Buy an LED Wall for a Sports Bar

The problem

Why the usual answer does not work.

The wall of televisions is a compromise nobody chose. It happened one screen at a time, and it leaves you with mismatched bezels, eight different colour temperatures, one remote per set, and a room where the best seat depends on which fixture you are nearest.

A single LED wall is one surface with one input. The main game runs large, four side games run in windows around it, and the whole thing changes layout between a Sunday afternoon and a Tuesday quiz without anyone climbing a ladder.

Sizing

How we size it.

The nearest stool sets the pitch

In a bar the closest viewer is the constraint, not the furthest. Somebody sitting six feet from the screen at the wrong pitch sees a grid. At 1.2 mm that comfortable minimum is about 4 ft, which clears any seat in the room. This is the one venue where we routinely specify a finer pitch than the size alone would suggest.

Size for the far corner, not the middle

Take the distance to the furthest booth and divide by six. That is your minimum screen height for general viewing. A 4 ft 5 in tall wall serves a room about 27 ft deep; 6 ft 8 in serves about 40 ft.

Native 1080p matters here

The I-2 is exactly 1920 × 1080. A broadcast feed lands on it pixel for pixel with no scaling, which is visibly sharper on fast motion — the one thing a sports room is judged on.

Sizes that fit

Every dimension below is published, not estimated. The full ladder of ten sizes is on the video walls page.

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

Questions

What people ask us.

Is an LED wall better than multiple TVs for a sports bar?

For the main viewing surface, yes. One wall means one input, one colour calibration and no bezels through the middle of the action, and you can run several games in windows on it. Televisions still make sense in corners and side rooms where a large surface will not fit.

What size LED wall for a sports bar?

Divide the distance to your furthest seat by six to get the minimum screen height. Most bars land on our I-2 at 7'10" x 4'5" or the I-3 at 11'10" x 6'8". Larger rooms take the I-4 at 15'9" x 8'10".

How close can customers sit to an LED wall?

At 1.2 mm pitch, about four feet before the pixel structure becomes visible. That clears the nearest bar stool in practically every room. Coarser pitches need more distance, which is why we specify fine pitch in bars.

Can we show multiple games at once?

Yes. The processor takes several sources and lays them out on one surface, with the main game large and the rest in windows. Layouts are saved and switched from a tablet.
