Dahua DHI-PHGIA3.91-SE vs Nanolumens Performance 500 3.9

3.906 mm against 3.906 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

Both resolve to about the same density (65,536 and 65,536 pixels per square metre), so pick on weight, power or what your shop already owns rather than on image detail.
Dahua DHI-PHGIA3.91-SE is the lighter rig: 19 kg/m² against 37 kg/m². Across this wall that is 754 kg of difference, 791 kg versus 1,545 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
Nanolumens Performance 500 3.9 draws more: 660 W/m² against 500 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 18 kW versus 23.8 kW, and 8 versus 9 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
Data is lighter on Nanolumens Performance 500 3.9: 6 runs against 8, at 15 and 31 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: 1000 × 500 mm against 500 × 500 mm, so 72 tiles versus 144 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: 4 m for Dahua DHI-PHGIA3.91-SE against 5.8 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
