Barco TP0.9-I vs Christie MicroTiles LED 1.0 mm Series 80

0.953 mm against 1 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: 7.93 × 4.46 m and 8.16 × 4.59 m respectively.

What the numbers say

Barco TP0.9-I resolves finer: 1,101,068 pixels per square metre against 1,000,000 for Christie MicroTiles LED 1.0 mm Series 80, 10% more. On a 8 m wide wall that is 8,320 px across versus 8,160 px.
Christie MicroTiles LED 1.0 mm Series 80 is the lighter rig: 34 kg/m² against 40 kg/m². Across this wall that is 129 kg of difference, 1,568 kg versus 1,697 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
Barco TP0.9-I draws more: 698 W/m² against 664 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 24.7 kW versus 24.9 kW, and 13 versus 9 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
Data is lighter on Barco TP0.9-I: 91 runs against 102, at 2 and 8 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: 609.92 × 343.08 mm against 240 × 270 mm, so 169 tiles versus 578 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: 9 m for Barco TP0.9-I against 14.4 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
