The Benefits of LED Walls Over Traditional Large Screen Displays

We have all seen the footage of a large screen showing the band onstage at an outdoor gig. Bright enough to be seen even in daylight, but have you ever considered using LED walls for your corporate conference?

So ,what is an LED wall, and what are the advantages of using one over traditional large screen displays?

A video wall is a series of panels that are locked together to create one single display screen. Because of this modular approach they can be made in any size or shape.

Modern video walls use LED technology which is incredibly bright and has the ability to be used in the sort of brightly lit environments that projectors would struggle with.

Projectors also need distance between the screen and the projector. The larger the image, the more distance you need. But you have the disadvantage that you can’t stand in front of a front projected image, and if you rear project, you are taking up a lot of real estate in your chosen venue. An LED wall by comparison has not very much depth to it, and makes an excellent backdrop for stage presentations.

So its clearly ideal for corporate conferences, why is it not more widely used?

A wall will take quite a lot of time and manpower to build. Each panel slots to the next one, but in order to slot together properly it has to be on a very flat and level surface. It also weighs quite a lot, so that weight must be borne by a substantial support frame, or use winches to hoist it up onto a suitable structure.

Whilst each panel is quite small, you need lots of them, and that makes transportation a challenge, often needing trucks instead of vans, and all the additional cost and logistics that goes with that.

A single projector or monitor can be connected directly to a laptop, but with video walls that are not built to a standard size, you need additional video processors, and controllers to make the images fit the display surface

and of course all these factors add significantly to the cost.

That said, if you want the absolute best in high impact for your event, there really is nothing better than an LED wall.
