Pixel pitch. The calculator uses pitch in millimetres no greater than the nearest-viewer distance in metres as its initial selection rule. It recommends the coarsest eligible pitch under that rule, not a guaranteed cheapest or equally clear screen. The second distance assumes one arc-minute angular separation: metres ≈ pitch in millimetres × 3.438. Check representative content, eyesight and site conditions before choosing.
Cabinet layout and resolution. Your width and height are rounded to whole cabinets of the recommended model, so the wall you see is the wall that can actually be built, with its real size. Resolution is the published pixel count of one cabinet multiplied by the number of cabinets, not the screen size divided by the pitch. Where a pitch has no published cabinet geometry yet, the calculator says so and leaves the layout to the quotation.
Power and running cost. Average power is the datasheet’s average figure in W/m² multiplied by the built area. If a datasheet only gives peak power, no average is shown — peak power is not what a screen draws while playing normal content. Energy per year is average kW × hours per day × 365; the default is 16 hours a day and a business electricity tariff for the country you choose. Both are editable, so you can enter your own bill.
Back of the wall. Flip the drawing to see the cabinet backs, the data zones and the power circuits — useful for planning cable runs and the electrical supply before anything is ordered.
Every number comes from the published datasheet of the recommended model, and each datasheet can be downloaded from the series page.
