Sharp LD-FE153 vs SiliconCore Magnolia 1.5

1.5 mm against 1.5 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: 7.90 × 4.45 m and 8.16 × 4.59 m respectively.

What the numbers say

• SiliconCore Magnolia 1.5 resolves finer: 444,444 pixels per square metre against 398,892 for Sharp LD-FE153, 11% more. On a 8 m wide wall that is 5,440 px across versus 4,992 px.
• Sharp LD-FE153 is the lighter rig: 42 kg/m² against 56 kg/m². Across this wall that is 644 kg of difference, 1,652 kg versus 2,296 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
• SiliconCore Magnolia 1.5 draws more: 856 W/m² against 183 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 6.4 kW versus 32.1 kW, and 3 versus 17 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
• Data is lighter on SiliconCore Magnolia 1.5: 34 runs against 39, at 6 and 9 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: 608 × 342 mm against 480 × 270 mm, so 169 tiles versus 289 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: 7.5 m for Sharp LD-FE153 against 11.9 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
