NYC Booth Displays: LED vs Projection in Tight Spaces

New York exhibit halls and hotels are space-constrained and fast-turn. If you are deciding between an LED wall and projection for a small booth, start with the room light and your content.

Space and power matter in NYC. A ground-supported LED wall requires base plates and a small footprint behind the wall; a flown wall can free floor space but needs rigging approvals.

Consider setup speed and risk. LED tiles are modular; a bad tile can be swapped, and calibration can be redone without losing the day. Projection may fit tighter budgets but requires more setup space.

Compare projection vs LED for small booths.

Q: Which is better for small NYC booths, LED or projection?

A: LED for bright aisles and tall content. Projection for controlled rooms and single canvases on tighter budgets.

Q: What about power?

A: LED walls may need 208V three phase. Single projectors can run on a dedicated 20A circuit when brightness allows.

Q: Can I fly an LED wall in NYC hotels?

A: Often yes with approvals. Ground support is the simpler default when rigging is limited.
