In today’s digital age, LED display screens are increasingly widely used, and they can be seen in commercial advertisements, sports events, stage performances, conference rooms, classrooms and other places. However, facing the wide range of LED display products on the market, many buyers are often confused: How can we choose the LED display that suits us the most? This article will provide you with a one-stop purchasing guide to help you easily select the ideal LED display.

outdoor advertising

1. Clarify application scenarios and requirements

a, outdoor advertising

If your LED display is mainly used for outdoor advertising, the first factor to consider is waterproof, dustproof, UV protection and other protective properties. The outdoor environment is complex and changeable, and the display needs to be able to withstand the erosion of bad weather. In addition, outdoor advertising usually needs to be viewed at a distance, so the brightness of the screen is crucial. The high-brightness LED display can remain clear and visible in direct sunlight, ensuring that advertising information can be accurately communicated to passing pedestrians and vehicles. For example, large outdoor billboards usually need to have a brightness of more than 8,000 nits to cope with strong light during the day. Here is a knowledge about nit brightness.

b, indoor commercial display

For indoor commercial displays, such as shopping malls, supermarkets, etc., the size and resolution of the display screen need to be determined based on the size of the display space. Generally speaking, the screen size of indoor commercial displays is relatively small, but the resolution requirements are high, so as to display high-definition pictures and videos and attract customers’ attention. At the same time, considering that the indoor environment is relatively stable, the requirements for protective performance can be appropriately reduced, but the heat dissipation performance is still important to ensure the stable operation of the display screen.

c, conference room and classroom

In conference rooms and classrooms, LED displays are mainly used for information display and teaching. This type of display usually requires good color reproduction and contrast to ensure that content such as text, charts and videos can be presented clearly and accurately. In addition, considering the high frequency of use of conference rooms and classrooms, the durability and reliability of the display screen are also important considerations. For example, some high-end conference rooms may opt for 4K or even 8K resolution LED displays to provide a more delicate visual experience. Take you to learn about the LED display in the conference room in 5 minutes.

2. Pay attention to technical parameters

a, pixel density

Pixel density is an important indicator for measuring the clarity of LED displays, usually expressed in PPI (number of pixels per inch). The higher the pixel density, the clearer the image on the display screen. For example, the LED display of P3.9 is suitable for large outdoor advertising, while the display of P0.9 is more suitable for indoor high-definition display. Purchasers need to choose the appropriate pixel density based on the application scenario and viewing distance to achieve the best visual effect.

b, brightness and contrast

Brightness determines the visibility of the display in different environments, while contrast affects the layering and color performance of the image. High contrast displays can better present the difference between dark and light colors, making the image more vivid and realistic. For example, when displaying high-definition pictures, a high-contrast display can better highlight the transition of details and colors. How are the brightness and contrast of LED displays adjusted?

c, refresh rate

The refresh rate refers to the number of times the display updates the image per second, in Hz. A high refresh rate display can reduce flickering and smearing of the picture, providing a smoother visual experience. For application scenarios that play videos and dynamic images, such as live broadcasts of sports events, stage performances, etc., the higher the refresh rate, the better. Generally speaking, a refresh rate of at least 60Hz is required to meet basic viewing needs, while some high-end application scenarios may require a refresh rate of 240Hz or even higher.

3. Consider brand and after-sales service

a, Brand selection

Choosing LED displays from well-known brands is a relatively safe choice. Well-known brands usually have a stricter quality control system and more complete supply chain management, which can ensure the quality and performance of their products. In addition, well-known brands have invested a lot in technology research and development and are able to continuously launch more advanced products and technologies. For example, brands such as Leyard and Zhouming Technology have a high market share and good reputation in the field of LED displays, and their products have been recognized by the market in terms of performance and quality.

b, after-sales service

Good after-sales service is an important guarantee for ensuring the long-term and stable operation of LED display screens. Purchasers need to understand the after-sales service content provided by the supplier, including warranty period, maintenance response time, technical support, etc. For example, some suppliers offer up to 5 years of warranty and promise to respond to repair requests within 24 hours, which can greatly reduce losses caused by display failures.

4. Budget planning

The price of LED displays varies according to factors such as brand, specifications, and technical parameters. Purchasers need to choose the right display based on their own budget. Generally speaking, high resolution, high brightness, and high refresh rate LED displays are relatively expensive. In the case of limited budget, buyers can reduce costs by choosing the right application scenario and configuration. For example, for some outdoor advertising scenarios that require low resolution, a display with a lower pixel density can be selected to save costs.

5. Installation and maintenance

a, installation method

There are many ways to install LED displays, including wall-mounted, hoisted, floor-standing, etc. Purchasers need to choose the appropriate installation method based on the application scenario and spatial conditions. For example, shopping mall billboards are usually installed on floor-mounted, while LED displays in conference rooms are mostly installed on wall-mounted. When choosing an installation method, it is also necessary to consider the stability and safety of the installation to ensure that the display does not shake or fall during use.

b, maintenance

LED displays require regular maintenance to extend their service life. Maintenance includes cleaning the screen surface, checking the connection cable, updating the firmware, etc. Purchasers can ask suppliers to provide detailed maintenance manuals to understand how to properly maintain the display. In addition, regular maintenance can also promptly detect potential problems and avoid minor problems causing display failure.
