LED wall configurator: plan your LED wall in 5 minutes

Size depends on the available surface and the viewing distance. As a guide: the further away your audience stands, the larger the surface has to be for content to stay legible. Because an LED wall is built from identical modules, only dimensions made up of whole modules are possible — the configurator automatically rounds your input to the nearest achievable size.

Pixel pitch is the distance between two pixels in millimetres. P2.5 means there is a pixel every 2.5 mm. Rule of thumb: from a viewing distance in metres matching the pitch number, pixels merge into a closed image. At 4 m, P3.9 to P4 makes sense; at 1.5 m, rather P1.5. A finer pitch than necessary costs money without a visible benefit.

A mesh LED is a lightweight LED net with a large pixel pitch — typically P25 to P31 — that you can see through. It weighs a fraction of a solid LED wall, lets light and wind pass and drapes softly like a curtain. It is used on glass façades, in atriums, as a stage curtain and anywhere see-through has to be preserved.

The configurator calculates the timeframe for your specific configuration and breaks it down into quotation, planning, production, factory test, delivery, installation and commissioning. Larger surfaces and mounting types requiring construction work — such as flush mounting or façade installation — extend the schedule accordingly.

That depends on surface area and construction type. The configurator calculates average and maximum power draw, derives the current from it and states how many protected circuits are required. Sizing is always based on maximum draw at a fully white image, not on the average.

For wall mounting, flush mounting, suspension, façade and curtain installation, proof is required that the wall or substructure carries the load. The configurator gives you total weight and load per metre. We handle the actual certification during planning.

No. All values are planning guide figures based on typical characteristics of the respective construction type. The binding quotation is prepared project-specifically — depending on series, mounting situation, accessories and on-site conditions.

The configurator deliberately shows no price. Cost depends on pixel pitch, surface area, construction type, mounting method and accessories — the same surface lands in entirely different brackets depending on the pitch. You receive a project-specific quotation from us based on your configuration. We explain what drives the price on our page about digital signage costs.

The weight follows from the surface area and the weight per square metre of the chosen construction type. The smartenic LED wall configurator multiplies the two and additionally reports the load per metre of wall width — the substructure is sized from that figure, not from the total weight. Transparent mesh nets weigh a fraction of a solid LED wall; outdoor walls are heavier than comparable indoor walls because of their housing and weather protection.

The smartenic LED wall configurator is free, needs no registration and is entirely non-binding. The finished configuration can be shared as a link, downloaded as a text datasheet and printed or saved as a PDF — meant for aligning internally before an enquiry goes out.

It converts the wall's maximum power draw into amperes at 230 V mains voltage and distributes that current across circuits that continuously carry at most 80 % of a 16 A fuse — roughly 12.8 A per circuit. Sizing is always based on maximum draw at a fully white image, never on the average in normal operation. The resulting number belongs straight in the electrical plan, because it determines how many supply lines have to be run to the wall.

The configurator divides the wall's total pixel count by 650,000 pixels per sending-card port and rounds up to whole ports. The result tells you how many outputs the sending card and video processor must have as a minimum. Knowing that figure before selecting the control hardware means choosing the processor to suit the wall — rather than the wall to suit the processor you already own.

An LED wall releases practically all the power it draws into the room as heat. The configurator therefore converts the maximum power draw in watts into BTU per hour using a factor of 3.412 — the unit in which ventilation and air-conditioning planning sizes the cooling load. In enclosed spaces such as control rooms, meeting rooms or window recesses this is the value that belongs in the plan early, because ventilation can only be retrofitted through construction work.

The configurator covers seven mounting types: wall mount, flush installation, floor stand, mobile trolley, suspension, façade mounting and hanging curtain. A structural check is required for the variants fixed to a wall, ceiling or façade — wall mount, flush installation, suspension, façade and curtain. Floor stand and trolley carry their load through their own floor frame and need no separate check. Whether a check is needed therefore depends on the mounting type, not on whether the wall stands indoors or outdoors.

The configurator comes from smartenic (smartenic s.r.o.), a manufacturer of professional digital signage displays and LED video walls headquartered in Bratislava with an office in Vienna. smartenic develops its hardware itself and is not a reseller — so the quotation for the configured wall comes directly from the manufacturer rather than through an intermediary.
