Outdoor LED screens

In this article, we will briefly consider the main recommendations for choosing LED street screens, possible configurations, as well as their cost.

Every year, the number of street LED screens and media facades only increases. These advertising media are becoming increasingly larger, their area and coverage area are increasing. But often with an increase in the number, the quality level of the screens decreases, i.e. After 2-3 months of operation, the image becomes very unpresentable. Large non-working segments appear that prevent the reading of information, errors in color reproduction, uneven illumination of LEDs, etc.

Therefore, we strongly recommend that you do not buy equipment with a budget configuration and from an unknown manufacturer. It is desirable that this was precisely the Russian manufacturer, with a good portfolio, a full one-year warranty and timely quality service.

Election recommendations

Pixel pitch

The first thing to do is to determine the location of the LED screen, its size, whether it will be a freestanding metal structure or installation on the facade / roof of the building.

Based on the above data, you can calculate the minimum and maximum point of view of the LED screen and, therefore, choose the physical pixel pitch.

The physical pixel pitch can be easily determined independently, the minimum rounded screen viewing distance is divided by 0.75 and we obtain a relatively accurate step. For example, if the distance from the screen to the nearest viewer is 7-8 meters, then the most appropriate solution would be step 10.

Pixel steps and their cost

Below is a list of the available pixel steps of street screens today, the cost may vary depending on the dollar:

Image resolution

But also do not forget about the image resolution of the LED screen. If the screen size, for example, is 960 by 960 mm, then the resolution at the tenth pixel step will be 96 by 96 pixels, which is not enough to broadcast a good picture. In this case, at least the fifth step will be required, the resolution will be 192 by 192 pixels. Therefore, nevertheless, we recommend that you contact our specialists for advice.

Dimensions

With regard to the size of the street screen, then of course, the larger it is, the more advantageous, both for you and for your advertisers. Such advertising media are much more effective, they attract the attention of a much larger audience, and therefore, the interest of large all-Russian advertisers.

Of course, street screens of large areas are much more expensive, but the payback period is several times shorter if all the moments at the location, policies of the advertising agency and the quality of the equipment are taken into account.

Cost

The cost of an LED street screen is primarily affected by two things, this is the physical pixel pitch and accessories.

The smaller the pixel pitch, the more expensive the cost of the equipment, however, the reproduced image on the screen will be better and more detailed.

Equipment

With regards to components, the main part of the total cost of the LED screen is made up of LEDs, power supplies and a control system. According to the LEDs, three options are possible, the price is lower in descending order:

1. Cree (USA);
2. Nationstar (China);
3. Epistar (Taiwan).

Power supplies, this is one of the most important components of any LED screen, so the more reliable and technologically advanced units, the more uninterrupted and longer the equipment will work. Such power supplies are more adapted to various operating conditions, to harsh climatic conditions, voltage drops, etc. We also offer a choice of three options, the lower the cheaper:

1. TDK-Lambda (Япония);
2. Meanwell (China);
3. G-Energy (China).

To understand the cost of outdoor LED screens, we will draw up a table and consider several options for sizes and configurations. The cost may vary depending on the dollar:
