What is the typical pixel pitch for a stadium LED screen?
More and more stadiums have installed audio-visual system integration projects with LED screens as the core. These comprehensive audio-visual system integration solutions not only bring unparalleled event experience to the audience but also increase commercial benefits for the event operators.
The pixel pitch is the distance between two adjacent pixels on the LED screen. The smaller the pixel pitch, the closer the distance between pixels, and the clearer the image and video will be.

How pixel pitch affects the image quality of stadium LED screen?
There are countless self-illuminating pixels on the LED screen, and these pixels together form a complete image. Suppose there are 10,000 pixels on a square LED display panel, then the entire screen will be composed of these 10,000 pixels, and the number of pixels in a single row or column is 100. If we change the total number of pixels on the LED display panel to 2500, then the number of pixels on a single row or column becomes 50. This means that the number of pixels per unit area has become a quarter of the original, so the picture quality will become blurred.
Through the above examples, we can understand that the more and denser the pixels on the LED display panel, the clearer the picture. The smaller the pixel pitch, the less likely a single pixel is visible to the naked eye
What is the typical pixel pitch of a stadium LED screen?
Generally speaking, the typical pixel pitch of stadium LED screen is 3mm-6mm, that is to say, the distance between the centers of two adjacent pixels is 3mm-6mm.
However, not all stadium LED screen pixel pitches are within this value range, and there are many reasons why the LED screen pixel pitch deployed in some stadiums is not within this range.
It is worth mentioning that it is not that the LED screen pixel pitch of some gymnasiums is greater than this value, which will definitely cause the screen picture to be unclear.
Factors Affecting the Pixel Pitch of Stadium LED Screen
-
The distance between the audience and the stadium LED screen
The farther the distance between the audience and the LED screen, the smaller the pixel pitch on the LED screen should be to ensure the clarity of the picture.
-
The size of the stadium
There is a significant difference in the size of the football field and the NBA stadium. In theory, the LED screen pixel pitch of the football field is smaller than the LED screen pixel pitch of the NBA stadium.
-
The budget for the audio-visual integrated system of the stadium
Although the price of the LED screen is constantly decreasing, it is still a lot of money. If the overall budget is not high, then it is likely to choose an LED screen with average definition, which means that the pixel pitch of the modified LED screen will be slightly larger.
-
Construction time of the audio-visual integrated system in the gymnasium
The early LED screen was limited by technical means and could not deal with the spacing between pixels well. Until recent years, technological breakthroughs have made it possible to reduce the pixel pitch of LED screen panels.
Suggestions when choosing LED screens for gymnasiums
Usually, we will determine the size of the pixel pitch according to the size of the overall LED screen that the stadium needs to deploy. The following are some purchasing experiences of Galaxyav based on years of stadium audio-visual system integration projects
- 1. The screen size is between 10-20 feet, and the pixel pitch of the LED screen is recommended to be 10mm
- 2. The screen size is between 20-30 feet, and the pixel pitch of the LED screen is recommended to be 8mm
- 3. The screen size is between 30-40 feet, and the pixel pitch of the LED screen is recommended to be 6mm
- 4. The screen size is between 40-50 feet, and the pixel pitch of the LED screen is recommended to be 5mm
- 5. If the screen size is above 50 feet, it is recommended that the pixel pitch of the LED screen be less than 4mm
What is the difference between pixel pitch and LED screen resolution?
Pixel pitch and LED screen resolution are two completely different concepts. Pixel pitch refers to the center distance between two adjacent light-emitting pixels on the LED screen panel.
Resolution refers to the number of light-emitting pixels on a single LED screen panel. The higher the resolution, the more light-emitting pixels that can be accommodated on the LED screen, and the smaller the pixel pitch, the clearer the image quality that can be presented on the LED screen.
What are the benefits of using small pixel pitch LED screens in stadiums?
-
Clearer image
Most of the lighting conditions of outdoor stadiums will affect the image clarity of the LED screen. The LED screen with smaller pixel pitch has more obvious self-illumination brightness, which can display the wonderful picture of the game more clearly. -
Wider viewing angle
The small-pitch LED screen can allow viewers from more angles to see the content on the LED screen clearly. Of course, the viewing effect of the circular LED video wall will be even better. -
Longer service life
Usually, the service life of a large-pitch LED screen is about 80,000 hours, while the service life of small-pitch LED screen is more than 100,000 hours. The overall service life should be increased by more than 25%. -
Lower maintenance costs
Most of the small-pitch LED screens currently use front-end replacement technology. That is to say, when a certain LED display panel fails and cannot be used, it can be replaced directly at the front of the screen without large-scale removal and replacement from the back of the screen. Reduce maintenance costs as much as possible.
Conclusion
LED screen with small pixel pitch is being welcomed by more and more large stadiums. The advantages in picture clarity, wide viewing angle, longer service life and lower maintenance cost make it the first choice for stadium audio visual solution. At present, the LED screen pixel pitch used in most gymnasiums is between 3mm and 6mm. With the improvement of LED screen production technology and cost reduction, the stadium will also deploy LED screens with smaller pixel pitches.
