In our daily life, there are different models of LED display for us to choose, among them, P3 and P4 models of LED display always give us almost the same feeling, but in fact there is a difference between the two.
In order to be able to better distinguish between LED display P3 and P4, you can follow this article to understand.
The basic concept of LED display P3 and P4
- P3 LED display is a display made of LED modules spliced by pixels and the distance between pixels is 3mm.
- P4 LED display is a display that is spliced by LED modules with a distance of 4mm between pixels and pixels.
Difference between p3 and p4 LED displays
Pixel Pitch
Pixel pitch refers to the distance between two pixel dots, but in LED screens, it often refers to the center distance between two LED beads, usually in millimeters.
The smaller the pixel pitch, the closer the two pixels are to each other, the more pixels there are, the higher the resolution, and the better the effect can be presented on the LED display. As you can see from the above introduction, the pixel pitch of P3 is smaller than that of P4, so LED display P3 can bring better picture effects to the audience.
Pixel Density
Through the data of LED World Review, we can know the difference between the pixel density of LED display P3 and LED display P4. The pixel density of LED display P3 is 111111 dots/m2, and the pixel density of LED display P4 is 62500 dots/m2, so the pixel density of LED display P3 is 48611 dots/m2 more than the pixel density of LED display P4.
Therefore, the pixel density of LED display P3 is more than that of LED display P4, which is 48,611 points/㎡. Higher pixel density can bring viewers higher quality pictures and images.
Clarity
How to determine whether the clarity is enough is actually very simple. When the clarity is not enough, there will be obvious small squares, just like we place a very large image in the PS software, you can clearly see the small squares of different colors.
When the pixel pitch is smaller, the higher the pixel density, the whole picture will be subdivided into smaller squares, thus making the image less pixelated, the more details can be presented, the higher the quality of the image. From this, we can know that LED display P3 will have higher clarity than LED display P4, which can provide viewers with a clear and visible image.
Optimal Viewing Distance
The optimal viewing distance will differ between a P3 LED display and a P4 LED display. The optimal viewing distance is affected by the pixel pitch, i.e. the larger the pixel pitch, the more pixelated the image is and the further away the optimal viewing distance is.
According to expert data, the optimal viewing distance for P3 LED monitors is 3~5m/m2 and for P4 LED monitors is 5~8m/m2. If your viewing distance is not within the optimal viewing distance, then the viewing experience will be very affected.
For example, if the viewing distance is 1m/m2 on a P3 LED monitor, you will see obvious color squares on the LED screen, and if the viewing distance is 8m/m2, you will not be able to see the details of the screen.
Module Size
Different types of LED displays are spliced together by different types of LED modules. In most cases, P3 LED display module size of 192 x 192 mm, P4 LED display module size of 320 x 160 mm, can clearly see the P4 LED module size will be larger than the P3 LED module size.
Different LED module sizes can be spliced into different ratios of aspect ratios, and, in the same fixed size, the number of modules that can be used in a P4 LED display will be less than the number of modules in a P3 LED display.
Color Accuracy
LED light beads in the LED display are combined by three light sources, the color of its light source is red, green, blue, through the signal control, the three colors through different ratios for mixing, into a tendency to the reality of the color. Therefore, whether it is LED display P3 or P4, by and large, can have good color accuracy.
However, in the subtle degree, due to the pixel density of LED display P3 will be larger than the pixel density of LED display P4, so the picture of LED display P3 will be cut into smaller squares, better transition of the picture color, there will be no obvious color differences, thus making the overall color accuracy of the picture is improved, and can bring the audience a more vivid and realistic picture.
Average Power Consumption
In terms of average power consumption, the higher the number of pixels, the more energy is needed for the LED display to work, so the average power consumption of P3 LED display is larger than that of P4 LED display.
Specifically, the average power consumption of a P3 LED display is 580 watts and the average power consumption of a P4 LED display is 390 watts. Therefore, a P4 LED display can save 190 watts of power consumption over a P3 LED display.
Price
When making a P3 LED display, in order to get 3 mm pixel pitch, the manufacturer will use advanced technology to manufacture, the difficulty of its production and processing will be higher, resulting in higher manufacturing costs, making the price of P3 LED display more expensive.
While the P4 LED display, its process will be more mature, processing difficulty will be lower than the P3 LED display, its price will be cheaper than the P3 LED display.
Application Scene
LED display P3 is mainly used in indoor scenes, such as: large lecture halls, large banquet halls, shopping malls, such as internal billboards and other viewing distance is relatively close to the occasion.
LED display P4 is mainly used in outdoor scenes, such as: the center of the square, open-air stadiums, outdoor stage performances and other occasions where the viewing distance is relatively far.
Summarize
Through the reading of this article, I believe you can well distinguish between LED display P3 and P4, LED display P3 has the advantages of high clarity, high color accuracy, etc., and LED display P4 has the advantages of low energy consumption and low price.
If you do not make too many demands on the quality of the screen, then you can choose the cost-effective LED display P4.
