How Much Does a Custom LED Screen Cost?
A clear, honest price guide — per square metre ranges, the full cost breakdown and a worked example — then send your spec for a real factory-direct quote.
A custom LED screen does not have a single price — it is quoted by area and specification. This guide gives realistic per-square-metre ranges, explains the full cost (not just the panel), and works through a common 8×12 ft example so you can budget before you ask for a quote.
The numbers below are planning ranges, not a fixed quote. Send your size and spec and EKINTRY returns an itemised, factory-direct price in your currency, shipped worldwide.
Who custom screens are for
- Buyers budgeting a screen and comparing quotes.
- Anyone searching a specific size or spec price (e.g. 8×12 ft).
- Event, retail, signage and project buyers planning spend.
- Integrators preparing client proposals.
Price ranges per square metre
As a planning guide (indicative, by pixel pitch and quality):
- Indoor LED — ~US$400–1,500/m² (fine-pitch up to ~US$3,000/m²).
- Outdoor LED — ~US$380–1,800/m² depending on brightness and IP rating.
- Transparent LED — ~US$600–2,600/m².
- Pixel pitch is the biggest single driver — finer pitch = more LEDs = higher cost.
The full cost — not just the panel
A screen quote is a system, not only the modules:
- LED modules and cabinets (the largest part).
- Controller / processor and content system.
- Mounting, installation and commissioning.
- Export packing, shipping, taxes and spares.
Worked example — an 8×12 ft screen
An 8×12 ft screen is about 2.44 m × 3.66 m ≈ 9 m². At a mid indoor pitch around US$700–1,200/m², the panels alone fall roughly in the US$6,000–11,000 range, before controller, mounting, shipping and taxes. A finer pitch or outdoor build raises this; a coarse outdoor pitch lowers it. Use it as a sense-check, not a quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an LED screen cost per square metre?
Indicatively about US$400–1,500/m² indoor (fine pitch higher) and US$380–1,800/m² outdoor, with pixel pitch the biggest driver. Send your spec for an itemised quote.
What is the biggest cost factor?
Pixel pitch. A finer pitch packs far more LEDs per square metre, so it costs more to manufacture than a coarse pitch of the same size.
How much is an 8×12 ft LED screen?
An 8×12 ft screen is about 9 m². At a mid indoor pitch the panels are roughly US$6,000–11,000 before controller, mounting and shipping. Finer pitch or outdoor raises it. We confirm with a real quote.
Is installation and shipping included in the price?
Per-m² ranges are usually panels only. A full quote adds the control system, mounting, export packing, shipping and taxes — we itemise these.
Why do two quotes for the same size differ so much?
Usually pixel pitch, LED quality and indoor vs outdoor. A like-for-like comparison needs the same pitch, brightness and spec.
What do you need to give me a price?
Size or area, pixel pitch (or viewing distance), indoor/outdoor, application and delivery country.
