LED Wall View Distance
When selecting a Direct View LED video wall, the most fundamental decision to make is what pixel pitch to choose. Pixel pitch, or pitch,
is the millimeter measurement of space between the centers of LED pixels in the video wall. A video wall with 2 millimeter (2mm) pitch
has 2mm distance between any two adjacent pixels.
Pixel pitch directly determines pixel density—the number of pixels in a given screen area—and pixel density directly determines
recommended viewing distance–the distance away from the video wall a viewer should be to have a satisfactory viewing experience.
The finer, or smaller, the pitch, the closer the acceptable viewing distance. The larger the pitch, the further away a viewer should be.
Fine pitch LED video walls are considered to be within the range from 0.6mm to approximately 2.5mm with anything with larger pitch
being considered Standard pitch. Pitch also directly influences cost. As pixel pitches and viewing distances decrease, pixel density and
costs increase.
For the best value, it’s important to know the average viewing distance for the primary application, then select the video
wall display with a pitch that suites it best
LED Wall Viewing Distance Calculation
Acceptable viewing distance is subjective; it’s whatever a viewer perceives to be acceptable. There are, however, methodologies to determine acceptable viewing distance in a more objective way:
