How to Choose the Right Pixel Pitch for Your LED Display

When buying an LED display board, one of the most important factors to consider is pixel pitch. Choosing the wrong pitch can result in a blurry image, or worse, overpaying for unnecessary resolution. Whether you are installing a digital billboard or an indoor screen, this guide will help you choose the right pixel pitch for your LED display.

​What Is Pixel Pitch in LED Displays?

​Pixel pitch refers to the distance (in mm) between the center of two adjacent pixels. It’s often written as P2, P3, P5, etc.

• A smaller pixel pitch (like P1.5) = higher resolution = clearer images up close.
• A larger pixel pitch (like P10) = lower resolution = better for far viewing distances
