Before You Buy an LED Wall, Understand This One Important Number
What does “P2.5” or “P4” mean on an LED video wall?
If you’re planning an indoor or outdoor LED installation, understanding this can save you from choosing the wrong screen.
The โPโ stands for pixel pitch โ the distance (in millimetres) between LED pixels.
๐ Smaller pixel pitch = higher resolution = best for close viewing
๐ Larger pixel pitch = lower cost = better for long-distance visibility
But more importantly โ it directly determines whether your LED video wall is suitable for indoor or outdoor use.
๐น Indoor LED Video Walls
Designed for close viewing distances where image clarity matters most.
โข P1.5 โ P2.5

๐น Indoor / Semi-Large Spaces
โข P3 โ P4
Best for auditoriums, stages, event backdrops, and large halls
โ Balanced clarity and cost
โ Ideal for medium viewing distances
๐น Outdoor LED Video Walls
Built for visibility in daylight and long-distance viewing.
โข P6 โ P10
Used for billboards, hoardings, building facades, and outdoor advertising
โ High brightness for sunlight
โ Weather-resistant
โ Optimized for long viewing distances
๐ก Quick Rule:
Minimum viewing distance (in meters) โ Pixel pitch (in mm)
Choosing the right LED video wall isnโt just about sizeโit’s about selecting the right pixel pitch for the environment (indoor vs outdoor) and your audience distance.
Now you know what to ask for.
