Video Brochure Sizes: Compare Screen Options
Video brochures are available in several screen sizes, and choosing the right one depends on your content, audience, distribution method, and budget.
This guide compares the four most common screen sizes CheerTrend supplies — 4.3″, 5″, 7″ and 10.1″ — and helps you narrow down which one fits your project before you look at specific product options.
Video Brochure Size Comparison
| Screen Size | Resolution | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| 4.3″ | 480 × 272 | Compact promotions, invitations |
| 5″ | 800 × 480 | Business presentations, mailers |
| 7″ | 1024 × 600 | Corporate presentations |
| 10.1″ | 1024 × 600 | Premium, high-detail presentations |
The 7-inch and 10.1-inch screens may share the same resolution, but the larger 10.1-inch display provides more physical viewing area. This makes it better suited for detailed visuals, product demonstrations, and presentations viewed from a greater distance.

Why Screen Size Matters
Screen size isn’t just about how big the display looks — it affects how your content should be designed and how the brochure will be used.
A few factors to consider before choosing a size:
- Viewing distance. A brochure handed directly to a person (like a listing presentation) can use a smaller screen than one viewed from across a table or during a group presentation.
- Content type. Text-heavy or data-heavy content (technical specs, charts, financial details) benefits from a larger screen. Short promotional videos work well on smaller displays.
- Packaging and distribution. Larger screens require larger covers, which affects mailing costs and how the brochure fits into existing packaging or gift box designs.
There’s no single “correct” size — the right choice depends on how the brochure will actually be used, not just how impressive a bigger screen looks on paper.

Screen Size and Project Cost
Larger screens don’t just cost more for the LCD panel itself. Several related costs typically increase together with screen size:
- Battery capacity — larger screens draw more power and often require bigger batteries to maintain the same playback time.
- Memory — higher-resolution content for larger screens can require more onboard storage.
- Packaging and shipping — larger brochures mean larger, heavier packaging, which increases freight costs, especially for high-volume orders.
This is why the largest screen isn’t automatically the best choice. For high-volume campaigns, a smaller screen size often delivers better overall ROI than a premium display that’s underused. For lower-volume, high-impact presentations, the added cost of a larger screen is usually justified by the stronger impression it creates.
