FAQ | LED VIDEO WALLS

  • What is an LED video wall and why should I consider one?

    An LED video wall is a large digital display made up of multiple LED panels tiled together to form a seamless, high-resolution screen. They’re used in applications ranging from advertising and live events to control rooms, education, houses of worship, and corporate lobbies.

  • The difference between LED and LCD video walls?

    LED video walls use light-emitting diodes and provide better brightness, contrast, color uniformity, and scalability compared to LCD video walls, which are made of multiple flat-screen monitors with visible bezels. LED walls are ideal for environments needing seamless visuals and large-scale impact.

  • What does ‘pixel pitch’ mean, and why is it important?

    Pixel pitch is the distance in millimeters between the center of one LED pixel to the next. A lower pixel pitch means higher pixel density and better resolution—great for close-range viewing (e.g. 1.5–2.9 mm). Higher pixel pitch is ideal for large displays seen from far away (e.g. 6–10 mm).

  • Can LED video walls be used outdoors?

    Yes. Outdoor-rated LED displays are designed with weatherproof enclosures (usually IP65 or IP66), high-brightness LEDs (often 5,000+ nits), and durable construction to withstand rain, sun, wind, and dust. Indoor models are not weatherproof and are better suited for controlled environments.

  • What’s the difference between front and rear service LED panels?

    Front service panels allow maintenance (like module replacement) from the front of the wall—ideal for installations where rear access is restricted. Rear service panels require space behind the wall for access but may be more cost-effective in large open spaces.

  • What mounting and rigging options are available?

    LED video walls can be wall-mounted, flown from trusses, ground-stacked with staging frames, built into enclosures or kiosks, or even configured into floor and ceiling installations. The mounting solution depends on venue structure, installation type, and safety regulations.

  • What content sources can feed into an LED wall?

    LED walls can display live video, HDMI/DVI/SDI feeds, media players, PCs, camera input, real-time graphics, and more. Advanced processors allow for multiple input sources, content scheduling, scaling, and screen splitting.

  • What’s a video processor and do I need one?

    A video processor is a device that converts, scales, and routes video signals to your LED wall. It enables source switching, image scaling, and custom layouts. Larger or more complex walls (especially with mixed content) will typically require one.

  • What brightness levels should I consider?

    Indoor LED walls usually range between 800 – 1,500 nits. Outdoor walls require higher brightness typically 5,000 – 10,000 nits to remain visible in sunlight. Environments with ambient light (like retail windows) may benefit from higher indoor brightness too.

  • How do LED walls handle color and image quality?

    Modern LED walls feature 14–16 bit color processing, wide color gamuts, HDR support, and high refresh rates (3,840 Hz or higher) for smooth motion and rich color reproduction—even on camera. Calibration tools help maintain uniformity across panels.

  • What about control and monitoring?

    Many LED systems come with remote management tools that monitor power, temperature, performance, and content playback. Some models offer smart diagnostics and automatic alerts for failures or inconsistencies—important for mission-critical and outdoor signage.

  • What size LED wall do I need?

    It depends on your space, viewing distance, content resolution, and application. Our team can recommend an optimal configuration based on pixel pitch, screen dimensions, and desired impact.

  • New List What are the power and electrical requirements?

    Power needs vary by pixel pitch, brightness, and total display area. Most panels operate on 100–240V AC, but larger installations may require dedicated circuits, surge protection, and power distribution units. Our team will help you assess and plan accordingly.

  • What kind of maintenance is required?

    LED walls are low-maintenance but benefit from routine visual inspection, dust cleaning, firmware updates, and temperature monitoring. Modular design makes it easy to replace individual parts like modules, power supplies, and receiving cards.

  • How long do LED panels last?

    High-quality LED panels can operate for over 80,000–100,000 hours—equivalent to 8–10 years of use—depending on brightness settings, usage cycles, and environment. After this, they will gradually dim rather than fail abruptly.

  • Can I rent an LED video wall instead of buying one?

    Yes. Rental LED walls are built for fast setup, teardown, and transport—ideal for live events, tours, expos, and temporary installations. We offer both short-term and long-term rental packages, with or without operators.

  • How much does an LED video wall cost?

    Costs vary widely based on size, pixel pitch, indoor/outdoor rating, installation complexity, and customization. Entry-level small setups might start around $10,000, while larger or higher-resolution systems can exceed $100,000. Fill out our quote form for a tailored estimate.
