3. What are the requirements for performance?
When choosing an LED display, its performance is directly related to the final display effect and the audience’s viewing experience. Here are a few key performance requirements that require special attention:
1). Resolution and clarity
- HD or UHD display requirements:
Resolution is an important indicator for measuring the clarity of the display. For activities that require the display of fine images or text, such as product launches, art exhibitions, etc., ensure that the resolution of the display meets the requirements of HD or UHD (4K, 8K) display. This way, the picture can remain clear and detailed even when viewed from a distance.
2). Brightness and contrast
- Adapt to different lighting conditions:
Brightness is a key factor in the visibility of the display in bright environments. It is crucial to choose the appropriate brightness level according to the lighting conditions of the event venue (such as indoors, outdoors, during the day, at night, etc.).
High-brightness displays can remain clearly visible in the sun, while low brightness is suitable for dark environments to avoid glare. At the same time, contrast is also an important factor affecting the display effect. High contrast can enhance the layering of the picture and make the colors more vivid.
3). Refresh rate and grayscale
- Reduce image smearing and improve color fineness:
Refresh rate refers to the number of times the display screen updates the screen per second. A high refresh rate can reduce image smearing and make dynamic images smoother and more natural.
A high refresh rate is particularly important for activities that require the display of fast-moving images (such as sports events, concerts, etc.). In addition, the grayscale level determines the color level and fineness that the display screen can present.
High grayscale levels can present richer color transitions and more delicate image details, improving the viewing experience.
4). Viewing angle range
- Ensure wide-angle viewing:
The viewing angle range refers to the maximum angle at which the image is not distorted when the audience views the display screen from different angles. In order to ensure that the audience can see clearly from all angles, the display screen should have sufficient horizontal and vertical viewing angles. Generally speaking, wide-angle viewing screens can provide a wider viewing range, so that the audience can get a good viewing experience at different locations.
