Desay X1.5i vs Unilumin UpanelS MP 1.5

1.563 mm against 1.58 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 7.93 × 4.46 m respectively.

What the numbers say

Desay X1.5i resolves finer: 409,600 pixels per square metre against 396,385 for Unilumin UpanelS MP 1.5, 3% more. On a 8 m wide wall that is 5,120 px across versus 4,992 px.
Unilumin UpanelS MP 1.5 is the lighter rig: 32 kg/m² against 44 kg/m². Across this wall that is 456 kg of difference, 1,314 kg versus 1,770 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
Desay X1.5i draws more: 720 W/m² against 631 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 25.9 kW versus 22.3 kW, and 9 versus 13 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
Data is lighter on Desay X1.5i: 32 runs against 39, at 5 and 6 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 609.92 × 343.08 mm, so 144 tiles versus 169 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: 6.5 m for Desay X1.5i against 7.5 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
