5 Pixel Pitch Myths That Could Be Ruining Your LED Display Project

Pixel pitch is one of the MOST misunderstood aspects of LED display design. Here are the top 5 myths that cost clients money — or worse, lead to disappointing performance.

❌ Myth 1: Smaller pitch is always better

Truth: If your viewers are 30+ feet away, ultra-fine pitch is a waste. Match pitch to viewing distance.

❌ Myth 2: Pixel pitch equals image clarity

Truth: Brightness, contrast, and refresh rate ALSO impact clarity — especially for fast-motion content.

❌ Myth 3: You’ll regret not going smaller later

Truth: You’ll regret overspending or needing unnecessary power. Buy what your application needs NOW.

❌ Myth 4: Indoor LEDs don’t need tight pitch

Truth: Museums, galleries, and luxury brands often require 1.2mm–2mm pitch for detail-rich content.

❌ Myth 5: All P2.5 walls are the same

Truth: Panel type, LEDs, calibration, and driver ICs all change final performance.
