An LED billboard truck turns a moving vehicle into an advertising platform, but its screen must suit the campaign rather than simply offer the highest resolution.
Choosing the right configuration helps advertisers deliver effective messages while keeping the display practical for its intended use.
Understanding the main selection criteria can help buyers make a more informed decision before requesting a quotation.
Welke invloed heeft de kijkafstand op de pixelafstand?
Understand Pixel Pitch
Pixel pitch is the distance between the centers of adjacent pixels, measured in millimeters. A smaller pitch provides higher pixel density and supports finer image details, while a larger pitch can suit audiences viewing the screen from farther away.
De mobile truck display range includes P4, P5, P6, P8, and P10 configurations for different viewing requirements.

Minimum viewing distance is a reference for initial selection rather than a guarantee of optimal image quality. Actual viewing comfort also depends on content design, viewing angle, ambient light, and audience movement.
Which Pixel Pitch Fits Different Advertising Scenarios?
Select Pitch for Close Range Events
P4 and P5 are worth considering for street promotions, product launches, and events where viewers may stand close to the vehicle. Their higher pixel densities help preserve small text, logos, and detailed graphics.
If the screen will also appear in promotional videos, test the actual content under the intended recording conditions before confirming the specification.
Choose Pitch for Roadside Advertising
P6 and P8 can suit public events and roadside campaigns where audiences generally view the display from greater distances. P10 may be appropriate for longer viewing distances when large text and simple visual messages matter more than fine detail.
For campaigns involving several viewing environments, identify the closest important viewing position first. This helps avoid selecting a pitch that performs adequately from a distance but produces insufficient detail for nearby audiences.
Which Outdoor Specifications Should Buyers Check?
Evaluate Screen Brightness
Outdoor displays must remain visible under changing light conditions. Compare the rated brightness with the intended environment, and confirm that the screen supports suitable brightness adjustment for evening operation. Local regulations may also restrict nighttime brightness.
Verify Weather Protection
The M2 product specifications list an IP65 rating, indicating protection against dust ingress and water jets under specified test conditions. Buyers should confirm that the protection level and maintenance requirements suit the planned operating environment.
For projects with broader outdoor installation requirements, outdoor display solutions provide a useful reference for evaluating environmental protection and application needs.
Check Refresh Rate
The published M2 configurations support a refresh rate of 3,840 to 7,680 Hz. A suitable refresh rate can help reduce visible flicker in camera footage, although recording results also depend on camera settings and display operation.
Review Remote Control Options
The display supports 4G and Wi-Fi connectivity for remote content updates. This can simplify campaign management when the vehicle moves between locations. Buyers should confirm control system compatibility and connectivity requirements before ordering.
How Do Installation and Operating Costs Affect the Choice?
Assess Power Consumption
Power consumption affects generator sizing and operating expenses. The published M2 specifications list maximum power consumption of 800 W/m² and average power consumption of 230 W/m² for the P4, P5, and P6 configurations.
These figures should not be assumed to apply to every pixel pitch. Request the specifications for the exact configuration under consideration and confirm expected consumption under actual operating conditions.
Check Vehicle Payload
The total display weight affects vehicle payload and mounting requirements. Buyers should obtain the complete installed weight, including the relevant display structure and supporting equipment, before finalizing the design.
Installatievereisten evalueren
The mounting arrangement must suit the vehicle body, available installation space, and operating conditions. The M2 product page describes a module buckle design intended to improve shock resistance. Buyers should request relevant test documentation when road vibration is a significant concern.
Compare Total Ownership Costs
The initial screen price is only one part of the investment. Consider power requirements, maintenance access, spare parts, warranty coverage, and the cost of servicing the complete system.
For projects considering another outdoor display format, the OR2 rental display offers P3.9, P4.8, and P5.9 options for outdoor event applications. Its specifications can help buyers compare alternative pixel pitches, but its cabinet design and installation method should be assessed separately from a mobile truck display.
Wat moet je controleren voordat je bestelt?
Validate Viewing Performance
Ask the supplier to demonstrate the proposed screen using actual advertising content at the closest and farthest expected viewing positions. This helps establish whether the selected pitch suits the campaign.
Controleer de technische specificaties
Check the quotation against the official specifications for brightness, refresh rate, IP rating, power consumption, and screen dimensions. Confirm any configuration dependent values in writing.
Confirm Installation Compatibility
Verify vehicle payload, mounting points, structural support, and cable routing before production. The proposed display dimensions must fit the available vehicle space without compromising installation requirements.
Review of Warrant Coverage
Confirm coverage for pixel failures, module defects, and replacement parts. Buyers should also clarify spare parts availability, service procedures, and warranty terms before approving the order.
FAQ
Does a Smaller Pixel Pitch Always Mean a Better Screen?
No. A smaller pitch provides higher pixel density, but its benefits depend on viewing distance, content detail, and budget. A larger pitch may be more practical when viewers remain farther away.
What Affects the Cost of an LED Billboard Truck Display?
Pixel pitch, screen dimensions, brightness, control equipment, installation structure, power requirements, and warranty terms all affect the quotation. Comparing the complete system cost provides a more useful basis for purchasing decisions than comparing price per square meter alone.
