The pixel pitch of 6.25mm/10mm results in high-quality, crisp images for visibility throughout the whole stadium and for broadcast viewers. The display is designed to be adaptable to the stadium environment with low brightness control and high grayscale, the display and video effects remain excellent even when brightness levels are lowered to less than 20% of output. This provides consistently high-quality visual performance for outdoor or indoor siting, day-time, night-time, and in sunshine or cloudy rain conditions.
