Choose a single colour LED sign if it will mostly show words and numbers, such as opening hours and notices, and a full colour LED sign if you want logos, photos, video or sponsor ads. Single colour keeps the cost down.
Both kinds of LED sign are bright, both run from your phone, and both are built for WA weather. The difference is what they can show.
What can a single colour sign show?
Single colour signs, usually red, show text, numbers and simple graphics. They are the classic LED message board: opening hours, today’s notice, a welcome message, the score. They keep the cost down and are easy to read from a distance. For the other things that change the cost, see what affects the cost of an LED sign.
What does full colour add?
Full colour signs show logos, photos and video, and make sponsor ads look the way the sponsor intended. They suit shopfronts, pylons, schools, venues and sports grounds where you want more than words. See our full colour LED screens and video walls.
Which one suits you?
- Mostly words and numbers: single colour.
- Logos, photos, video or sponsors: full colour.
- A scoreboard: either. Basic, the iCatcher Scoreboard app, works with full colour and single colour boards. Advanced, Olympyx, is made for full colour screens. See our electronic and LED scoreboards.
See the difference
The pixel pitch planner switches between full colour and single colour red, so you can see your sign both ways before you decide. Our guide to pixel pitch explains how sharp each one will look.
