No bulb to replace, no projector on the ceiling, and no reason to keep the room dark.
A projector in a house is a set of compromises you live with: a box on the ceiling, a bulb with a service life, a throw distance that dictates where the seating goes, and a picture that only looks right with the blinds shut. Media rooms end up dark not because anyone wanted a dark room, but because the projector demanded one.
An LED wall removes all four. It sits flat against the wall, it produces its own light, and it looks the same at two in the afternoon as at ten at night. The room goes back to being a room.
Every dimension below is published, not estimated. The full ladder of ten sizes is on the video walls page.
| Size | Dimensions | Cabinets | Pitch | Resolution | Area | Weight | Closest viewing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I-1 | 5'11" × 3'4" | 3 × 3 | 1.2 mm | 1440 × 810 | 20 sq ft | 103 lb | 4 ft |
| I-2 | 7'10" × 4'5" | 4 × 4 | 1.2 mm | 1920 × 1080 | 35 sq ft | 183 lb | 4 ft |
| I-3 | 11'10" × 6'8" | 6 × 6 | 1.5 mm | 2304 × 1296 | 78 sq ft | 413 lb | 5 ft |
Tell us your seating distance and the wall you have in mind. Those two numbers pick the size and the pitch.
In most rooms, yes. There is no bulb to replace, no ceiling mount, no throw-distance constraint on your seating, and no need to darken the room. A projector still wins on cost per inch at very large sizes, so above about 15 feet wide the maths shifts.
At 0.93 mm pitch, comfortably from about 3 feet. At 1.2 mm, about 4 feet. Home theatre is the one application where we routinely specify the finest pitches, because the seating is close and fixed.
For film, keep your seating within about eight times the screen height. Most media rooms take our I-1 at 5'11" x 3'4" or the I-2 at 7'10" x 4'5", which is also exactly 1920 x 1080. Larger rooms take the I-3.
No, and that is the point. It emits its own light, so it holds up with the blinds open and the lamps on. You can use the room in daylight without the picture falling apart.
