3 Things to Consider While Looking for LED Message Boards or Guidance Sings
If you’re looking for LED display, there are three very important questions to consider, before anything else happens. We want to make sure that you have the display that’s going to work for your situation, after all. So, we’ll look at where you’ll be using it, how close the viewers are going to be, and how large of a screen you want.

When it comes down to it there are near endless options to choose from, so narrowing things down with these three simple questions is going to make it easier for us and for you to decide on all of the different technical components. After all, our goal is to make your life easier, and we want to start achieving that goal before you even place that order.

1. Is LED Message Board for Indoor or Outdoor Use?

If you’re planning to use your LED message boards or guidance signs indoors you can opt for more basic materials and a slightly dimmer level of brightness. On the other hand, if you’re going to be using the display outdoors it needs to be able to stand up to rain and other sources of water as well as dust and debris. Not to mention it needs to be able to be seen in the brightness of the sun.

2. How Close are the Users to the Screen?

How many of us have ever tried to read a screen that just looked blurry or pixelated? That’s what happens when the pixel density isn’t right and you’re trying to read the screen from the wrong distance. It’s not something you want to happen with your LED display. Since higher quality pixel density means a higher price tag, we want to make sure you can get the lowest quality possible while getting the best possible results. Following is a good rule of thumb of what should be the pixel pitch for your needs.

What is pixel pitch?

Pixel pitch is the distance in millimeters from the center of a pixel to the center of the adjacent pixel. Since pixel pitch indicates the amount of space between two pixels, a smaller pixel pitch means there is less empty space between pixels. This equates to higher pixel density.

3. How Large of a LED Message Board Do You Need?

When it comes to TV’s in our homes we usually think that bigger is better, but you don’t want to be spending more than you need when it comes to your LED message board or guidance sign. The larger you go the more people and further will be able to see it, but also the higher the cost is going to go. What that means is you should be going the opposite way as that TV you want in your living room. Choose the smallest screen that you possibly can while making sure that everyone who needs to be able to read it is going to have no problem doing so.
