When choosing the dot pitch specification of the LED display, there is no absolute "good" or "bad", because different dot pitch specifications are suitable for different application scenarios and needs. The choice of dot pitch mainly depends on the following factors:

1. Viewing distance

Close-up viewing: If the LED display is mainly used for close-up viewing, such as indoor places such as conference rooms and TV stations, then a smaller dot pitch (such as P1, P1.5, P2, etc.) will be more suitable. 

Because the smaller the dot pitch, the more pixels per unit area, the higher the resolution and clarity of the image, which can meet the requirements for details when viewed at close range.

Long-distance viewing: If the LED display is mainly used for long-distance viewing, such as outdoor billboards, large screens in stadiums, etc., then a larger dot pitch (such as P8, P10, etc.) may be more suitable. Because under large-area and long-distance viewing conditions, a smaller dot pitch may cause the image details to be too dense and difficult to recognize.

2. Budget considerations

The smaller the dot pitch, the more pixels and higher pixel density are required, which usually leads to an increase in the cost of the LED display. Therefore, when choosing the dot pitch, the budget factor also needs to be considered. In the case of limited budget, you can choose a dot pitch specification with high cost performance.

3. Display effect requirements

For application scenarios that need to present high-definition, high-color saturation and high-contrast images and video content, such as TV live broadcasts and stage performances, a smaller dot pitch specification is usually selected.

For application scenarios that mainly display simple content such as text and pictures, such as road signs and commercial advertisements, the dot pitch requirements can be appropriately relaxed to save costs.

4. Environmental factors

Different environmental factors will also affect the choice of dot pitch. For example, in a dark indoor environment, a smaller dot pitch can present a more delicate image; while in a strong outdoor environment, a larger dot pitch can ensure that the image is still clearly visible when viewed from a distance.

In summary, the denser the dot pitch, the better. When choosing the dot pitch specification of the LED display, it is necessary to comprehensively consider multiple factors such as the actual application scenario, viewing distance, budget considerations, and display effect requirements. Only by choosing the dot pitch specification that best suits your needs can you ensure that the display effect and cost performance of the LED display are optimal.

In addition, with the continuous development of technology, the dot pitch specifications of LED displays are also constantly updated and optimized. 

Therefore, when choosing, you also need to pay attention to the latest technological developments and market trends in order to choose products with better performance and more reasonable prices.

No, the denser the better. If it is too sparse, it is hard to see clearly at a close distance. 

For banners, 10mm is more suitable. Some stores want to save money and make a large banner, using a 30mm pixel pitch unit board, but the road is so narrow that pedestrians on the opposite side will see that the words are too big and have to stop and look carefully to understand the content, which is counterproductive.
