    We have learned some basic knowledge of smart poster screen, so what does P3 mean?

    How to choose P3 LED poster display?

    Faced with a variety of brands and parameter configurations on the market, how to  choose them accurately ?

     Clarify the usage scenario:

    Indoor scenes (such as shopping malls, exhibition halls, conference rooms)

    • Brightness requirements: 800-1200cd/㎡ is enough to avoid visual fatigue caused by excessive brightness.
    • Resolution: Close-up viewing (1-3 meters) requires P3 (3mm spacing) and above accuracy.
    • Additional functions: optional touch interaction or face recognition to enhance the interactive experience.

    Semi-outdoor/outdoor scenes (such as windows, bus stops, building exterior walls)

    • Brightness requirements: 2500-5000cd/㎡, and support automatic light adjustment.
    • Protection level: If used outdoors, you need to choose IP65 or above waterproof and dustproof, and the cabinet material is preferably die-cast aluminum.
    • Heat dissipation design: Equipped with independent cooling fans or air conditioning systems to adapt to high temperature environments.

    Size and resolution:

    Best viewing distance (meter) = pixel pitch (mm) × 2

    For example, the best viewing distance of the P3 screen is 3×2=6 meters, which is suitable for small and medium-sized spaces.

    Resolution matching principle:

    If playing 4K content (3840×2160), the screen size is recommended to be ≥5㎡ (about 2.2m×2.2m).

    Avoid stretching low-resolution materials, otherwise mosaics will appear.

    Refresh rate:

    • 1920Hz: Meets static graphics and ordinary video playback, cost-effective choice.
    • ≥3840Hz: for dynamic scenes such as sports events, high-speed advertising, no ghosting.

    Test method:

    Aim the mobile phone camera at the screen. If black scan lines appear, the refresh rate is insufficient.

    Driver IC and control system

    • High-end options: MBI Electronics, support 16-bit grayscale, smooth color transition.
    • Economical: Conventional Chinese medium-sized chips, but low-gray color cast problems may occur.

    Control system functions:

    • Essential functions: remote batch management, split-screen playback, timed power on and off.
    • Value-added functions: AI traffic statistics, ambient brightness adaptation, automatic fault alarm.

    Cabinet design and maintenance cost

    Here is the requested content presented in an English table format:

    Cabinet Type Advantages Disadvantages Suitable Scenarios
    Die-cast Aluminum cabinet Good heat dissipation, long lifespan High cost (+15%-20%) Long-term use
    Carbon Fiber cabinet Ultra-thin (only 20mm), lightweight Weak protective performance Indoor high-end exhibition halls
    Front Maintenance Design Saves maintenance space Lower module load-bearing capacity narrow space

    Power supply and energy consumption:

    Power supply configuration recommendation:

    • Power per square meter: P3 screen is about 300-500W (adjusted according to brightness).
    • Outdoor poster need to be equipped with lightning protection modules and dual power supply redundancy to reduce the risk of downtime.

    Energy-saving technology:

    • Dynamic brightness adjustment: automatically adjust according to ambient light, saving more than 20~30% of electricity.
    • Standby power consumption: The power consumption of high-quality power supply is <5W/㎡ when in standby.

    Brand and service:

    After-sales comparison:

     

    Service Item First-line Brands (e.g., Sight LED) Small and Medium-sized Brands
    Warranty Period 1-3 years (including lamp beads) 1years (modules only)
