Frequently Asked Questions

LED video walls have become the gold standard when it comes to displaying video images to your audience. They are brighter than projectors and have a far superior picture. The resolution is much better than projectors.

LED walls are made up of many tiles in a frame with single LED’s emitting red, green, and blue colors. A controller is necessary to display images on the wall. These walls are just like the ones you may be familiar with at concerts, or sports stadiums. They come in different models for both indoor and outdoor. They are not interchangeable.

Brightness, resolution and clarity. Most can be seen in daylight or very bright room light. The resolution is dependent on the number of LED’s per panel and the pixel pitch, how close together are the LED’s. The higher the number in reference to dot pitch the less quality. In other words, a pixel pitch of 2.6 is far superior to a pixel pitch to 4.8 or say 10. These numbers refer to the distance in mm from one LED to the other. The closer the LED’s are to each other the better.

A couple of key points come to mind. First there are two ways to use these. You can either ground support them or fly them in the venue. Weight is a huge factor either way. If you fly them, there has to be sufficient structure that is load rated to carry the weight ranging from several hundred pounds to a couple of thousand pounds. You must know the venue requirements in advance. Floor support can also be achieved with supports and counter weights.

You can display any image just like a projector but you get a much clearer image. Images such ad photographs, graphics, videos, PowerPoint all can be displayed. While LED walls can be configured in different shapes and sizes, you must always consider the aspect ratio when developing the content for display.
