What are the differences between P3, P4, and P5 LED displays?

With the widespread application of LED display technology, different types of LED displays have appeared on the market, such as P3, P4, and P5 displays. The differences between these names often confuse consumers and they don't know how to choose the right product for them. This article will analyze the differences between P3, P4, and P5 LED displays in detail to help everyone better understand and choose.

  1. What does "P" stand for?

The "P" in the LED display is the abbreviation of "Point" in English, which refers to the distance between the center points of the two lamp beads on the display. The numbers in P3, P4, and P5 represent the size of this distance. For example, the center spacing of the lamp beads of the P3 display is 3 mm, P4 is 4 mm, and P5 is 5 mm. The smaller the distance, the denser the arrangement of the lamp beads. Introduce the working principle of LED lamp beads to you.

  1. The relationship between dot pitch and display effect

The dot pitch (the number after P) directly affects the pixel density and display effect of the LED display. The pixel density of the P3 display is higher than that of P4 and P5, which means that P3 can display more detailed pictures and is suitable for close-up viewing. Relatively speaking, the pixel density of P4 and P5 is lower, which is more suitable for medium and long-distance viewing. Here is everything about small-pitch LED displays.

P3 LED display: The dot pitch is 3 mm, the pixel density is the highest, and the picture clarity is the best. It is suitable for use within a short distance, such as conference rooms, exhibition halls, shopping malls and other places that require high-definition display effects. Take you to understand the conference room LED display in 5 minutes.
P4 LED display: The dot pitch is 4 mm, the pixel density is higher, but it is slightly inferior to P3, and it is suitable for scenes with medium-distance viewing, such as medium-sized performances, traffic signs, etc. Here is a guide to P4 outdoor LED screens for you.
P5 LED display: With a dot pitch of 5 mm and relatively low pixel density, it is suitable for viewing at a longer distance, such as large outdoor billboards, stations, squares and other public places.

  1. Cost difference

Since P3 LED display has a higher pixel density and relatively high production cost, P3 is more expensive than P4 and P5. Although P3 provides clearer picture quality, the cost is also increased. When choosing an LED display, consumers need to decide whether to choose P3 with higher pixels or P4 or P5 with slightly lower pixels but more affordable prices based on their own budget and needs. Here is the price range of commercial LED display.

Conclusion

The main difference between P3, P4 and P5 LED displays is their dot pitch and pixel density, which directly affects the display effect and price. P3 is suitable for close-range high-definition display, P4 is suitable for medium-distance applications, and P5 is suitable for long-distance large occasions. Consumers can reasonably choose the appropriate LED display type according to their usage scenarios and budget to achieve the best display effect.
