How to Choose the Right LED Video Wall for Your Trade Show Booth

There is no just screen in your booth, but an LED video wall that would be the center of your brand. It makes attention grabbing, engagement inducing and it makes your images look bigger than they would otherwise. However, a correct one cannot be selected only by relying on the guesses of size and resolution. You will even have to consider pixel pitch, layout, brightness and even the logistics of mounting your display so that it appears sharp at all angles.

Here’s how to make a confident, technically sound choice for your next trade show.

Start with Viewing Distance and Pixel Pitch

Understanding pixel pitch

Pixel pitch measures the distance between LED clusters. The smaller the pitch, the sharper the image at close range. For most trade show booths:
• 1.5mm–1.9mm is ideal for high-detail, close-up visuals.
• 2.6mm is the sweet spot for typical 10×20 or 20×20 booths.
• 3.9mm+ is best for large-scale or outdoor displays.

 

Avoiding the “overkill” mistake

Many exhibitors assume smaller pitch equals better quality—but it’s not always necessary. For most audiences standing 6–15 feet away, a 2.6mm wall offers crisp resolution without overpaying for ultra-fine tiles.

How AVR Expos tailors recommendations

Our team analyses the size of booths, sightlines, and lighting conditions and recommends a set-up. We align technology with the real world requirements whether you are using INFiLED 2.6mm tiles to create an indoor booth or are using Unilumin 3.9mm to create an outdoor activation.

Mounting and Structural Considerations

Ground-supported vs. flown

Ground-supported walls save time and avoid rigging fees, while flown setups create eye-level visibility for large booths. AVR Expos designs both, ensuring compliance with venue regulations and weight limits.

Integration with exhibit structure

We coordinate directly with your exhibit fabricator to guarantee clean lines, balanced weight, and concealed cable paths. It’s what keeps your LED wall looking built-in, not bolted-on.

Processors and Playback Equipment

Why processors matter

We use Novastar processors (VX6s, VX1000, VX2000) for smooth scaling and redundancy. They handle multi-input content and ensure no single point of failure.

Playback and content switching

From PowerPoint decks to looping videos, AVR Expos pairs processors with ATEM Mini switchers, playback laptops, and fail-safe routing so transitions stay seamless on show day.

Optimizing for Ambient Lighting

Brightness calibration

Trade show lighting can easily wash out low-brightness walls. We calibrate brightness from 800 to 1,200 nits for indoor environments and up to 4,000 for outdoor setups.

Color uniformity

All walls are color-balanced using factory-calibrated profiles to ensure consistent tone across every tile.

FAQs

Q1: How do I determine the right pixel pitch?

A1: Measure your average viewing distance in feet and divide by 10. For example, 20 feet = 2.0mm pitch.

Q2: Can AVR Expos handle delivery and setup?

A2: Yes. We manage delivery, assembly, calibration, and teardown nationwide.

Q3: How long does setup take?
A3: A 16×9 LED wall usually installs in about 4 hours, depending on site logistics.
