Brightness is measured in nits (candela per square metre). Choosing too few makes the wall unreadable in daylight; choosing too many wastes money and power and hurts eyes at night. These are the numbers PixelSpot specifies in Bengaluru.
How many nits
| Location | Nits needed | Typical PixelSpot panel |
|---|---|---|
| Indoor, controlled lighting (boardroom, auditorium) | 500 to 800 | 800 nits, run at 30 to 50% |
| Indoor, bright lobby or showroom with glass front | 800 to 1,200 | 1,000 to 1,200 nits |
| Behind a window facing the street | 2,500 to 3,500 | 3,000 nits semi-outdoor |
| Outdoor, shaded or north-facing | 3,500 to 5,000 | 5,000 nits |
| Outdoor, direct sun, west-facing | 5,500 to 6,500 | 6,000 to 6,500 nits |
Why not just buy the brightest
- Power: a 6,000-nit panel draws two to three times the power of a 1,000-nit panel at full output.
- Night glare: outdoor walls above 500 nits after dark are blinding and, in many Bengaluru zones, draw complaints. Auto-dimming is mandatory on our outdoor walls.
- Colour depth: an indoor panel run at 100% loses greyscale detail in dark scenes; running a 1,000-nit panel at 40% gives better blacks than a 600-nit panel at 100%.
- Lifespan: heat rises with brightness; see the lifespan guide.
Other specs that matter as much as nits
- Contrast ratio: 4,000:1 and above for indoor, achieved with black-face LEDs and matte masks.
- Refresh rate: 3,840 Hz so phone cameras and broadcast cameras do not show scan lines. Essential for jewellery, events and studios.
- Greyscale: 14 to 16 bit for smooth gradients in video.
- Viewing angle: 140° to 160° horizontal so side tables and side aisles still see a true image.
Price effect
Moving from indoor 1,000 nits to semi-outdoor 3,000 nits adds roughly 15 to 25 per cent per sq ft at the same pitch; full outdoor IP65 5,000+ nit panels are a different product line, priced on the price guide.
