Outdoor LED displays are widely used, and there is huge market demand for them. However, when making a purchase, new buyers often run into problems because they don't consider all the factors thoroughly. This article will walk you through the five most common mistakes when buying outdoor LED displays-check to see if you've made any of them!
Mistake 1: Choosing An Inappropriate Pixel Pitch
When purchasing LED displays, it's believed that a smaller pixel pitch is always better, overlooking the viewing distance at which the product will be used. Of course, the smaller the pixel pitch of an LED display, the better the image quality-but the price will also be higher.
Suggestion: When selecting a pixel pitch, take the viewing distance into account to avoid wasting your budget!
Mistake 2: Ignoring the Product's Brightness Specifications
When selecting outdoor LED displays, people typically consider the impact of the application environment. However, in outdoor settings, brightness specifications are also important. If the display brightness is too low, the image will be unclear or the contents will be unreadable in direct sunlight.
Suggestion: When selecting an outdoor LED display, choose a product with a brightness of at least 5,500–7,000 nits.
Mistake 3: Choosing The Cheapest Product to Save Costs
The result is frequent product malfunctions, constant repairs, and higher overall costs.
Suggestion: When purchasing products, consider their lifespan and overall cost, and choose products that offer better value for money.
Mistake 4: Ignoring the product's maintenance method
Most outdoor LED displays are installed in places that are difficult to maintain. The maintenance method can affect both the ease of maintenance and the associated costs.
Suggestion: Determine the installation location in advance when purchasing. If the display needs to be permanently mounted on the exterior wall of a tall building, front maintenance is better than rear maintenance.
Mistake 5: Focusing solely on the purchase price of a product without considering other costs, such as energy consumption.
Suggestion: For projects with long-term operation, prioritize energy-efficient products.
