LED vs. LCD walls: the main differences
With LED video walls, seamless, flexible image surfaces without visible frames are possible, which distinguishes them from conventional LCD solutions. This makes it possible to create unusual formats such as curved surfaces or column cladding. LED walls achieve impressive brightness values of up to 10,000 nit, making them ideal for outdoor areas, even in direct sunlight.
LED displays also offer numerous other advantages. They are extremely flexible in their design and are not tied to the traditional 16:9 format, which enables creative installations. Their homogeneous image surface creates a continuous, high-quality viewing experience without interruptions. Thanks to automatic brightness control, the displays adapt to the lighting conditions of their surroundings at all times, ensuring optimum visibility.
LED walls offer a wide range of design options: They can be curved inwards or outwards, wrap around corners, be mounted on ceilings or floors and even be used in transparent form for indoor and outdoor areas. This opens up completely new design possibilities. The displays can be integrated into existing walls to save space and fit seamlessly into any environment.
Structure and components of an LED wall
An LED wall is made up of several cabinets and modules that are precisely connected. Each cabinet contains a power supply unit and is equipped with LED modules that are held in place by magnets or clips. A central video controller controls the system, switches it on and off and ensures pixel-perfect playback. Sensors can be used to automatically adjust the brightness to the ambient light in order to guarantee optimum image quality at all times.
The right LED wall for every application
LED walls are available in different versions, depending on the requirements and environment:
Standard LED walls: Designed for permanent indoor installations, these walls offer a reliable solution for permanent presentations.
Rental displays: These lightweight and modular displays are ideal for temporary applications and events and can be set up and dismantled quickly and flexibly.
Outdoor LED walls: Designed for outdoor use, they are weatherproof and particularly bright, making them ideal for publicly accessible outdoor areas.
The right pixel size and resolution
The image quality of an LED wall depends largely on the pixel size and the pixel pitch. A smaller pixel pitch ensures a higher resolution, which is particularly important for close-up views. For larger viewing distances, the pixel pitch can be selected correspondingly larger. Thanks to the wide selection of pixel pitches, we can find the right combination for every installation.
The importance of the video controller
A high-quality video controller guarantees the synchronization of the LED modules and ensures a smooth image display. Different controllers are used depending on the number of displays and the resolution and redundancy requirements. Modern models offer functions such as automatic brightness adjustment and HDR compatibility (High Dynamic Range) and enable excellent image quality.
In addition, LED controllers also monitor the displays. This enables continuous monitoring by our customers and our service team at auviso. This allows us to detect potential faults at an early stage in our service desk and intervene preventively to ensure maximum operational readiness.
Electrical and mechanical planning
Careful electrical and mechanical planning is essential and depends on factors such as the size, weight and number of modules. In addition to the power supply, the thermal concept and a statically tested substructure also play an important role in ensuring that the installation meets all requirements.
Professional installation and commissioning
Our service covers the entire installation process, from precise assembly to functional testing and calibration. We ensure smooth commissioning and thus guarantee the rapid operational readiness and long-term stability of your LED wall.
Maintenance and functional reliability
Regular maintenance is essential for sustainable operation, especially for system-relevant LED displays such as guest guidance at train stations or airports, in control rooms or for advertising displays. Modern maintenance software enables problems to be detected and rectified at an early stage, thus minimizing downtimes. Potential defects can be rectified easily via remote access or with the help of our service team.
LED video walls offer fascinating possibilities and maximum flexibility for creative image design and impressive visual presentations - a pioneering solution that inspires in a wide variety of areas.
