Where to look at the size of LED large screen? Three major misunderstandings and actual test techniques reveal

2025-05-18 40

Do you always think that the size of the LED large screen is like Schrödinger's cat - you will never know the real size without unpacking it? Last week, I saw a guy from the advertising company measuring the diagonal line with a tape measure against the screen, but he also counted the border and made a big joke. Today, let’s take a look at the tricks that will not be explicitly stated in this industry!


1.​Common measurement misunderstanding rankings​

​Stop using the mobile phone distance measurement app!​​I skipped eight hundred times when I saw these pitfalls:

LED大屏尺寸哪里看?三大误区和实测技巧揭秘
  1. Diagonal Trap​:
    Measure the diagonal of the screen and divide it by 2.54? wrong!
    The actual display area of ​​the LED screen is 5-8cm smaller than that of the case
    ​Correct way: disassemble the border to measure the lamp bead area​

  2. Model scheming​:
    Do you think P4 is a 4mm spacing? A big mistake!
    P4 actual point spacing = 4.8mm (industry general calculation method)
    Real size = number of modules × single module size

  3. Power estimation deviation​:
    Someone calculates power consumption based on the screen area
    Actual power consumption = number of lamp beads × single power consumption (0.2W-0.5W)
    Take a look at a chestnut: 10㎡ P4 screen ≈ 120,000 lamp beads × 0.3W=36kW


II.​Professional review tips​

​Remember this mantra: "Three views, two calculations and one actual measurement"​

  1. ​Look at module encoding​​:
    The sticker on the back of the box hides key information
    For example, NS-P4-320×160 means:

    • P4 point spacing (4.8mm)
    • Single module size 32cm×16cm
  2. Calculate pixel density​:
    Pixel points per square meter = 1,000,000÷(point spacing mm²)
    P4 screen density = 1,000,000÷(4.8×4.8) = 43,402 points/㎡

  3. ​Actually measured grayscale calibration​:
    Use professional test maps to detect effective display areas
    Focus on whether there are dark areas in the surrounding borders (exceeding 2cm is an abnormality)


III.​Practical case analysis

The fenced screen made for Tokyo Stadium last year is a typical example:

  • Customer requirements​: Total length 38 meters, height 1.2 meters
  • ​Practical Plan​​:
    ① Single module size: 400mm×200mm
    ② Number of horizontal modules: 38m÷0.4m=95 groups
    ③ Number of vertical modules: 1.2m÷0.2m=6 groups
  • Final size​:
    95×0.4m=38m (length)
    6×0.2m=1.2m (height)
    Tolerance is controlled within ±3mm

IV.Special tips for beginners

​Don't be fooled by the parameter table!​These three hidden details need to be checked:

  1. ​The proportion of heat dissipation zones​:
    The area of ​​the high-quality screen heat dissipation hole is ≥15% (the box temperature is ≤45℃)
  2. ​Spline seam accuracy​:
    The gap between adjacent modules is ≤0.5mm (A4 paper cannot be inserted)
  3. ​Brightness attenuation value​:
    Brightness attenuation should be ≤10% after 5000 hours of use

Editor's opinion

I have to say that many manufacturers now play sizes into numbers. The most outrageous case I have ever seen - a nominal 100-inch screen with an actual display area of ​​only 92 inches! So remember:​It is better to look at the number of lamp beads than to look at the size, and it is better to check the parameters than to check the uniformity of grayscale​​. The next time you purchase, you will bring a pixel density calculation formula, so that the suppliers will not dare to make random quotes!
