Pixel Pitch
LED Sign Pixel-Pitch
The pitch—or resolution—of an LED sign refers to the distance, in millimeters, from the center of one pixel to the next. For instance, a sign with a 15mm pitch has fifteen millimeters between each pixel. This measurement directly affects the resolution, clarity, and visibility of the sign content.
The smaller the pitch, the more LEDs are packed into each square foot, allowing for higher resolution and sharper detail. A 15mm pitch LED sign will display text, lines, and images more clearly than a sign of the same size with a wider pixel pitch.
With our latest G4 product line, we offer modern pixel pitches of 15mm, 9mm, 6mm, and 4mm, enabling a tailored experience based on your content and viewing distance.
-
For detailed graphics, logos, or photo-realistic images, a 9mm, 6mm, or 4mm pitch is ideal for producing crisp and vibrant visuals.
-
For basic text-based messages or signs viewed from a greater distance (100 feet or more), a 15mm pitch provides an excellent balance of performance and value.

Watch & Learn
As illustrated in this video, our LED displays now come in four advanced pixel pitch options. The size, location, intended use, and budget of your new LED marquee will help determine which pitch—or resolution—is the best fit for your project.
With our next-generation G4 product line, you can choose from 15mm, 9mm, 6mm, or 4mm pitch options—each designed to meet specific visibility and content needs.
15mm – Standard Resolution
Ideal for schools looking for a cost-effective way to go digital while still maintaining quality visuals. The 15mm pitch works best for basic graphics, text, and announcements, and is suitable for viewing distances of 66 feet and beyond. This is our most budget-friendly option, perfect for signs with simple messaging and minimal image requirements.
- 9mm – Advanced Resolution
A great mid-point choice for schools that want to showcase clearer images, animations, and promotional content without stretching the budget. Best suited for viewing distances of 50 feet and beyond, 9mm resolution offers sharper visuals while remaining highly cost-effective.
- 6mm – High Resolution
For schools that prioritize vivid images, video clips, and premium content, 6mm pitch delivers crisp, high-resolution results. With a recommended viewing distance of 33 feet and beyond, this option is ideal for locations where viewers are closer to the sign, such as campuses with frequent pedestrian or slow vehicle traffic.
- 4mm – Ultra-High Resolution
Our most advanced option, the 4mm pitch provides exceptional image clarity, perfect for high-end installations or locations with close-up viewing. Best viewed from 20 feet and beyond, it’s ideal for campuses with a strong emphasis on branding, community engagement, and showcasing video or dynamic graphics.
