Custom Video Wall Cost: What Drives the Project Price
A video wall is more than panels — processor, rigging and spares all count. This page breaks down the cost of a custom LED video wall, with a worked example.
From US$100 — final price depends on your size, pixel pitch and finish. Contact us for an exact quote.
A custom LED video wall is priced as a project, not a product off a shelf. The panels are the biggest line, but the processor, mounting or rigging, spares and (for events) rental logistics all add up — and pixel pitch swings the panel cost dramatically.
This page breaks the video-wall cost into its parts, with a worked example and the rental-vs-buy question. For the standard product price by pitch and size, see our LED video wall page; for a project quote, EKINTRY prices yours factory-direct.
Who custom screens are for
- Event, stage, wedding and rental buyers.
- Churches, halls and auditoriums.
- Corporate lobbies and control rooms.
- Integrators costing a video-wall installation.
What goes into a video-wall cost
A working wall is a system. The cost is made of:
- LED cabinets and modules — the main cost, set by pitch and area.
- Receiving cards, processor/scaler and control software.
- Mounting structure or ground-support/rigging for events.
- Spare modules, power and signal cabling.
- Crating, shipping and (for rental) road cases.
Pixel pitch swings the price most
Pitch is the dominant lever: a P1.9 wall costs roughly 30–50% more than a P3.9 wall of the same size, because it packs far more LEDs per square metre. Choose the coarsest pitch your closest viewer can accept — see our viewing distance calculator — and you cut cost without losing visible quality.
Worked example — an 8×12 ft wall
An 8×12 ft wall is about 9 m². At a mid pitch around US$1,000/m², the panels are roughly US$9,000; processor, rigging, spares and shipping are added on top. A finer pitch raises it, a coarser pitch lowers it. We itemise every line.
Rental vs purchase
For one-off events, rental-style cabinets in road cases with quick-lock framing make sense; for a fixed install, a permanent mount is cheaper over time. Tell us which and we spec the right cabinet and structure.
Common mistakes to avoid
Where video-wall budgets go wrong:
- Costing panels only and forgetting the processor and rigging.
- Buying a fine pitch for a wall viewed from far back.
- Skipping spare modules, so a single fault means downtime.
- Underestimating structure, power and cabling for large walls.
| Pixel pitch | P1.9 ≈ 30–50% more than P3.9 |
|---|---|
| Panels (8×12 ft) | ~US$9,000 at ~US$1,000/m² (example) |
| Also includes | Processor, rigging, spares, shipping |
| Rental vs buy | Road cases vs permanent mount |

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a custom video wall cost?
It is a project cost: panels (set by pitch and area) plus processor, rigging, spares and shipping. An 8×12 ft wall at a mid pitch is roughly US$9,000 in panels before the rest — we itemise a full quote.
How much does pixel pitch change a video-wall price?
Significantly — a P1.9 wall costs about 30–50% more than a P3.9 wall of the same size. Pick the coarsest pitch your nearest viewer accepts.
What is the price of an 8×12 ft video wall?
About 9 m²; at ~US$1,000/m² the panels are roughly US$9,000, plus processor, rigging, spares and shipping. Send the pitch and country for a firm quote.
Should I rent or buy?
For one-off events, rental-style cabinets in road cases suit; for permanent use, a fixed mount is cheaper over time. We spec the right option.
What is often left out of a cheap quote?
The processor/scaler, rigging or mounting structure, spare modules and shipping — which can be a large share of the real cost.
Can you quote a full installed price?
We quote the wall, control system, spares and shipping factory-direct; installation is usually local with our documents and remote support.
