At large-scale events like concerts and exhibition launches, the size selection of LED rental screens directly impacts the visual experience of the audience. Choosing the right size creates breathtaking visuals, while choosing the wrong size can diminish meticulously planned events. Master these key factors to determine the ideal dimensions:
I. Viewing Distance: The Golden Rule of Sizing
How far is the audience from the screen? This is critical. Close-range viewing (e.g., runway shows, small conferences): Requires high-resolution, fine-pitch screens (e.g., P2.5-P3.9) to avoid visible pixelation.
Long-range viewing (e.g., concerts, music festivals): Larger pixel pitches (P4.8+) are suitable.
General formulas:
Minimum viewing distance ≈ Pixel pitch (mm) × 1000
Optimal viewing distance = Screen height × 1.5–3
Examples:
P2.5 indoor screen at 3–5m: Requires 2–3m²
At 10m distance: Requires 10–15m²
Concerts: Often requires hundreds or thousands of square meters of LED rental screen
II. Resolution: The Invisible Gauge of Clarity
Size ≠ Clarity! Pixel density determines image quality:
10m² P2.5 screen: 1.6 million pixels
10m² P4 screen: 560,000 pixels
Resolution is determined by both screen size and pixel pitch. Larger screen size + smaller pixel pitch = higher clarity. For stage design scenarios, screens must display complex visuals while synchronizing with lighting/audio systems.
III. Venue Layout: Beyond Rectangular Conventions
Stage architecture significantly influences screen configuration:
Main stage backdrop: 16:9 rectangle (covering >70% stage width)
Circular venues: Curved or L-shaped configurations
Interactive zones: Custom-shaped modules (triangles/waves) for visual impact
IV. Budget: Balancing Scale and Cost
Larger size ≠ Higher cost! Cost-saving strategies:
Focal optimization: Match main screen to primary audience areas
Modular flexibility: Combine standard 500×500mm or 500×1000mm units
Cost principle: Smaller pitch + larger area = Higher cost. Select based on actual needs and budget.
Selecting LED screen size requires comprehensive consideration of viewing distance, resolution, venue layout, and budget. Scientific analysis, scenario-based design, and cost optimization achieve optimal balance between visual impact and economic efficiency.
