LED Wall Price by Pixel Pitch: What Decides the Cost of Every Pitch from P1.2 to P10

LED wall price follows the pixel pitch: fine-pitch indoor P1.2 costs the most per sq ft and indoor P2.5, the pitch most PixelSpot walls are built with, the least, all installed from our factory in Bengaluru. The P2.5 LED wall page has its full specification and sizes. Every pitch on this page, from P1.2 fine pitch to P6 outdoor, is explained the same way: what drives its price, the viewing distance it suits and the resolution each size gives you; every wall is quoted exactly for your size, usually within minutes on WhatsApp. Every quote includes LED modules, receiving cards, power supplies, the cabinets and steel frame, cabling, transport, installation by our own crew, PxlOS cloud CMS, 5 per cent spare modules and the 2-year pixel-to-pixel onsite warranty. GST at 18 per cent is extra; the HSN and GST page explains the input credit.

What pixel pitch is, and why the number drives the price

Pixel pitch is the distance between the centres of two neighbouring LEDs, in millimetres. P2.5 means 2.5 mm. Halve the pitch and you do not double the LED count, you quadruple it: pixel density is (1,000 ÷ pitch) squared per square metre, so P2.5 carries 160,000 pixels per square metre (14,864 per sq ft) while P1.2 carries 640,000 (59,458 per sq ft). Four times the LEDs, four times the driver ICs, and a scan rate that lights each LED for a shorter slice of time, which needs better drivers to hold brightness. That is the whole reason a P1.2 wall costs so much more than a P2.5 wall of the same size.

Two naming details matter when you compare quotes. First, the round names hide the real pitch: in the standard 320 x 160 mm module family, "P1.2" is 1.25 mm, "P1.5" is 1.53 mm and "P1.8" is 1.86 mm, so two vendors quoting "P1.8" may be quoting slightly different pixel counts. Second, the module resolution tells you the truth: a 320 x 160 mm module carries 128 x 64 pixels at P2.5, 160 x 80 at P2.0, 172 x 86 at P1.86, 208 x 104 at P1.53 and 256 x 128 at P1.25. Ask for the module resolution on every quote and the pitch cannot be fudged.

The viewing-distance rule that picks your pitch

The minimum comfortable viewing distance in metres is roughly the pitch number, and the picture looks best from about twice that. P2.5 is comfortable from 2.5 m and ideal from 5 m; P1.8 from 1.8 m and ideal from 3.5 m; outdoor P4 from 4 m and ideal from 8 m. Closer than the minimum and you can see individual LED dots; much further and you paid for pixels nobody can resolve. Measure where the nearest regular viewer stands, not the room size. A jewellery counter with customers leaning in wants P1.8; a showroom wall seen from the floor wants P2.5; a shopfront read from the pavement wants outdoor P4 or, where people read a menu from 3 to 5 m as at Acai Theory in Indiranagar, outdoor P2.5. The viewing distance calculator has the full table.

Indoor LED wall price by pixel pitch

These are the indoor pitches PixelSpot builds and stocks spares for in Bengaluru. Every quote is installed (modules, cabinet, power, cabling, transport and installation) with the Huidu controller sized for that wall, before GST. Walls are built from whole 640 x 480 mm cabinets, so 8x4 ft is 35.3 sq ft as built, 10x6 ft is 66.1 sq ft and 12x8 ft is 105.8 sq ft. Front-service die-cast cabinets, a NovaStar-based system and curved or ceiling-hung frames are quoted on top; a screen behind street-facing glass is quoted as an outdoor-grade panel.

P1.8 and P2.0 sit close in price. If a quote for "P2" lands above or below a quote for P1.8, check the module resolution before assuming anything: 160 x 80 pixels is P2.0, 172 x 86 is P1.86.

Indoor specification by pitch

Refresh rate is 3,840 Hz on current-generation modules at every one of these pitches; 1,920 Hz panels are cheaper and flicker on phone cameras, which matters for any wall that will be filmed. Grey scale of 14-bit or better and a factory colour temperature of 6,500 K are the other two lines to look for on the spec sheet.

Why does the indoor range stop at P2.5?

P2.5 is the coarsest indoor pitch PixelSpot sells, and it is also the answer for a large hall or an auditorium where the audience sits far back: it stays sharp from 2.5 m, and once the cabinet, frame, controller, power supplies, cabling and two days of crew are counted, a coarser indoor module would save little. P3 and every coarser pitch on this page are outdoor products. Cheap indoor P4 quotes you may see elsewhere are almost always outdoor-grade P4 modules run indoors: too bright even at minimum, coarse from 3 m, and with only 80 x 40 pixels per module a 10x6 ft wall comes to 762 x 457 pixels, below the resolution of a 2005 desktop monitor.

Resolution you get at each size (indoor)

Wall width in millimetres divided by the pitch gives pixels across. Real walls round to whole modules and cabinets, so the built figure is within one module of these. Full HD content is 1,920 x 1,080; anything above roughly 1,200 pixels wide shows a Full HD video without visible softening from 2.5 m.

The practical reading: an 8x4 ft P2.5 wall at 975 pixels wide is fine for video, logos and menus but tight for a spreadsheet; the same 8x4 in P1.8 gives 1,310 pixels and reads like a large monitor. At 12x8 ft, P2.5 already passes 1,400 pixels wide and finer pitch buys nothing unless the front row is inside 2.5 m. That is the logic behind the corporate cafeteria wall we built in Bengaluru: the pitch was chosen from the nearest seat, not from a resolution target.

Outdoor LED wall price by pixel pitch

Outdoor modules are IP65-sealed on the front, IP54 at the rear, run at up to 4,500 nits for Bengaluru daylight and dim automatically at night. Cabinets are 960 x 960 mm or 1,280 x 960 mm rather than the indoor 640 x 480 mm die-cast, which is why outdoor walls are quoted in slightly coarser size steps. Every quote is installed, with the controller, before GST. Both assume a wall-mounted or fascia install; a freestanding pole or gantry structure and any municipal permission drawings are separate lines.

P5, P6, P8 and P10 are for LED hoardings of about 200 sq ft and more, read from 12 to 30 m; a 10x6 ft P10 wall is only 304 x 182 pixels, which cannot draw a logo cleanly. Below 100 sq ft outdoors we quote P4, or P3 where people read from 3 to 6 m: see the P3 LED wall price and P4 LED wall price pages, and the outdoor LED display in Bangalore page for the range. Outdoor P2.5, as used on the Acai Theory shopfront, is the highest-priced outdoor pitch we build. Outdoor cabinets are larger, so the as-built area differs slightly by pitch (a 10x6 ft P6 wall is 63.5 sq ft).

Outdoor specification by pitch

Outdoor refresh is 1,920 to 3,840 Hz depending on the driver IC; specify 3,840 Hz for any facade that will appear in reels or on television. Every outdoor module here runs at up to 4,500 nits, which reads in Bengaluru daylight; for a west-facing wall in harsh afternoon sun, the site survey checks the angle and shading before the spec is fixed. The LED wall brightness chart covers the semi-outdoor case of a screen behind street-facing glass, which calls for an outdoor-grade panel, quoted from the outdoor range above, rather than an indoor one.

P1.8 vs P2.5: the upgrade question we get most

Nearly every indoor buyer in Bengaluru ends up choosing between these two, so here they are side by side on a 10x6 ft wall.

P1.8 costs noticeably more on a 10x6 ft wall. From 3.5 m the two are indistinguishable; from 1.5 m the P2.5 shows its dot structure and small fonts break up. So the decision is a tape-measure job: if anyone regularly stands or sits inside 2 m of the wall, or the content is text-dense, pay for P1.8. The Amukti store entrance in a Bengaluru mall is the P1.8 case, with shoppers passing at 1 to 3 m and fabric detail to show; a showroom feature wall seen from the floor is the P2.5 case. Below P1.8, P1.5 and P1.2 are for people sitting at a table in front of the screen, which is a control room or boardroom, not a retail space. The control room LED wall sizing guide picks the pitch from the operator's desk.

Specs that move the price besides pitch

• Brightness in nits. Indoor panels go up to 600 nits and run at 30 to 50 per cent, which suits lobbies, boardrooms and showrooms. A screen behind street-facing glass or in a semi-outdoor spot needs an outdoor-grade panel instead; outdoor IP65 panels, up to 4,500 nits, are a different module and cabinet and are quoted from the outdoor range.
• Cabinet and service access. Indoor 640 x 480 mm die-cast aluminium cabinets with front-service magnetic modules cost a little more per sq ft than rear-service steel, and save a lot when the wall sits flush against a building wall with no rear access, which is most Bengaluru offices and shopfronts.
• Controller. A Huidu system is the entry price; a NovaStar sending card and receiving cards cost more per cabinet. Both are on our list, and the controller model is named on every PixelSpot quote so it can be compared like for like.
• Refresh and grey scale. 3,840 Hz and 14-bit or better is the current standard; a 1,920 Hz, 12-bit panel is cheaper and looks the same to the eye until a camera or a dark scene is involved.
• Power. Finer pitch draws more per sq ft at peak, so P1.5 and P1.2 walls need a larger dedicated circuit and a stabiliser is strongly advised. The power consumption guide has the figures by pitch. The cheap LED wall fire-safety checklist explains what a low quote usually saves on behind the modules: power supplies, cables and earthing.
• Frame and mounting. Wall-mounted on a flat surface is the base price. Curved, ceiling-hung, portrait pillars and freestanding structures add fabrication time, quoted after the free site survey.

Installed price in Bengaluru and across Karnataka

PixelSpot has built LED walls at its own Bengaluru factory since 2022, and the crew that assembles and burn-in tests your wall is the crew that installs it; nothing is subcontracted. Within Bengaluru the site survey and 3D mockup are free, delivery and installation are included in the price, and service response is within 24 hours. Across the rest of Karnataka, from Mysuru and Mangaluru to Hubballi, Belagavi and Kalaburagi, the pricing is unchanged; the quote adds freight and crew travel as separate lines so you can see them. Hosur and Krishnagiri, 40 to 90 km from the factory, are served as Bengaluru neighbours. See the Bengaluru page and the Karnataka districts page for how a project runs in each.

How to get an exact price for your pitch and size

1. Measure the wall opening and the distance to the nearest regular viewer. That fixes the pitch.
2. Get the exact price on the quote page, usually within minutes, or WhatsApp the size, indoor or outdoor, and a photo of the wall to +91 72048 08334.
3. Book the free survey. We confirm the pitch on site, check power and access, and send a 3D mockup of the wall in your actual space with a fixed quotation.

The LED wall price guide covers what is included in more depth, and the size pages explain what decides the price of 8x4 ft, 10x6 ft and 12x8 ft walls. If the wall is for a few events a year rather than daily use, the rent vs buy break-even guide shows where the line falls.
