Desay M12 vs Unilumin Usurface III 10 (1200×1200)

12.5 mm against 10 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 9.60 × 6.00 m respectively.

What the numbers say

Unilumin Usurface III 10 (1200×1200) resolves finer: 10,000 pixels per square metre against 6,400 for Desay M12, 56% more. On a 8 m wide wall that is 960 px across versus 640 px.
Desay M12 is the lighter rig: 22 kg/m² against 49 kg/m². Across this wall that is 2,019 kg of difference, 925 kg versus 2,944 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
Unilumin Usurface III 10 (1200×1200) draws more: 650 W/m² against 531 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 19.1 kW versus 37.4 kW, and 10 versus 15 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
Data is lighter on Desay M12: 1 runs against 2, at 112 and 36 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: 800 × 900 mm against 1200 × 1200 mm, so 50 tiles versus 40 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 M12 against 5.4 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
