
