Understand the system
before comparing proposals.
Plain-English guidance for viewing, content, controls, site readiness, lifecycle cost and project comparison. You do not need to learn the industry before asking for help.
Compare LED, LCD and fixed-message signs
Choose a display class around distance, content, environment, update frequency, camera use and lifecycle—not novelty.
Open guide →02Pixel pitch and viewing distance
A smaller pixel pitch is not automatically better; it should match the closest important viewer, content and budget.
Open guide →03Indoor versus outdoor LED
Brightness is only one difference. Weather, heat, structure, ingress protection, glare, access and permitting change the system.
Open guide →04LED site readiness and permitting
A good display proposal starts with the property, structure, utilities, access and local rules.
Open guide →05Content controls, connectivity and security
Decide who can publish what, when, and what happens when the connection or a device fails.
Open guide →06LED total cost of ownership
Compare installed scope, operating cost, support and downtime exposure over the same planning period.
Open guide →07Readable LED content planning
The display creates value only when messages are readable, relevant, current and consistently managed.
Open guide →08LED discovery checklist
Use this short checklist before requesting system proposals so vendors answer the same project.
Open guide →Bring the location—not a finished specification.
A photo, address, audience, rough display area, typical content and desired timing are enough to begin.
