Absen PL2.5 Pro V10 vs Unilumin UpanelS MP 2.5
2.5 mm against 2.54 mm · specifications from both manufacturers' datasheets
Side-by-side specifications, then the same wall built from each tile — so the comparison is in panels, kilograms, circuits and data runs rather than in marketing copy.

Whole cabinets rarely hit an identical size, so each wall is the closest build to a real video format (16:9 or 16:10) near 8 m wide for that tile — 8.00 × 4.50 m and 7.93 × 4.46 m respectively.
What the numbers say
- Absen PL2.5 Pro V10 resolves finer: 160,000 pixels per square metre against 154,838 for Unilumin UpanelS MP 2.5, 3% more. On a 8 m wide wall that is 3,200 px across versus 3,120 px.
- Unilumin UpanelS MP 2.5 is the lighter rig: 32 kg/m² against 35 kg/m². Across this wall that is 153 kg of difference — 1,314 kg versus 1,467 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
- Absen PL2.5 Pro V10 draws more: 680 W/m² against 430 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 24.5 kW versus 15.2 kW, and 9 versus 7 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
- Data is lighter on Unilumin UpanelS MP 2.5: 13 runs against 16, at 13 and 16 panels per port respectively (60 Hz, 8-bit, ports loaded to 80%). Fewer runs means fewer home runs to pull and fewer processor ports to find.
- Different cabinet formats: 500 × 500 mm against 609.92 × 343.08 mm, so 144 tiles versus 169 for the same wall. Fewer, larger cabinets build faster; smaller ones give finer control over wall dimensions and are easier to handle alone.
- Estimated truck space: 6 m for Absen PL2.5 Pro V10 against 7.1 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
