LED Signs come in various "resolutions" which helps determine how well your graphics look on the sign. For instance, a 34mm pitch means that the distance between the center of each pixel is 34mm. These are actually very low res LED signs and are used predominantly for DOT highway informational signs where the viewing distance is typically 150 feet or more.
The most common resolution configurations for outdoor color LED signs is 16mm to 20mm. The 20mm signs offer great viewing resolution from 100 feet or more away. The 16mm signs are great for 75 feet or more away. If your customer will view your sign from 40 to 60 feet away you'll want to consider a 12mm or 14mm outdoor digital sign for optimal viewing results.
Ask your sign company or sales rep for a demo of different resolutions before making your decision. This is a big investment so it's important to match your expectations with what you think your potential customer will be seeing....

Apple, Dell, HP, Blackberry, Vizio - all products that are manufactured in the Shenzhen region of China - the same area that most LED message signs are manufactured. So why can't you just "order" your LED sign directly from China on the internet? It's very simple - YOU WILL GET BURNED.
Yes, all Dell laptops are manufactured in China but would you order a laptop from China - site unseen? Probably not.
That's the same with your LED message sign. ALL LED signs come from China - the same way all televisions sets come from China. The differences are the components that go into the sign and the support/spare parts that come with the sign.

LED outdoor digital signs are the most effective means of advertising/promotion available to a retail/storefront establishment and it's important to understand that the LEDs are actually a consumable. In other words, the LED lamps tend to dim out over time and since an LED digital sign is good for 80,000 - 100,000 hours, there are some tricks that we use to extend the useful life of the sign.
First, set the scheduler in your LED control software for the sign to shut off from 12:00 midnight until 6:00 am. This will help increase the effective life of the sign from 7 years to 10 years.
Secondly, use the auto dimmer capability of your sign. Today's LED digital sign is meant to be clearly seen during the middle of the day so they are extremely bright. By using the auto dimmer to reduce the brightness as night falls you will extend the life of your sign by several years.
