Introduction
With the acceleration of urbanization, outdoor LED displays have become an important carrier for city image display, commercial advertising, and information release. However, in the market, we will find that there are significant differences in the quotations for outdoor LED displays of different brands and models, which confuses many consumers and buyers when choosing.
1. Technical specifications and material selection
1). Display technology and resolution
The display technology and resolution of the LED display directly determine its display effect and clarity. Different display technologies and resolutions can have a significant impact on price.
For example, Displays using high resolution and advanced display technologies (such as Mini LED and Micro LED) have relatively high manufacturing costs because they can provide higher pixel density and more delicate display effects. For example, the P2.5 model of LED display has a resolution of up to 160,000 dots/square, and the price is about 9,500 yuan per square meter, while the P8 model has similar brightness but has a lower resolution and the price is only about 3,100 yuan per square meter.
2). Luminous materials and color expression
LED chips, packaging, and color correction technology are key to display luminescence and color performance. High-quality materials and technology can bring better brightness and color effects, but they also increase costs.
- Reason analysis:
Using high-quality LED chips and precise color correction technology can ensure that the brightness and color performance of the display are more stable, uniform, and realistic. Such displays tend to cost more but also provide a better user experience.
3). Material and protection level
The material and protection level of the display determines its durability and environmental adaptability. Displays with different materials and protection levels will have different costs.
- Investment analysis:
Displays designed with high-strength materials such as metal and high protection levels can better resist the influence of the external environment, such as rain, dust, ultraviolet rays, etc. This type of display requires higher investment in materials, design, and manufacturing, so the price is relatively high. However, such investment can also bring better service life and stability and reduce later maintenance costs.
2. Dimensions and installation requirements
1). Display size
1.1). Difference between manufacturing cost and quotation:
As the size of LED displays increases, their manufacturing costs will also increase accordingly. This is mainly because large-size displays require more raw materials such as LED chips, circuit boards, frames, etc., as well as more complex production processes and longer production cycles. Therefore, under the same technical specifications, the quotation of large-size displays is usually higher than that of small-size displays.
For example, a P3 model, 500mm* 1000mm LED display may only cost a few hundred yuan, while the same P3 model, but a 2000mm* 4000mm display, may cost thousands of yuan or even more.
1.2). Challenges with large display sizes:
Material consumption: Large-size displays require more raw materials, which directly increases manufacturing costs.
Manufacturing difficulty: Large-size displays require higher precision and stricter quality control during the production process, which increases manufacturing difficulty and cost.
Transportation costs: Large-size displays are larger in size and weight, and transportation costs are relatively high. In addition, special packaging and protection measures are required during transportation to ensure that the display is not damaged.
2). Installation environment and customization requirements
2.1). Requirements for different installation environments:
Different installation environments (such as walls, columns, suspension, etc.) have different requirements for the structure and design of LED displays.
For example, a display screen installed on a wall needs to consider the load-bearing capacity and installation space of the wall; a display screen installed on a column needs to consider the stability and load-bearing capacity of the column. These special requirements will increase the design and manufacturing costs of the display.
2.2). Impact of customization requirements and special installation environment:
When customers have special customization requirements (such as special-shaped screens, curved screens, etc.), the manufacturing process of the display screen will become more complex, and the cost will increase accordingly.
At the same time, special installation environments (such as outdoor high altitude, high humidity, high temperature, etc.) will also increase the manufacturing and installation costs of the display because higher quality raw materials and more advanced technology are required to ensure the stability of the display. And durability.
For example, outdoor displays in high-altitude areas require special materials that are resistant to low temperatures and ultraviolet rays, and the prices of these special materials are usually higher. In addition, special installation structures (such as suspended installations) also require additional design and manufacturing costs.
3. Brand and after-sales service
- Brand premium
Well-known brands usually have higher market shares and consumer trust in the outdoor LED display market. This is mainly due to its advantages in product quality, technology research and development, and after-sales service. Well-known brands invest heavily in raw material procurement, production technology, quality control, etc., to ensure the stability and durability of their products.
At the same time, well-known brands often have advanced research and development capabilities and can continuously launch innovative and competitive new products. In terms of after-sales service, well-known brands usually provide comprehensive technical support and repair services to ensure that customers receive timely help and solutions during use.
Due to the advantages of well-known brands in product quality, technology research and development, and after-sales service, their LED display products often have higher quotations. This brand premium reflects consumers’ trust and recognition of well-known brand products, as well as the competitiveness and market position of well-known brands in the market.
Specifically, the brand premium may result in the price of well-known brands being a certain percentage higher than that of non-well-known brands for LED displays with the same technical specifications and sizes.
- After-sales service and warranty policy
The after-sales service content and warranty policies provided by different manufacturers vary. Generally speaking, high-quality after-sales service includes quick response, professional maintenance, technical support, regular inspections, etc. Warranty policies usually cover warranty period, warranty scope, warranty conditions, etc.
Perfect after-sales service and warranty policies support the LED display quotation. On the one hand, high-quality after-sales service can reduce the risk and cost of problems encountered by customers during use and improve customer satisfaction and loyalty.
On the other hand, a complete warranty policy can provide customers with more protection and confidence and reduce their worries. These advantages can increase the added value and competitiveness of products, thereby improving the product quotation to a certain extent.
Assume that there are two LED display manufacturers. Manufacturer A provides comprehensive after-sales service and a warranty period of up to three years, while manufacturer B only provides limited after-sales service and a one-year warranty period. With the same technical specifications and dimensions, Manufacturer A’s LED display price may be higher than Manufacturer B’s.
This is because manufacturer A has increased the added value and competitiveness of its products by providing high-quality after-sales service and warranty policies, thereby gaining higher market recognition and consumer trust.
