No one likes a dull, fuzzy picture. The crisper and cleaner the image, we value it more. With that in mind, we’d like to adjust the contrast on some points about YOLO TVs and the technology behind them.
As consumers, we often seek the clearest, most defined resolution a television can offer. Terms like 4K and full HD are familiar buzzwords that catch our attention. While these are perfectly fine for smaller home theaters, they take on a different significance when outfitting grander spaces with larger TVs utilizing LED video technology. The parameters for high-definition flat screens differ significantly from those for larger LED TVs. Here, we would like to clarify some common misconceptions and explain why YOLO TV is your ideal choice.
LED Viewing Distance – Chart
When customers ask for a 4K resolution wall, they often mean they want a wall that looks like 4K resolution. This is a reasonable request, as we all want the best picture quality with our outdoor tv. However, achieving a true 4K LED video wall would require a massive setup, such as a 49ftx28ft wall of 3.9mm panels or a 37ftx21ft wall of 2.9mm panels. This is not only space-consuming but also cost-prohibitive. YOLO TV helps customers understand what they truly need to achieve the best visual experience without unnecessary expense.
A key concept in LED video walls is pixel pitch, which refers to the distance between each LED pixel. Pixel pitch is measured in millimeters from the center of one pixel to the next. For instance, a panel with a 2.9mm pixel pitch means the center of one LED is 2.9mm from the next. Generally, the lower the pitch, the higher the resolution, but the determining factor here is distance. Not to worry, YOLO TV outdoor tv sizes are specifically designed and engineered for ideal viewing distances. With that said, from time to time a consumer may want a higher resolution screen, which we will be happy to accommodate. We offer ultra high indoor resolutions starting at 0.9mm pitch, and outdoor high-bright, resolutions starting at 2.5mm pitch.

Resolution is largely determined by the viewing distance. If someone views a 3.9mm panel wall from 3 or 6 feet, the image may appear pixelated. However, from 12 to 20 feet, the pixels blend seamlessly, creating a flawless image. YOLO TV emphasizes the importance of considering audience distance when choosing the appropriate pixel pitch for your outdoor tv. For instance, the optimal viewing range for a 3.9mm panel wall is 12-15 feet, while a 2.9mm panel wall looks best from 8-12 feet.
YOLO TV’s offer several advantages over traditional projection systems and regular outdoor TVs found in big box stores.
