VIEWING DISTANCE + RESOLUTION

How to choose LED video-wall pixel pitch.

A practical guide to matching LED pixel pitch with viewing distance, wall size, resolution, content and camera use.

The direct answer

Start with what the project actually requires.

Choose pixel pitch by evaluating the closest important viewer, typical audience distance, physical wall size, required native resolution, content detail, camera use and budget together.

01

Start with the real audience.

Measure where people will actually sit, stand, work or record. A rarely used walkway should not automatically control the same decision as the primary seating position.

02

Calculate the canvas resolution.

Physical width divided by pixel pitch determines horizontal pixel count. This reveals whether the proposed wall can present the intended content with appropriate detail.

03

Review the complete tradeoff.

Finer pitch can increase cost and processing demands. Coarser pitch may be entirely appropriate when the audience is farther away or the wall is exceptionally large.

What pixel pitch do I need?

There is no universal answer. The correct pitch follows the actual dimensions, viewers, content and performance expectations.

Does wall size affect resolution?

Yes. At a fixed pitch, a larger physical wall contains more pixels and therefore a higher native resolution.
