Absen PL3.9 V10 vs Desay M3

3.9 mm against 3.846 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 8.00 × 4.50 m respectively.

What the numbers say

Desay M3 resolves finer: 67,600 pixels per square metre against 65,536 for Absen PL3.9 V10, 3% more. On a 8 m wide wall that is 2,080 px across versus 2,048 px.
Desay M3 is the lighter rig: 28 kg/m² against 31 kg/m². Across this wall that is 194 kg of difference, 1,115 kg versus 1,309 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
Desay M3 draws more: 640 W/m² against 540 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 19.4 kW versus 23.1 kW, and 8 versus 10 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
Data is lighter on Desay M3: 5 runs against 6, at 31 and 10 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 800 × 900 mm, so 144 tiles versus 50 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: 2.9 m for Desay M3 against 5.8 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
