How to Choose an LED Video Wall

The biggest decision for an LED video wall is pixel pitch, which depends on how close people will stand. This guide walks through pixel pitch, indoor versus outdoor, COB and GOB, brightness and sizing.

LED video wall buying guide

Start with pixel pitch and viewing distance.

To choose an LED video wall, start with pixel pitch, the distance between adjacent LEDs in millimetres, and match it to how close people will stand: a finer pitch for close viewing such as control rooms and boardrooms, and a larger pitch for big rooms and outdoor sites seen from a distance. Then decide indoor or outdoor, choose COB or GOB packaging for the durability you need, and size the wall for the resolution you want. PeopleLink builds its Active LED range as one OEM, from sub-millimetre fine-pitch COB to rugged outdoor panels.

Pixel pitch

Finer pitch for close viewing; larger pitch for distance. The key resolution decision.

Viewing distance

How close people stand sets the minimum pixel pitch you need.

Indoor or outdoor

Outdoor sites need higher brightness and weather-resistant panels.

COB or GOB

COB suits very fine pitches; GOB adds a protective layer for durability.

Brightness

Match brightness to ambient light so the wall stays readable.

Wall size and resolution

Size the wall and panel count for the total resolution you want.

Match pixel pitch to viewing distance. A finer pitch packs more pixels for sharp close viewing, suited to control rooms and boardrooms, while a larger pitch is fine for big rooms and outdoor sites seen from a distance. PeopleLink offers a range from sub-millimetre fine-pitch COB to larger outdoor pitches.

COB, or chip-on-board, packages the LED chips directly onto the board for a smooth, durable surface that suits very fine pitches. GOB, or glue-on-board, adds a protective resin layer for better resistance to knocks, moisture and dust. PeopleLink offers both within the Active LED range.

Yes. The Active LED range includes outdoor panels built for higher brightness and resistance to the elements, suitable for facades, entrances and large outdoor venues, alongside indoor fine-pitch walls.

Size the wall to the space and the resolution you want, since the total resolution comes from the panel count and the pixel pitch. PeopleLink can recommend a wall size, pixel pitch and processing for your site.
