When choosing indoor LED displays, specifications like P2.5, P2, and P3 directly impact display quality and cost considerations. This article provides clear explanations with concrete data and practical cases to help you thoroughly understand these specifications and selection points.
Core Technical Specifications Comparison
| Parameter | P2.5 | P2 | P3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pixel Pitch | 2.5mm | 2.0mm | 3.0mm |
| Pixel Density | 160,000/㎡ | 250,000/㎡ | 111,111/㎡ |
| Module Size | 320×160mm | 256×128mm | 192×192mm |
| Module Resolution | 128×64 | 128×64 | 64×64 |
| Optimal Viewing Distance | 2.5-8 meters | 2-6 meters | 3-10 meters |
| Power Consumption | 180-280W/㎡ | 200-320W/㎡ | 150-230W/㎡ |
Technical Insight: Reducing pixel pitch by 0.5mm significantly increases manufacturing complexity. While P2 has only 0.5mm smaller pitch than P2.5, it delivers 56% higher pixel density, explaining the substantial price difference.
