QUICK ANSWERS

Guides & Tools FAQs

A few common questions before you start planning your screen.

Start with the application, indoor or outdoor environment, closest viewing distance, approximate screen size and the type of content you will display. These factors help narrow down the appropriate specification.

Not necessarily. Finer pixel pitch can provide better close-range detail, but it can also increase project cost. The pitch should be matched to the actual viewing distance and application.

The calculator is intended for planning and estimation. Final pricing depends on the selected modules, cabinets, controller, structure, installation, site conditions and other project requirements.

Pixel pitch determines the spacing between pixels. If viewers are close to the screen, a finer pitch can improve perceived detail. At greater distances, an unnecessarily fine pitch may provide little visible benefit relative to its additional cost.

That's completely fine. Start with the available wall, façade or installation area and the expected audience distance. A proper site assessment can then help determine the practical screen dimensions.

Planning tools and guides are intended for preliminary guidance only. Actual screen specifications, pixel pitch, brightness, structure, power requirements, installation scope and final pricing should be confirmed according to the specific project site and selected hardware.
