1. Introduction
Choosing the suitable church LED display is essential to the whole experience of the church. As a supplier of LED displays for churches with many case studies, I understand the need for an LED display that meets the needs of the church while also providing quality visuals. In this blog, I’ll share some guidelines on how to select the best LED display to help take some of the guesswork out of choosing an LED display for your church.
2. Knowing Your Needs
First, we need to identify the specific needs of the church. The size of the church and the viewing distance of the audience are important factors in determining the type of LED display. We need to consider the seating arrangement of the church, the viewing distance of the audience, and whether we need the display to be used outdoors. Understanding these needs can help us narrow down our choices.
3. Audience Viewing Distance
In large churches, you need to ensure that the audience in the back rows can clearly see what is on the screen. If the church is smaller, a closer viewing screen may be required. Generally speaking, the further away your viewing distance is, the higher the size and resolution of the screen required.
Small churches (less than 100 people): the optimal viewing distance is about 5-10 metres, and you can choose a P3 or higher resolution church LED display.
Medium-sized church (100-300 people): the best viewing distance is about 10-20 metres, it is recommended to choose P2.5-P3 resolution church LED display.
Large church (more than 300 people): the best viewing distance is more than 20 metres, P2 or higher resolution church LED display is ideal.
4. Size of the Space
You need to calculate the space in the church to determine the right screen size. This is not complicated. The size of the church LED display needs to match the actual space of the church, too big or too small will affect the viewing experience.RTLED can also provide a great LED display solutions for your church.
5. Choosing the Right Resolution
Resolution is one of the important factors in choosing church LED display, choose the right resolution according to your usage scenario.
P2, P3, P4: These are the common church LED display resolutions, the smaller the number, the higher the resolution, the clearer the image. For smaller churches, P3 or higher resolution can provide clearer images.
Fine Pitch LED Display: If the church’s budget allows, small pitch LED display (e.g. P1.5 or P2) can provide a higher resolution and more detailed display, ideal for occasions where fine images or text are displayed.
Relationship between viewing distance and resolution: Generally speaking, the closer the viewing distance, the higher the resolution needs to be. This can be calculated according to the following formula:
Optimal Viewing Distance (meters) = Pixel Pitch (millimeters) x 1000 / 0.3
For example, the optimal viewing distance for a P3 display is approximately 10 meters.
6. Brightness and Contrast
Brightness and contrast are the key factors affecting the display effect of church LED display.
Brightness: There is usually low light inside the church, so it is important to choose church LED screen with moderate brightness. If the church has a lot of natural light, we may need a brighter display. Typically, indoor LED displays are between 800-1500 nits, while outdoor ones need to be much brighter.
Contrast: A high contrast church LED display provides more vibrant colours and deeper blacks, making the image more vivid. Choosing a screen with a high contrast ratio can enhance the viewer’s visual.
7. Method of Installation
Installation: Different installation methods (e.g. wall-mounted, suspended, etc.) can be selected according to the specific conditions of the church.
Wall-mounted installation: Suitable for churches with wide walls and high viewpoints for the audience. Wall-mounted installation can save floor space and provide a broader view.
Suspended Installation: If your church has high ceilings and needs to save floor space. Pendant mounting allows the screen to hang in the air, providing a more flexible viewing angle.
Floor-mounted installation: If the church does not have sufficient wall or ceiling support, this installation option is available. Floor mounting is easy to move and reposition.
8. Audio Integration
