WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN EVALUATING AN LED DISPLAY MANUFACTURER

With the global LED display industry currently valued at $5 billion, it’s not surprising many new companies are entering the sector. Some may be industry veterans simply adding displays to their line of offerings; others, however, may be unseasoned novices making their debut into the Pro AV community. While this means many more options to choose from, it also means it’s more challenging to weed through the multitude of choices to find a dependable provider offering a quality display that meets both your unique needs and price point.

When looking at LED display providers, there are many factors to consider—specifically, the manufacturer’s quality, reputation, and the scope of their product warranties. Although price, size and picture quality are all vital, these screens are application-driven, and varying aspects must be considered dependent upon the display’s overall purpose, making decision-making even more complex. Thus, it’s crucial to ensure that the manufacturer has a clear strategy in its approach to both your project and the LED market.

An Important Pitch to Pay Attention To

A major consideration in selecting LED displays is pixel pitch or pixel density. Pixel pitch is the distance in millimeters from the center of a pixel to the center of each neighboring pixel—a smaller pixel pitch means there is less empty space between pixels, equating to higher pixel density and improved screen resolution. However, the ambient light of various environments requires different pixel pitches, as does the distance your audience will be from the display—the farther the viewer is from the display, the lower the pixel pitch needed to achieve a high-quality image. However, if displays are intended for an audience that can get in close, gaps in a lower pixel pitch display will be evident to the spectator, decreasing image resolution.

Componentry Makes a Difference

The components that make up your display can be as integral to your unique application as pixel pitch. For example, if you expect very high levels of uptime, such as in military operations or healthcare settings, redundant power supplies seamlessly switch power supplies, ensuring uninterrupted content in critical environments. There are also manufacturers who reduce or even eliminate cabling, making installation easier and less expensive. All-metal pixel cards can reduce warping and increase long-term reliability, and high-quality Multicolor LEDs have high humidity resistance. Each of these elements come into play, depending on where your installation is located.

What Makes a LED Company the Best?

When you’re shopping around, you’ll find any number of companies advertising they have the highest quality LED displays, the best warranties, and the very best customer service—but how do you know the company you’re considering is, in fact, the best? Can they provide client references? Who have they worked with, and are they return customers? Is the company prepared to stick with you over the long haul, providing services not just during, but after the installation as well? Also, make sure the company is trying to help you with your needs rather than just trying to sell you what they have. Simply put, it’s best to choose a company with a history of quality.
