1. What is an LED screen?

An LED screen is a high-brightness display made from thousands of tiny light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that produce vibrant visuals, even in direct sunlight. Unlike LCD TVs, LED screens don’t need a backlight — they emit their own light, making them perfect for large-scale displays.

​

2. What’s the difference between an LED screen and an LED TV?

Consumer LED TVs are designed for home viewing and limited use. LED screens from Power Screens are industrial-grade, built to run 24/7, handle outdoor conditions, and scale up to massive custom sizes.

They also:

• Come in modular cabinets for easy transport and seamless installation

• Are CMS-compatible for remote content scheduling

• Have no bezels, so they create one large, seamless image
   

3. How do LED screens work?

LED screens use red, green, and blue diodes to form pixels. These pixels are spaced out based on pixel pitch (like P4, P6, etc). The smaller the pitch, the better the resolution, especially at close range. Screens are made of cabinets that lock together into a complete display.
 

4. What is pixel pitch, and why does it matter?

Pixel pitch is the distance (in mm) between two pixels.

• Smaller pitch (e.g. P2.5) = higher resolution = better for short viewing distances

• Larger pitch (e.g. P10) = best for long-distance viewing
   

5. What size LED screen do I need?

It depends on your audience’s distance, screen location, and use case. Since LED screens are modular, we can build any size you need — from a shop window screen to a 10m-wide outdoor billboard.

7. What’s the difference between LED screens and LED video walls?

"LED video wall" is an older term for tiled displays using early-gen panels. Today’s modern LED screens are far superior — brighter, bezel-free, easier to maintain, and scalable to any size or shape.
 

8. Can LED screens run 24/7?

Yes. Our screens are designed for continuous use, day and night. Ideal for retail, control rooms, and advertising.
 

9. Can I control my LED screen remotely?

Yes — our screens work with CMS (Content Management Software), so you can update and schedule your content from anywhere.
