How To Choose An LED Screen Company? 2026 Price, Quality And After-sales Guide

How to choose an LED screen company

I have been engaged in LED screen projects for many years and have seen many people encounter difficulties. Purchasing an LED screen is not the same as purchasing an ordinary product. Once installed, it will be used for many years. Once a problem occurs, the impact will be huge. The most critical point is to choose the right manufacturer. Otherwise, if you want to protect your own rights and interests in the later stage, you will not even be able to find anyone who can be prosecuted.

When many people face an LED screen, their first reaction is often to check whether the price is low. However, those who are really knowledgeable know that the quality of LED screens is directly proportional to the price. In order to reduce costs, some small workshops will use recycled chips of poor quality to assemble and assemble them. The appearance of the products produced is not much different from the official products, but the actual service life is several times worse than the official products.

There is a real case in my hands. In order to save trouble and be cheap, a shopping mall chose a manufacturer with a very low quotation. As a result, less than two years after installation, the screen had a large area of ​​dead lights. The subsequent maintenance costs were calculated to be more than the little money saved by purchasing the screen.

Before choosing a company, you must first figure out what you want. Do you want indoor or outdoor equipment, fixed installation, or mobile rental? Because these specific needs are different, the recommended directions are also different. Don't listen to the all-round products promoted by sales. Most of them are polite rhetoric and clichés without substantial content.

Which LED screen company is the best?

In the industry, there are only a limited number of companies with good reputations, but each company has different strengths. The product quality of large companies such as Hikvision, Leyard and Unilumin is stable and suitable for projects that have high requirements for stability, such as TV studios and large screens in stadiums. However, their prices are relatively high, and if used in small projects, they will inevitably cause a certain degree of waste of resources.

For small and medium-sized projects, it is not necessary to chase big names. When choosing a partner, or purchasing related products, if you are too obsessed with well-known brands, it may not be the best choice. However, some brands that focus on specific areas can often meet the actual needs and situations of small and medium-sized projects and have certain required aspects and elements. Most of these regional brands focus on making products. Moreover, its services are also closer to reality, in line with actual conditions, and meet actual needs. Overall, they usually have more advantages than big brands in terms of cost performance.

I once selected a display screen for a local hospital. After comparing many big-name and niche brands, I finally selected a medium-sized manufacturer in South China. After the installation and use, I found that the actual display effect was no different from the big-name products, but the total cost was saved by nearly one-third. When selecting such a brand, the most critical thing is to check whether it has practical experience in similar projects and whether it has reliable cases that can be put on the table and can withstand inspection and scrutiny for reference.

There are several key verifiable indicators to judge whether a company is excellent: the first is the length of establishment, the second is the number of patents, the third is past cases, and the fourth is customer evaluations. A quick search on Tianyancha will reveal the situation. Some companies that have been established for less than three years dare to undertake large-scale projects. Such companies should be treated with extra caution.

How much does an LED screen company cost?

As far as price is concerned, the door here is the deepest, and the price difference between different configurations can actually increase several times. There is a P2.5 indoor full-color screen, the price range is from 3,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan per square meter, and the difference is mainly reflected in the chip brand, driver IC and packaging technology. Compared with imported Jinko LED chips and domestic second-tier brand chips, there is a big price difference, and there are also many differences in brightness and stability.

Generally speaking, when it is recommended to install LED displays indoors, the pixel pitch range from P2 to P2.5 should be selected. Products within this range can find a balance between display clarity and purchase cost, and their overall cost performance is the highest. If it is used outdoors, the requirements for screen brightness will be higher. The pixel pitch of P4 and above can meet the corresponding needs. However, on an outdoor display with too dense pixels, it is difficult for the human eye to distinguish the details at a normal viewing distance, which is an unnecessary waste of cost.

There is a cost related to the screen that is easily overlooked. This cost belongs to the steel structure. Before installing the screen, it is necessary to confirm the load-bearing capacity of the on-site wall in advance. In other words, if the installation location is in a special situation, a custom-fit load-bearing steel frame must be prepared. This additional supporting cost incurred during installation may sometimes be higher than the purchase cost of the LED screen itself.

If the budget is tight, you can consider second-hand machines or leasing large screens, but the prerequisite is to find reliable channels. Never buy a refurbished screen and sell it as a new machine.

How about the after-sales service of the LED screen company?

After the screen is installed, it does not mean that the entire service process has reached the end. There is an after-sales guarantee link in the follow-up, and this truly tests a company's sense of responsibility and service sincerity. The warranty period is the basic bottom line of after-sales guarantee. When signing relevant agreements, it is best to proactively strive for a complete machine warranty service of more than three years. Such a long-term warranty agreement can reduce many worries for subsequent use.

Some companies with substandard practices often only promise to guarantee the light source, but they are silent about key components such as drivers. Such different warranty terms must be carefully checked and understood in advance. If this situation is omitted, when the power board is damaged and other situations occur later, it is very likely to fall into the embarrassing situation of no one taking responsibility.

Speed ​​of response is also very important. If there is a sudden problem on the screen during a live game or conference event, and the maintenance personnel cannot arrive at the scene within two hours, the damage caused can be quite serious. When signing the contract, the service terms must be clearly stated in detail, that is, how long it will take to respond, how long it will take to arrive at the scene, and whether parts will be replaced free of charge.

After the LED screen is put into use for one or two years, certain conditions will occur due to daily operational wear and tear and environmental factors. Operation will cause the brightness to spontaneously attenuate and the module will produce individual dark spots. Therefore, professional maintenance at this time can effectively slow down the performance and extend the overall service life of the equipment. Therefore, regular maintenance cannot be omitted.

Service companies with excellent performance will provide regular inspection services and identify potential problems as early as possible through early troubleshooting. They do not rush in for repairs only after the equipment completely breaks down and interferes with use.
