UNDERSTANDING PIXEL PITCH
Pixel pitch is the distance in millimeters (mm) from the center of an LED cluster, or package, to the center of the next LED package above, below and beside it. The LED packages are mounted on circuit boards and back-plates, known as modules. LED Video Walls are put together by grouping these modules into larger display surfaces, fixing them together like seamless tiles.
LED pitch matters when a person gets close to an LED display, and it is possible to see the individual pixels and the black gaps between them. A basic rule of thumb for pitch and viewing distance is that 1mm in pitch equals 8 ft of viewing distance. A 1.5mm fine-pitch LED display looks amazing, but if day-to-day viewers will be at 30 feet away, the a less-expensive 3mm display will look as great as the 1.5mm option at that distance.
According to LED manufacturers, the current buyer sweet spot for fine-pitch LED displays, is roughly 2mm to 2.5mm. This balances viewing needs and budget practicalities.
