Choosing the right LED video wall for your event can completely transform the experience for your guests. Whether it’s a corporate function, exhibition, wedding, or live performance, LED screens bring energy, impact, and a professional visual edge that traditional displays simply can’t match.
At Hire A Video Wall, we supply indoor and outdoor LED walls across the UK, helping clients find the perfect display setup for their venue, audience, and content. Here’s everything you need to know before deciding which LED wall to hire.
Start with the Event Type and Venue
Every event space is different, and so is every audience. Before comparing screens or prices, think about what type of event you’re hosting and where it’s taking place.
- Corporate events and conferences: Indoor LED screens with a tighter pixel pitch (2.6 mm – 3.9 mm) deliver clear, crisp visuals that look professional on camera and in person.
- Weddings and private events: Medium-resolution LED walls (around 3.9 mm) provide an excellent balance for video montages, music performances and mood lighting.
- Outdoor events and festivals: Our outdoor-rated LED panels are weather-resistant, bright and durable, ensuring your visuals stay clear and vibrant even in direct sunlight.
If you’re unsure what works best, our team will assess your venue layout and recommend a setup that maximises visibility without overpowering the space.
Understand Pixel Pitch and Resolution
Pixel pitch refers to the distance between each LED pixel, measured in millimetres. It determines how sharp and detailed your image will appear.
- A smaller pixel pitch (e.g. 2.6 mm) offers higher image quality and smoother visuals up close.
- A larger pixel pitch (e.g. 6.9 mm) is better for large audiences and greater viewing distances.
As a general rule:
- For close-up indoor audiences, choose 2.6 mm – 3.9 mm.
- For larger outdoor audiences, 4.8 mm – 6.9 mm is more practical and cost-effective.
If your guests will be standing several metres away, there’s no need to pay for an ultra-fine pitch — we’ll guide you to the right balance between quality and budget.
Choose the Right LED Video Wall Size and Shape
The size and aspect ratio of your LED Video wall should match the space and content you’ll be displaying.
- 16:9 ratio screens are perfect for presentations, videos, and live camera feeds.
- Ultra-wide or custom configurations work well for panoramic backdrops, stage designs, and product launches.
- Curved and corner setups create immersive effects ideal for brand activations and exhibitions.
Our modular LED panels can be built to almost any size or shape. We’ll design the structure digitally before installation, so you know exactly how it will look on the day.
Think About Brightness and Environment
Brightness is one of the most important factors when choosing a video wall.
- Indoor LED walls typically range from 800 to 1500 nits.
- Outdoor LED walls can reach 3500 – 5000 nits or higher for daylight visibility.
Because all our LED Video walls are suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, we’ll simply adjust the configuration and brightness level to suit your venue’s conditions — whether it’s a conference hall or a summer festival stage.
Plan for the Content You’ll Display
Your choice of LED Video wall should always complement your content.
- Dynamic videos and animations: require smooth frame rates and high contrast.
- Presentations and live feeds: need precise colour accuracy and text clarity.
- Brand activations: often benefit from creative configurations or integrated motion graphics.
We can test your media in advance to make sure it’s formatted correctly and displays at the right resolution.

Our LED panels are engineered for flexibility — robust enough for outdoor use and refined enough for indoor displays. Each panel is lightweight, durable, and seamlessly interlocks with others to create stunning visuals in any setting.
