LED video walls, made in India.

What an LED video wall is.

An LED video wall is one large screen built from small LED modules. Each module is a circuit board carrying a grid of red, green and blue LEDs; on the walls we build it is usually 320 × 160 mm. Modules fix onto cabinets, cabinets lock together into a wall of almost any size, and a controller takes your video, slices it and sends each piece to the right module. Because the modules butt edge to edge, there are no bezels.

The number that matters most is the pixel pitch: the distance in millimetres between the centres of two neighbouring pixels. P2.5 means 2.5 mm. A smaller pitch packs more pixels into the same area, so people can stand closer before they see dots, and it costs more. Matching it to your real viewing distance is the biggest decision on any wall.

LED video wall vs LCD video wall vs projector

Here is how the three usual options behave in a real shop, office or hall.

LCD still wins one job: operators reading small text from under 1.5 m all day. For anything seen from 2.5 m or more, or near a window, LED is the better wall. Full comparison: LED wall vs LCD video wall.

Indoor or outdoor?

Indoor and outdoor walls look alike in a photo but use different modules, cabinets, brightness and sealing. Choose by where the screen sits and what light it fights.

The grey zone is a screen inside a glass frontage that faces a bright street, such as a car showroom or a jewellery window. An indoor panel looks washed out there by afternoon; it needs an outdoor-grade panel of up to 4,500 nits. Our brightness guide explains how we decide. We do not sell indoor P3: for big halls seen from far away, indoor P2.5 is the coarsest indoor pitch we build.

The full pixel pitch range.

One rule of thumb does most of the work: the closest comfortable viewing distance in metres is roughly the pitch number (about 1 m for every 1 mm of pitch), and the picture looks its best from about twice that. Every PixelSpot pitch below runs at 3,840 Hz refresh or above.

Module pixels are for a 320 × 160 mm module. Ask every vendor to write the module resolution on the quotation: it is the fingerprint of the pitch. A board sold as P2.5 must carry 128 × 64 pixels; any other count means a different pitch. Not sure where you sit? Try the viewing distance calculator or read the pixel pitch guide.

How to choose your wall.

After the pitch come size, brightness, refresh rate, cabinet and controller.

Size

Start from the wall, not a screen size: measure the space you have and the distance to the nearest and farthest viewer. Walls are built in whole modules, so the finished size lands a little off a round number in feet; the quote states the exact module count. Pick the shape for the content: 16:9 for video, wide for stages and banquet backdrops, portrait for entrances and pillars.

Work out resolution and module count for any size with the LED wall size calculator.

Brightness

Indoor walls go up to 600 nits, which is more than a lit room needs; they usually run at 30 to 50% so the picture is comfortable and the LEDs last longer. Outdoor walls go up to 4,500 nits, which reads in daylight, and dim automatically after dark, when anything above about 500 nits is glare. For a west-facing shopfront in harsh afternoon sun, the site survey checks the angle and the shading before we fix the spec.

Refresh rate

Every PixelSpot wall runs at 3,840 Hz or above. Your eyes cannot see refresh rate, but phone cameras can: a low-refresh wall shows rolling bands on video. At 3,840 Hz it looks clean on camera, which matters at weddings, events and launches.

Cabinets: die-cast or MS front-service

Outdoor walls are always built on MS cabinets, sealed IP65 at the front and IP54 at the rear, never on die-cast. Compare them on LED cabinet frames.

Controllers: Huidu and Novastar

The controller takes HDMI, a USB stick or a network feed, and receiving cards in the cabinets pass each part of the picture to its modules. We fit Huidu as standard and Novastar on request; Novastar is the usual pick for very large, fine-pitch or live-event walls and costs more. The controller is sized to the wall's pixel count and shown as its own line on your quote.

PxlOS, our content software

PxlOS is PixelSpot's own content software. Run the screen from your phone: upload, schedule morning and evening playlists, change a menu in seconds and manage several screens from one account. Our team can also check the wall remotely, so many faults are diagnosed before anyone travels.

Curved, flexible and transparent LED

Curved and flexible LED surfaces that wrap columns or corners are built to order; see Curve LED or ask us. For transparent LED on a glass frontage, send us the glass size and a photo, and we will tell you honestly whether it suits your site.

What is inside a PixelSpot wall.

Two walls with the same pitch can be very different products. This goes into every wall we build.

• A-grade modules from one production batch, so colour stays even from edge to edge.
• 3,840 Hz refresh or above: no flicker, clean on camera.
• Polycab branded wiring throughout the cabinets.
• 60 A power supplies with cooling fans, so they run cool in a Bengaluru summer.
• Front-service cabinets available: modules come out from the face, with no service walkway needed behind.
• Huidu or Novastar controller, sized to your wall's pixel count.
• 5% spare modules, free, from the same batch and left on site, so a replacement never shows as a colour patch.
• Burn-in tested at our factory before dispatch. You can watch your wall run on a video call before it ships.
• Rated for where it lives: indoor cabinets IP43; outdoor IP65 at the front and IP54 at the rear.
• Module resolution and module count written on the quote, so you can check the pitch you are paying for.
• 2-year pixel-to-pixel onsite warranty, in writing, issued with the GST invoice.

How buying a wall works.

One team, from your first message to the day the wall is switched on, and after.

Installation, structure and service.

We mount on RCC or brick walls, build into recesses, hang from ceilings, and put up freestanding frames, fascias, poles and rooftop hoardings. The MS frame is fabricated at our factory from box-section steel to the surveyed dimensions and powder-coated. The crew is ours, trained at our factory; we have never subcontracted an installation. Read the day-by-day process on LED wall installation.

The quote also lists what sits with you: the mains cable to the wall point (run by your electrician to our specification), civil work, scaffolding above 4 m, and landlord, mall or local-authority approvals, for which we supply drawings and load calculations.

The 2-year pixel-to-pixel onsite warranty counts a single dead pixel as a valid claim. Modules, power supplies, receiving cards, the controller, the PxlOS player, cabinets and cabling are covered, and so are labour, travel and calibration. After two years, an AMC keeps the wall serviced, and LED wall repair covers faults outside warranty. See also what wears out and when and the power consumption guide.

Where we install.

Every wall is built in Bengaluru. Our own crew installs it, wherever it is going.
