When it comes to creating eye-catching digital billboards and LED signs,more pixels mean better resolution—and better results.While all three series—Spotlight, Beacon, and Beacon HD—can be configured in the same physical size, such as a4x8 sign, the number of pixels determines the detail and clarity of your content.
Think of pixels as the canvas for your design. With higher pixel density, your sign has the ability to display more detailed images, finer text, and additional content without losing clarity or readability. For example:
Striking a Balance Between Clarity and Impact
While higher resolution gives you more creative freedom,less is often morein outdoor advertising—especially when targeting drivers. The added pixels allow for visually stunning content, but your message should remain concise and easy to understand in a few seconds.
The Advantage of Higher Resolution
Having a higher pixel count on the same size sign gives you an undeniable edge. Whether you’re showcasing product details, a promotional message, or your brand identity, the enhanced resolution ensures your ad is not only seen but remembered.
Invest in the Resolution That Drives Results
With more pixels, your sign becomes a powerful tool to create convincing, professional ads that capture attention and encourage action. The choice is clear—enhanced resolution means enhanced opportunities to connect with your audience.
With brightness levels ranging from7,000 to 10,000 NITS, every LED sign in our lineup is capable of standing out, even under direct sunlight. However, the optimal brightness for your sign depends on its location and how sunlight interacts with the screen. At LED Sign City, we ensure you get theright balance of brightness and resolutionto achieve your desired results.
It’s easy to focus on resolution alone, believing that higher resolution always means better results. While resolution is important,brightness and resolution work togetherto create impactful visuals. Here’s what to consider:
For large digital billboards, resolution often takes a back seat to size and brightness. Most highway billboards are built using theSpotlight Series (P10)because at larger sizes, paying extra for additional pixels doesn’t yield significant benefits.
Customers often describe the signs they love as “vibrant” or “eye-catching,” admiring how thecolors popand the screen grabs attention—even from a distance. This is where brightness plays a key role:
At LED Sign City, we’re not here to oversell you on specifications you don’t need. Instead, we work with you to identify the right combination ofbrightness, resolution, and sizeto achieve your desired outcome. Whether it’s aSpotlight Series billboarddesigned for maximum visibility or a high-resolutionBeacon HD Series signfor closer audiences, we’ll guide you to the solution that gets results without unnecessary costs.

Choosing the Right LED Sign for Your Use Case
Selecting the right LED sign depends on your specific needs, such as viewing distance, brightness, and the size of the display. To make it simple, we’ve outlined three key use cases—highway billboards, mid-sized storefronts, and close-range signage—along with the recommended series and their ideal applications.

TheSpotlight Seriesis designed for this purpose, offering exceptional brightness of up to10,000 NITS in the PRO modelto ensure visibility even under direct sunlight. With a pixel pitch ofP10, the Spotlight Series is optimized for larger signs, where added size compensates for lower resolution.

- Recommended Series:Beacon HD Series
- Ideal Sizes:2x3 to 6x12 feet
- Viewing Distance:60 feet or more
