Understanding Your LED Display
Pixel Pitch
16mm (0.63 in.) is the pixel pitch. This is the distance between the centers of individual pixels (points of light) in the LED display. The smaller the pitch, the more pixels can fit inside of the display.
Matrix Size
60x180 is the matrix size. This is the number of pixels high (60) and the number of pixels wide (180) of the display. That's 10,800 pixels per side! The more pixels, the higher the clarity and amount of detail that can be shown.
Display Colors
This full-color display is capable of showing an enormous number of colors by combining red, green and blue light in different amounts!
Example of colors only. Amount of detail is dependent on matrix size.
Optimum Viewing Distance
The optimum viewing distance for this display is between 52' and 298'. Images and video clips at closer than 52' will be discernible, but will appear pixelated. Greater than 298' will decrease the display's readability. Learn more.
The display area is approximately 3'-1.75" high by 9'-5.5" wide,
or 29.8 sq.ft. per side.
