Four Pixel Pitches – Pick the Right One for Your Viewing Distance

Shared Specifications – Same Cabinet, Four Resolutions 

What Common Cathode Actually Means for You 

The short version: you spend less money on electricity.

The longer version: most video displays use a common anode design with 5V power across all LEDs. That wastes energy as heat. Common cathode drives red at 2.8V and green/blue at 3.8V-closer to what each color actually needs.

What that looks like on your bill:

265W/m² average consumption vs. 400-450W/m² on conventional screens

~35-40% power savings

Lower heat output = less cooling needed

Better color consistency as brightness decreases over time

If you're running a 100m² screen 12 hours a day, the savings add up to roughly $3,000-$5,000 a year depending on your electricity rate.

Which Pitch Should You Choose?

P3.906 – 65,536 dots per square meter. Sharpest of the four. Use it where people stand within 4-5 meters of the screen. City-center facades, retail window displays, any application where your viewer is close.

P4.8 – 43,264 dots per square meter. The middle option for medium-distance viewing. Shopping malls, pedestrian zones, building facades where viewing starts at 5+ meters.

P6.25 – 25,600 dots per square meter. Stepping down on resolution, stepping up on cost-effectiveness. Large-format facades, perimeter advertising, applications where viewing starts at 6+ meters.

P10.4 – 9,216 dots per square meter. The budget option. Best for highway billboards, stadium screens, and any application where people won't be closer than 10 meters. At distance, the resolution is perfectly adequate-and you pay significantly less per square meter.

Building facades – Lightweight 26kg cabinets mount on exterior walls. IP65 takes care of weather. Common cathode keeps the power bill manageable.

Stadiums & arenas – Wide viewing angles (140° both ways) mean every seat sees the screen. 3840Hz refresh means TV cameras pick up no flicker.

Highway billboards – P10.4 is the sweet spot here. Long viewing distance, lower cost per meter, still sharp at speed.

Public squares – Choose P3.9 or P4.8 depending on how close the crowd gets. Both perform well in high-ambient-light conditions with >5500 nits brightness.

Shopping malls – P4.8 or P6.25 depending on ceiling height and foot traffic flow. Both handle the bright indoor/outdoor transition well.

Spanish construction group – P10.4 highway video billboard on A-6 motorway

A Spanish construction group with multiple ongoing infrastructure projects wanted to promote their brand on the A-6 motorway connecting Madrid to northwest Spain. The billboard needed to be visible at highway speeds, durable in all weather, and easy to maintain-the site had no rear access.

P10.4 was the obvious choice. 10.4mm pixel pitch is sharp enough at 20+ meters, and cost per square meter is significantly lower than tighter pitches. IP65 front and rear meant the screen could be pressure-washed during routine maintenance without damage. Front maintenance access was essential-no rear space available.

The group's communications director: "We're visible to thousands of drivers every day. The screen has been running 24/7 for eight months now. We haven't touched it since installation."

Portuguese music festival – P6.25 outdoor stage rental screen

A major music festival in Portugal, held annually near the Algarve coast, needed a rental screen for their main stage. The event runs for three days in peak summer, with headliners performing after sunset. The screen had to be bright enough for dusk-to-night transitions, lightweight for quick load-in/load-out, and weather-resistant for coastal conditions. The production team was tired of the heavy steel cabinets that took half the crew to move.We supplied P6.25 on 1000×1000 cabinets. At 6.25mm pixel pitch, it was the sweet spot for audience distances ranging from 8 to 25 meters. 26kg per cabinet-light enough for the venue's rigging points. IP65 front and rear for Algarve's unpredictably humid evenings.

The production manager: "The load-out alone sold us on this screen. With steel cabinets, you need a crew of eight. With these, you get the whole thing down in half the time. After a three-day festival, that's the difference between a happy crew and a dead one."

Frequently Asked Questions

1.What's the real power saving with common cathode?

Against a conventional 5V screen, you're saving about 35-40%. Average consumption on this line is 265W/m². Conventional screens in the same category typically run 400-450W/m².

2.Which pixel pitch should I choose?

Short answer: pick the widest pitch that works at your viewing distance. You'll save money. The table at the top shows the recommended distance for each pitch. If your viewers are 4 meters away, go P3.9. If they're 10 meters away, P10.4 is fine and much cheaper.

3.How much does the cabinet weigh?

26kg for the 1000×1000. Die-cast aluminum. Light enough for most building facades without reinforcement.

4.Is it really IP65?

IP65 front and rear. Dust-tight and water-jet proof. Rain, pressure washing, humidity-handles all of it.

5.What about maintenance?

Front and rear access. Modules swap from whichever side you have access to. The screen doesn't have to come down for repairs.

6.What's the refresh rate?

3840Hz minimum. No scan lines on camera. Broadcast-friendly.

7.How long do the LEDs last?

100,000 hours. Over 11 years at 24/7 operation.

8.What's the operating temperature range?

-20°C to +50°C. Works in most climates. For extreme conditions, let us know and we'll advise.
