On the stage of modern concerts, LED screens can not only provide audiences with a rich visual experience, but also greatly enhance the overall effect of the performance. However, faced with a wide range of LED screen options on the market, how to choose the right size and what factors need to be considered before purchasing? This article will discuss these topics in detail.
What is the best size for concert LED screens?
First of all, it should be clear that the best size of concert LED screens is not fixed, it is affected by a variety of factors. As mentioned above, whether it is indoor or outdoor concerts, LED video walls size can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the venue, the number of audiences, the budget and the expected effect.
Small indoor concerts:
For small or medium-sized indoor concerts with less than 200 people, such as concert halls, theaters, etc. You can use a relatively moderate LED screen size to avoid giving the audience a sense of oppression. Generally speaking, a 7 feet x 12 feet screen (about 2.1 meters x 3.7 meters) to 12 feet x 18 feet (about 3.7 meters x 5.5 meters) is sufficient to meet the needs, which can clearly display the performance information without appearing too abrupt.
Concerts in medium-sized venues:
As the number of venues and audiences increases, you need a larger LED screen size to ensure that all audiences can clearly see the content on the screen. A 20-40 ft wide LED screen is not only suitable as a background for the main stage, but also as a display device for the side screen or DJ booth, adding more visual elements to the performance.
Large outdoor concerts:
For large outdoor venues with more than 500 people, such as stadiums, music festivals, etc., the concert LED screen size needs to be increased accordingly to ensure that audiences at a distance can also get good visual effects. At this time, 18 feet x 25 feet (about 5.5 meters x 7.6 meters) or even larger screens become the first choice. In addition, you can also consider using multiple LED screens to splice into a giant background wall to create a more shocking visual effect.
However, it is worth noting that with the advancement of technology and the reduction of costs, the super-large LED video walls for concerts has become more and more common in recent years. These giant screens can not only display high-definition video and real-time images, but also perfectly integrate with on-site lighting, sound and other systems to bring unprecedented immersive experience to the audience. You can buy more cabinets so that you can flexibly assembly different sizes for different concert occasions.
Factors to consider before choosing a concert LED screen
Before choosing the size of a concert LED screen, you should consider the following factors:
Pixel pitch and viewing distance
Pixel pitch refers to the distance between two adjacent pixels in an LED screen, which directly affects the clarity and viewing distance of the screen. Generally speaking, indoor concert LED screens often use P2.97 and P3.91 models, while outdoor concert LED screens often use P3.91 and P4.81 models.
As the pixel pitch gets smaller, the LED display becomes more delicate, but the cost also increases. At the same time, viewing distance is also a key factor in determining the choice of pixel pitch.
According to experience, when the audience is close to the screen (such as indoor concerts):
For example, 3 meters, you should choose a P2.97 LED screen with a smaller pixel pitch; and when the audience is far away (such as large outdoor concerts), for example, more than 5 meters, you can appropriately larger the pixel pitch requirements and choose a P4.81 LED screen.
Screen size and venue size
The concert LED screen size should be coordinated with the size of the venue to ensure that the screen can fully cover the audience’s field of vision without causing resource waste or visual disharmony. For large outdoor venues, the display area can be expanded by increasing the number of LED cabinets or using splicing technology; for small indoor venues, the contrast of the screen and the level of integration with the environment should be emphasized.
Budget and cost
Budget is one of the important factors that must be considered when choosing a concert LED screen. The prices of LED screens greatly vary different sizes, resolutions and configurations, so you need to make reasonable plans based on actual needs and budget.
While pursuing visual effects, you must also ensure that the cost is within an acceptable range. As mentioned above, if it is used for indoor concerts, your budget is sufficient, and the area is small, you can choose a P2.97 LED screen. If the budget is a priority, you can choose a P3.9 1 LED screen.
4:3 ratio or 16:9 ratio?
The choice of screen ratio mainly depends on your usage scenario and content requirements. Generally speaking, the traditional 4:3 ratio is more suitable for displaying static images and text information; while the 16:9 ratio is closer to the aspect ratio of modern high-definition video content, and is more suitable for playing videos and movie clips.
In concerts, due to the wide variety of content that needs to be displayed (including performance information, advertisements, real-time images, etc.), we recommend that you give priority to a 16:9 ratio LED screen. Of course, the specific choice also needs to be considered comprehensively based on factors such as stage layout and audience perspective.
Benefits of Using concert LED screens
The reason why concert LED screens are widely popular is mainly due to the many benefits they bring:
Improve visual experience
Concert LED screens can present high-definition and bright picture effects, bringing a more vivid and realistic visual experience to the audience. Whether it is a gorgeous stage background, a shocking special effects display or a real-time live broadcast, it can make the audience feel as if they are in the performance and enjoy an immersive feeling.
Enhance the performance effect
Concert LED screens can not only be used as stage backgrounds, but also be closely integrated with the performance content to form a unique visual effect. By playing video images or animation effects that match the music, the audience’s emotional resonance can be further stimulated and the overall effect of the performance can be enhanced.
Expand interactive space
With the continuous advancement of technology, concert LED screens also have more interactive functions. For example, through audience voting, barrage interaction, etc., the audience can be included in the performance process to form a closer interactive relationship.
