A video wall is a large-format display consisting of multiple individual screens or panels connected together to form a single large screen. It is often used in control rooms, at events, in shopping malls, or as advertising space.
There are following possibilities:
- LCD video walls: Consist of multiple LCD displays with a thin bezel.
- LED video walls: Consist of high-brightness LED modules with a nearly seamless transition.
- Projector-based video walls: Use multiple projectors, but are less commonly used.
A video wall is suitable for, among other things:
- Monitoring and control (e.g., control centers)
- Advertising and digital signage - Events, trade fairs, and stages
- Presentations and conferences
- Interactive applications (e.g., touch video walls)
The size is virtually unlimited – it depends on the number and size of the displays used. Common formats range from 2x2 to 10x10 panels or more.
The most crucial difference is:
- LCD video walls are cheaper and offer high resolution, but have visible bezels.
- LED video walls are brighter, more seamless, and better suited for long distances, but are more expensive.
With a so-called video wall controller or media server, which distributes content and enables layouts, zones, or picture-in-picture functions, for example. Software solutions for content management are also used.
Yes, regular maintenance is recommended – this includes cleaning, calibration, software updates, and occasional panel replacement in case of defects.
The overall resolution depends on the resolution of each individual panel and their arrangement. For example, a 4x4 video wall consisting of Full HD displays (1920x1080) results in 7680x4320 pixels.
Technically, it is possible, but not recommended. Different models or manufacturers can have different brightness, color values, frame widths, and response times, resulting in an inconsistent image. For a professional and consistent appearance, the same model should always be used.
The monitors can be installed in traditional grids (e.g., 2x2, 3x3) or in creative layouts (e.g., freely rotatable or asymmetrical). The selected software or controller must support such individual configurations. Careful planning in advance is important, especially for unconventional setups.
Professional mounts have fine adjustment options (height, depth, tilt, rotation). This allows the screens to be precisely aligned. For maintenance or replacement, many mounts offer a push-to-open function that allows individual monitors to be pushed out forward without dismantling the entire wall.
The monitors can be controlled via a video wall controller, a splitter, a matrix, or a special software solution. Depending on the system, the content is distributed either via daisy-chain connections (e.g., via DisplayPort or HDMI) or directly via a central control unit.
Yes, replacing individual panels is possible. An accessible mount with maintenance access is required. However, if possible, the identical model should be installed to avoid color and brightness differences. Obtaining identical panels can be difficult with older video walls.
There are special video wall mounts designed for precise alignment and ease of service. The following options are available:
- Rigid mounts for easy wall mounting
- Push-out mounts for front-mounted maintenance access
- Pop-out systems with fine adjustment in multiple levels
- Floor-standing or ceiling-mounted systems for freestanding or suspended installations
It is important that the mount matches the monitor size, weight, and grid layout.
It depends on the type, size, resolution, technology (LCD vs. LED), accessories, and installation. Smaller systems start in the four-digit range, while large, high-end systems can cost well over €100,000.
The bezel is the frame around each individual display. For video walls, a thin bezel is important to keep visible dividing lines between the screens as small as possible.
