P1.86 is the correct pixel pitch for the majority of UK conference and event venues. Here is why that specific number matters rather than a general recommendation.
Pixel pitch determines the minimum comfortable viewing distance. At P1.86, the closest point at which a viewer can see individual pixels without the image looking grainy is approximately 1.86 metres. In practice, every person in a conference room beyond the front row is at a distance where P1.86 delivers a sharp, clean image. The detail in charts, slide text, logos, and video content reads clearly without the softness that a P2.5 display would show at the same distance.
The case for going finer than P1.86 on a lectern is limited. A P1.53 display would cost more and deliver a sharper image at distances under 1.5 metres, which is the presenter’s own line of sight rather than the audience’s. Unless the lectern is being used as a product showcase in a space where visitors are reading it at arm’s length, P1.86 covers every realistic conference scenario.
The 640x960mm wide model is the recommended choice for main auditoriums where the lectern needs to hold visual weight against a large backdrop screen. The 480x960mm standard model suits hotel conference rooms and mid-size venues where the lectern is the primary focal point on stage. The 320x960mm compact model works in boardrooms, training rooms, and intimate settings where the front row is within three metres of the stage.
GOB sealed surface protection on every Boardsy LED Lectern Display means the pixel pitch you specify on day one is the pixel pitch you get on day one hundred. Without GOB protection, LED modules in event environments accumulate minor physical damage from repeated movement that degrades display quality over time. The resin coating prevents that.
One detail that catches buyers out: refresh rate matters more than pixel pitch for broadcast and recording use. At 3,840Hz, the Boardsy lectern display does not produce the flicker that LCD panels show under certain lighting conditions when captured on camera. For hybrid events, webinars, and recorded conferences where the output will be distributed as video, that is a meaningful practical difference.
