Why do LED display prices vary so much?

If you’ve been exploring options for LED screens, you’ve probably noticed a wide range of prices—from budget-friendly to premium. But what exactly determines these differences?

What’s the key factors that influence LED Display Pricing?

1️⃣ Pixel Pitch
The pixel pitch defines how sharp and clear the display will look. A smaller pitch (like P1.5, P2.5) offers high resolution and is perfect for close-up viewing, but it also costs more because it uses more LEDs per square meter. Larger pixel pitches (like P6, P10) reduce cost but are better suited for long-distance viewing.

2️⃣ Screen Size and Resolution
A bigger screen naturally requires more materials and components, raising costs. Higher resolution also means more pixel density and processing power, which contributes to a higher price tag.

3️⃣ Brightness and Outdoor Durability
Outdoor LED screens must be much brighter than indoor ones to remain visible in daylight. They also need to be weatherproof and durable against wind, rain, and UV exposure. These requirements make outdoor LED screens more expensive.

4️⃣ Cabinet Material and Build Quality
Premium cabinets made from die-cast aluminum provide better heat dissipation, lightweight design, and long-lasting durability. In contrast, iron cabinets are heavier and may offer less protection, but they lower the cost.

5️⃣ Control System and Features
Advanced LED control systems support real-time content updates, seamless playback, and integration with external devices. Features like remote control, interactive content, and AI-powered playback can increase costs but greatly enhance functionality.

6️⃣ Customization and Installation Complexity
Do you need a unique screen shape, a curved display, or custom sizing? Customization adds complexity to design and manufacturing, which impacts pricing. Installation in challenging locations (e.g., high-rise buildings or unique structures) can also add labor costs.
