LED scoreboard is an LED display product specially designed to display game information in major stadiums.
With the vigorous development of sports, people’s attention to sports events has reached an unprecedented height.
In addition to paying attention to the mascots of competitions and the performance of athletes, people have gradually realized the influential role of LED video scoreboards in various competitions.
We look back at the scenes of various large-scale sports events in the past, and there are many LED displays. The sports industry has also been affected by technological advances.
All kinds of equipment are also being updated. While the upsurge of sports culture keeps pace with the times, the ever-improving display technology has also contributed to the dissemination of sports events and the development of the advertising industry.
There are indeed many types of LED displays in sports arenas, and their uses are not only the same.
Such as an LED video scoreboard, stadium perimeter LED display, and full-color giant LED screen. Today we are going to focus on the LED digital score board.
1. When Did the LED Video Scoreboard Arise?
LED scoreboards are widely used for two reasons. On the one hand, due to the far-reaching influence of modern media, advertising is particularly crucial.
On the other hand, the maturity of LED screen technology is also a direct cause. Display screens with various forms and functions can meet the different needs of sports events for display devices.
As early as 1995, led displays appeared in sports events in China. A giant LED screen of more than 1,000 square meters took place at the 43rd World Table Tennis Championships in Tianjin.
It is the first appearance of a domestic full-color LED display at a sports event. The audiences are interested in a novel display effect.
Since then, the led display has become the main means of information display in many domestic and foreign events.
2. What is an LED Scoreboard?
LED score board is a kind of LED display used in stadiums. Its main function is to record and display game time and scores.
Although the organizer advocates friendship first, and competition later, the score is the only basis for determining the winning and losing of the game and the noun of the athlete.
The LED scoreboard is responsible for calculating the game time and score.
In addition to the fundamental function of an ordinary LED display, a timing score display connects with the game’s timing and scoring system. Scoring is achieved through a timing score system.
At the same time, it can also broadcast the player’s game results and related materials, and release relevant game information.
In the sense of the game, the LED scoreboard is more important than other displays. Some venues can play advertisements without the stadium perimeter LED display.
However, they cannot record the scores without the digital scoreboard.
With the renovation and upgrading of stadiums and the maturity of LED display technology, more engineers are eager to replace traditional light bulbs and CRT displays with full-color LED displays.
A CRT display is a type of display that uses a cathode ray tube. It is the main screen of a desktop TV.
Compared with the LED display, the CRT display is bulky. And it has relatively serious geometric distortion.
The popularity of full-color led displays. The displayed content gradually changed from the previous numbers to text, pictures, and videos.
3. How Much Does a LED Scoreboard Cost?
LED scoreboard prices can vary greatly depending on the requirements. So, How about LED scoreboard prices?

6. How to Choose the Best LED Scoreboards?
How to choose the most suitable one for digital LED scoreboards from many led display products?
What are those aspects that need to be careful? UNIT LED tells you to start from the following points.
6.1 Purpose of the Screen
The display tasks undertaken by different types of displays are not familiar.
For example, in addition to being used for timing and scoring, the funnel-shaped LED display can also live broadcasting and advertising.
Therefore, small-pitch led displays with high resolution and refresh rate are ideal for basketball stadium led displays.
The better refresh rate display screen can ensure the smooth continuity of the live broadcast of large-scale sports events, and the human eye can feel more comfortable and natural.
The P10 outdoor screen with a high protection level is a good choice in open-air stadiums.
6.2 Protection Performance
Heat dissipation is an aspect that LED displays must take care of. Especially for outdoor LED video scoreboards, high flame retardant grade and windproof and waterproof grade are necessary.
A display screen that has reached IP65 protection level and wire V0 flame retardant level is an ideal choice. It would be better if it had a cooling fan.
The climatic conditions vary widely from country to country. So you should consider the environment of your project.
For example, if you are in a coastal area, focus on moisture and waterproofing. If it is in high latitudes, pay attention to cold and frost resistance.
6.3 Brightness
Brightness is one factor that affects the display. Generally speaking, the brightness requirement of an outdoor LED scoreboard is higher than that of an indoor one.
The high-brightness LED display can display information even under sunlight. But that doesn’t mean that the higher the brightness value, the better.
You had better consider those aspects. For instance, brightness, contrast, energy saving, and other factors. The EV960 series of energy-saving led displays from UNIT LED can meet your requirements.
6.4 Installation Method
The LED display in the gymnasium has many installation methods, such as fixed installation, hoisting, and stacking.
When purchasing, you need to consider whether the screen needs to be floor-standing, wall-mounted, or wall-mounted.
Clearly indicate your needs so that the manufacturer can make corresponding adjustments to the cabinet.
At the same time, the maintenance method is important. The difficulty of pre-maintenance and post-maintenance is different. Double maintenance of the display can save a lot of time and labor costs.
6.5 Viewing Distance
Large-scale sporting events are crowded with spectators. The LED video scoreboard should ensure that audiences far away from the stands can also see it.
P6 and P8 led screens are common choices for outdoor stadiums. The indoor audience density is higher. And the viewing distance is closer.
So, the P5 and P4 LED displays with smaller spacing are more suitable for indoor gyms.
6.6 Wide Viewing Angle
The size of the viewing angle affects the viewing angle range. The larger the viewing angle of the LED display, the larger the audience and the wider the coverage area.
Due to the different locations, the viewing angle of each viewer is also different. LED score boards with wide viewing angles guarantee a good viewing experience for most viewers.
