Your next project deserves a LEDgend. But even the boldest visions can fall short if you step into a dvLED pitfall.
At LEDgend Distributors, we’ve seen it all — from dazzling wins to costly do-overs. If you’re planning your first dvLED purchase (or your fiftieth), here are the five most common mistakes to dodge — and how we help you sidestep them every time.
❌ 1. Ignoring Brightness Requirements
The Mistake: Choosing a display that’s too dim for its environment.The Result: Washed-out content, unreadable messages, disappointed clients.
The Fix: Know your environment. We guide you to the right nit level based on ambient light and use case — whether it’s a shady conference room or a sunlit airport terminal.
💡 Remember: Brighter doesn’t always mean better — but not bright enough is always a fail.
❌ 2. Overlooking Content Strategy
The Mistake: Buying a display without a content plan.The Result: A blank screen. Or worse — pixelated logos and poor ROI.
The Fix: Think beyond the hardware. We help clients assess resolution needs, aspect ratios, motion graphics, and playback systems from day one.
🎯 You don’t just need a display — you need a message that moves.
❌ 3. Underestimating Installation Requirements
The Mistake: Believing all installs are plug-and-play.The Result: Delays, surprise expenses, structural fails.
The Fix: We evaluate mounting conditions, wall structure, cabling access, and ADA considerations upfront. And if it’s outdoors? We talk wind load, waterproofing, and permits.
🧱 Fast installs start with smart prep — and a partner who’s done it before.
❌ 4. Focusing Only on Pixel Pitch
The Mistake: Thinking lower pitch = better every time.The Result: Overpaying for detail that won’t be noticed.
The Fix: We help determine optimal viewing distance and tailor the pixel pitch accordingly. Sometimes a 2.5mm pitch is just right — and way more cost-effective than a 1.2mm overkill.
🔍 It’s not just about specs. It’s about what works best for your space and budget.
❌ 5. Choosing the Wrong Partner
The Mistake: Buying from a vendor who disappears after delivery.The Result: No support, no accountability, and a lot of finger-pointing.
The Fix: LEDgend Distributors sticks with you — from quote to post-install and beyond. No hard sales. No ghosting. Just honest, expert guidance from people who know what it takes to win.
🤝 Because every project deserves a partner, not just a product.
