Nanolumens Nixel 3 Rigid vs ROE Visual Carbon CB3 MkII

3.81 mm against 3.75 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: 7.62 × 4.27 m and 7.80 × 4.80 m respectively.

What the numbers say

ROE Visual Carbon CB3 MkII resolves finer: 71,111 pixels per square metre against 68,889 for Nanolumens Nixel 3 Rigid, 3% more. On a 8 m wide wall that is 2,080 px across versus 2,000 px.
ROE Visual Carbon CB3 MkII is the lighter rig: 19 kg/m² against 25 kg/m². Across this wall that is 366 kg of difference, 768 kg versus 1,134 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
ROE Visual Carbon CB3 MkII draws more: 833 W/m² against 474 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 15.4 kW versus 31.2 kW, and 7 versus 13 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
Data is lighter on Nanolumens Nixel 3 Rigid: 5 runs against 7, at 162 and 10 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: 304.8 × 152.4 mm against 600 × 1200 mm, so 700 tiles versus 52 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: 3.3 m for ROE Visual Carbon CB3 MkII against 25.4 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.
