Desay X3.9i vs Nanolumens Performance 250 3.9

3.906 mm against 3.906 mm · specifications from both manufacturers' datasheets

This page puts the two sheets side by side, then builds the same wall from each tile, so the comparison is in panels, kilograms, circuits and data runs.

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.
Nanolumens Performance 250 3.9 is the lighter rig: 37 kg/m² against 40 kg/m². Across this wall that is 102 kg of difference, 1,640 kg versus 1,742 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
Nanolumens Performance 250 3.9 draws more: 661 W/m² against 600 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 21.6 kW versus 23.8 kW, and 8 versus 11 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
Data is lighter on Nanolumens Performance 250 3.9: 5 runs against 6, at 31 and 126 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 250 × 250 mm, so 144 tiles versus 576 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: 5.8 m for Desay X3.9i against 21.3 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.

For other panels, or your own OEM tile, the comparison tool takes any panels, up to four at once, at your wall size. Add your own spec once in the calculator and it appears there alongside the catalogue.
