Exhibit LED Walls: What You Need to Know

When choosing your exhibit LED walls, be sure to review these important considerations with your AV partner.

If you’re considering using LED walls in your exhibit, you’re already well on your way to capturing the attention of attendees. However, not all LED walls are alike. Work collaboratively with your AV production partner to choose the LED walls that are right for your exhibit. For starters, we recommend that you can use the criteria described below.

Exhibit LED Walls: 5 Key Criteria

1. High Resolution and Brightness: LED walls can display high-resolution images and videos with a high level of brightness, making them highly visible from a distance.

High-resolution LED walls use arrays of individual light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to display images and video. Because LEDs are small and can be placed very close together, these walls can achieve a very high resolution, with a high number of pixels per square inch. Brightness in LED walls refers to the amount of light emitted by the individual LEDs. A high-brightness LED wall will have a higher level of luminosity, making the images and videos displayed on it more visible in well-lit or outdoor environments.

Key questions to review with your AV production partner:

• How close to other light sources will the LED wall be? When LED walls are near other lighting sources, the LED display may be problematic.
• Will the brightness of your exhibit LED walls be affected by other factors such as the viewing angle, contrast ratio, and color temperature?

2. Customizability: LED walls can be customized to display different content for different audiences or to highlight specific products or services. When discussing your exhibit LED walls project with your AV provider, you will probably want to review the following details.

• Size and Shape: LED walls can be made in a variety of sizes and shapes, allowing them to fit into different spaces and configurations

• Resolution: The resolution of LED walls can be customized to suit different needs. High-resolution LED walls can display very fine details and text, while lower-resolution walls may be sufficient for displaying larger images or videos.

• Brightness: The brightness of LED walls can also be adjusted to suit different lighting conditions. Some LED walls can be made very bright, making them suitable for outdoor or well-lit environments, while others may be dimmer, making them more suitable for indoor or darker environments.

• Color: LED walls can be made to display a wide range of colors, allowing for a more dynamic and vivid display.

• Pixel Pitch: The pixel pitch is the distance between the centers of two neighboring pixels and can be customized to meet different needs. As of the writing of this article, it can be as small as .6mm for high-resolution mission critical displays or as large as 16mm for bigger displays with lower resolution. Be sure your AV provider provides a pixel map and offers to test your content prior to arriving at the show. This assures you that your content matches your LED system and you won’t have to make that dreaded call to marketing for last-minute content adjustments.

• Control System: LED walls can be controlled by a variety of systems, including computer software, mobile devices, and even voice commands. This allows for easy customization and real-time adjustments to be made to the display.

3. Durability: LED walls are built to last and, with proper handling, can withstand the wear and tear of being used in a trade show environment. Here are some durability benefits of exhibit LED walls:

• Rugged Construction: LED walls are typically made with high-quality materials that are designed to withstand the wear and tear of regular use. This makes them well-suited for trade show environments where they may be assembled and disassembled multiple times.

• Heat Dissipation: LED walls are designed to dissipate heat effectively, which helps to prevent damage to the LEDs and other components. This makes them more durable in high-temperature environments.

• Water and Dust Resistance: Some LED walls are designed to be water and dust resistant, which can help to protect them from damage during transport, setup and can provide an ideal solution for outdoor applications.

• Easy Maintenance: LED walls are relatively easy to maintain, and their components can be easily replaced if they become damaged.

• Brightness and Color Consistency: LED walls have a high degree of brightness and color consistency which helps to maintain a good image quality even after a long period of use.

• Lightweight and Slim Design: LED walls are lightweight and slim design which makes them easy to transport and set up.

However, it’s important to note that the durability of LED walls can also be affected by factors such as the quality of the LED and other components used, as well as the level of training from your audiovisual provider. Rent from a reputable AV company to ensure that the LED walls are appropriate for the specific trade show environment and are professionally installed, maintained, and removed.

4. Energy Efficiency: LED walls are highly energy efficient, which can be a benefit for trade show exhibitors who are looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

5. Cost–Effective: LED walls can be cost-effective in the long run, as they have a long lifespan and low energy consumption. They also weigh less which may save on transportation and exhibit drayage charges.
