Which is lighter, Absen PL3.9 V10 or ROE Visual CB3 MkII?

ROE Visual CB3 MkII is the lighter rig: 19 kg/m² against 31 kg/m². Across this wall that is 416 kg of difference — 893 kg versus 1,309 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.

Which draws more power?

ROE Visual CB3 MkII draws more: 833 W/m² against 540 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 19.4 kW versus 31.2 kW, and 8 versus 13 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.

Which resolves finer?

ROE Visual CB3 MkII resolves finer: 71,111 pixels per square metre against 65,536 for Absen PL3.9 V10, 9% more. On a 8 m wide wall that is 2,080 px across versus 2,048 px.

Absen PL3.9 V10 vs ROE Visual CB3 MkII

3.9 mm against 3.75 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 7.80 × 4.80 m respectively.

What the numbers say

ROE Visual CB3 MkII resolves finer: 71,111 pixels per square metre against 65,536 for Absen PL3.9 V10, 9% more. On a 8 m wide wall that is 2,080 px across versus 2,048 px.
ROE Visual CB3 MkII is the lighter rig: 19 kg/m² against 31 kg/m². Across this wall that is 416 kg of difference — 893 kg versus 1,309 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
ROE Visual CB3 MkII draws more: 833 W/m² against 540 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 19.4 kW versus 31.2 kW, and 8 versus 13 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
Data is lighter on Absen PL3.9 V10: 6 runs against 7, 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 600 × 1200 mm, so 144 tiles versus 52 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: 3.3 m for ROE Visual CB3 MkII against 5.8 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
