High-impact LED displays for businesses, schools, and organizations
We design and install full-color electronic display signs across Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties, as well as the greater Metro Detroit area. These signs let you update your message in real time from anywhere. Dealerships, schools, and retail centers use them to promote inventory, events, and daily specials without waiting on a sign company.

Understanding Pixel Pitch
Pixel pitch is the distance, in millimeters, between the center of one LED pixel and the next. The smaller the number, the sharper the image, especially up close. Pitch also sets minimum viewing distance, so a highway-facing sign and an entrance sign call for different specs.
| Pitch | Pixel Count (4'x8' panel) | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 12mm | 18,432 pixels | Long-distance viewing — highways, main roads |
| 9mm | 32,768 pixels | Balanced choice for most street-facing signage |
| 6mm | 73,728 pixels | Sharper detail for closer viewing distances |
| 4mm | 131,072 pixels | Highest clarity for close-range or indoor viewing |
