Resolution refers to the number of pixels (e.g., 1920×1080) on an LED screen.
Higher resolution = Sharper images, finer details, and better clarity, especially up close.
Lower resolution may appear pixelated or blurry at short distances but can be cost-effective for large outdoor screens viewed from afar.
Tip: Choose pixel pitch (distance between pixels) based on viewing distance. Smaller pitch = better close-up clarity.
Brightness (measured in nits) determines how well the screen performs under ambient light.
Indoor displays: 500–1,500 nits (balanced for eye comfort).
Outdoor displays: 5,000+ nits (to combat sunlight glare).
Too low brightness: Hard to see in daylight; content appears washed out.
Too high brightness: Causes eye strain in dark environments and increases power consumption.
Solution: Opt for auto-brightness adjustment or manual calibration based on environment.
No. They serve different purposes:
Resolution improves detail.
Brightness ensures visibility.
A 4K screen with low brightness will still be hard to see outdoors, while a bright but low-res screen may look grainy up close.
Ideal Balance: Match resolution to viewing distance and brightness to lighting conditions.
Scenario | Recommended Resolution | Brightness (Nits) |
---|---|---|
Indoor conference | 1080p–4K (small pixel pitch) | 500–1,500 nits |
Outdoor billboard | Lower res (large pitch) | 5,000–10,000 nits |
Retail signage | 1080p | 2,000–3,000 nits |
Pro Tip: For video walls, ensure uniform brightness across all panels to avoid inconsistencies.
Daytime: High brightness is needed to compete with sunlight.
Nighttime: Excessive brightness causes glare and energy waste.
Fix: Use light sensors or scheduling software to auto-adjust brightness.
❌ Using outdoor brightness levels indoors (causes eye strain).
❌ Ignoring viewing distance when selecting resolution.
❌ Overlooking content type (e.g., text-heavy content needs higher resolution).
Best Practice: Test settings with actual content before finalizing.
