1. What is a Pixel per Meter Calculator?

Definition: This calculator determines the pixel density (pixels per meter) for LED strips, displays, or digital screens.

Purpose: It helps designers, engineers, and installers understand the resolution and pixel spacing for lighting and display projects.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ \text{Pixels/m} = \frac{N}{L} \]

Where:

Pixels/m — Pixel density (pixels per meter)
N — Total number of pixels
L — Length in meters

Explanation: The total number of pixels is divided by the length to determine how densely packed the pixels are.

3. Importance of Pixel Density Calculation

Details: Proper pixel density calculation ensures optimal resolution for displays, proper spacing for LED installations, and helps determine viewing distances.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total number of pixels and the length in meters. Both values must be greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a typical pixel density for LED strips?
A: Common densities range from 30-144 pixels/meter, depending on the application (60 pixels/m is common for basic installations).

Q2: How does pixel density affect display quality?
A: Higher density means sharper images but requires more processing power and may have higher costs.

Q3: When would I need lower pixel density?
A: For large displays viewed from a distance or when budget constraints exist.

Q4: Can I calculate pixel spacing from this?
A: Yes, pixel spacing (mm) = 1000 / pixels per meter.

Q5: Does this work for both LED strips and video walls?
A: Yes, the same calculation applies to any linear pixel arrangement.
