What is pixel pitch?

Imagine you have a big board made up of lots of tiny light bulbs.  Each light bulb is a pixel.

Pixel Pitch is simply how far apart these light bulbs are from each other.

If the bulbs are close together (small pixel pitch), the picture will look clearer and sharper, especially when you are close to the screen.  If they are further apart (large pixel pitch), the picture might look a bit more blocky, especially up close, but it can still look good from a distance.

Why It Matters

Smaller Pixel Pitch:

• Better for close-up viewing.
• Smoother, more detailed images.

Larger Pixel Pitch:

• Better for larger displays viewed from a distance.
• Can be more cost-effective for big screens where you don’t need super fine details (you are simply too far away to see the detail – we can advise you on this).

In essence, pixel pitch helps determine how crisp and clear the image on a dvLED screen will look based on how far away you are from it.

Buyer Beware

Many dvLED suppliers will sell the smallest pitch they have in stock, this means a bigger profit for them, we will always recommend the best pitch option for what you have told us your requirements are.
