How accurate is this LED wall calculator?

The panel count, pixel resolution, weight, and power draw are accurate within rounding. The cost estimate is a daily panel-rental anchor in Los Angeles and does not include crew, processing, trucking, content, or power distribution — typical total cost runs 1.5x to 2x the panel figure.

What pitch should I choose for my event?

1.9mm for broadcast, corporate keynotes, virtual production — anywhere viewers sit under 8ft. 2.6mm for most indoor events. 3.9mm for concerts and stages where the crowd is 15ft+ away. 5.9mm only for outdoor or huge IMAG walls.

Why is the minimum viewing distance important?

Inside the minimum viewing distance the individual LEDs become visible to the naked eye, which breaks the illusion of a continuous image. On camera, fine-pitch panels below their minimum distance create moire unless you dial ND filters and camera distance carefully.

Reality check. These numbers are rounded to real-world panel and processor SKUs. The rental anchor is a day-of-week-adjusted LA average as of 2026; weekend / festival dates, curved configurations, and on-camera color workflows add 10–40%. Email the spec and we'll come back with a fixed quote.

Pitch = distance from crowd

Pixel pitch is the distance between the center of one LED and the next, in millimeters. Smaller pitch = sharper image, higher cost, closer viewing distance required. Pick the biggest pitch you can get away with — a 3.9mm wall at 30ft looks identical to a 1.9mm wall at 30ft and rents for a third of the price.

Native resolution ≠ content resolution

The wall outputs its native pixel grid. Your content should be authored at or above that resolution and scaled down — never up. For broadcast/camera work, author at 4K minimum and frame-slice with disguise or a media server.

Panel × processor × power × crew

Bare panel rental is about half the total. Processing (Brompton SX40, NovaStar MX40), cable, riggers, content operator, and distro are the other half. A 20ft×10ft wall is a two-engineer day: one on processing, one on rigging and panel health.
