Why Should Ultra-High-Definition Resolution Be Used For Stretched Bar Display Monitor?

The core purpose of using ultra-high definition (such as 4K/8K) resolutions in stretched bar display is to ensure that each display unit can still maintain an extremely high pixel density (PPI) after the screen is physically cut into irregular shapes (especially slender strips). The reason why stretched display monitor generally adopt ultra-high-definition resolution is mainly determined by the process characteristics and application requirements.

1.The source of the cutting process determines the high resolution

Stretched bar display screen are usually cut from large-sized standard LCD panels, such as 4K/8K TV screens. Large-sized panels themselves have ultra-high-definition resolutions, such as 3840x2160(4K). After cutting, the screen retains its original high pixel density. Since the pixel arrangement is continuous, cutting does not reduce pixel precision, thus naturally presenting an ‘ultra-high-definition’ effect.

2. The bar ratio requires a higher pixel density

The aspect ratio of stretched bar monitor is quite special (commonly 16:3, 32:9, 48:9, etc.). If the resolution is not high enough, the frames will appear blurry due to being "stretched". The ultra-high-definition resolution ensures that even when stretched into long strips, it can still maintain clear details and sharp text, making it particularly suitable for displaying navigation, timetables, and advertising subtitles.

3. High contrast and clarity are required for the display effect

Stretched bar screen are widely used in subways, airports, shopping malls, vehicle-mounted billboards, and smart retail shelves. The application scenarios often require viewing from a distance and can carry a large amount of information (such as multiple lines of text or complex charts). High resolution ensures that the information remains clear and easy to read even in large screens and high-brightness environments, without jagged edges or blurriness.

Therefore, using ultra-high definition resolution for stretched bar display monitor is the only technical path to ensure that their final display effect meets the requirements of commercial and even high-end applications. Although it increased the initial screen cost, it brought unparalleled display quality, design freedom, and overall value, which is crucial for customers pursuing brand image and user experience.
