Why won't suppliers publish LED display prices?

Because the specification genuinely changes the price several-fold, and a single headline figure would mislead more often than it helps. Pixel pitch alone can move a like-for-like wall by a factor of three. That said, the ranges are knowable, and a supplier who cannot give you a per-square-metre band before a survey is being evasive rather than careful.

What is the cheapest useful LED installation?

In Ireland, a single commercial display with a content management system starts from around €900 according to published rates from Intell Visual Displays. That is a screen, not a video wall. A genuine modular LED wall starts higher — Dynamo LED Displays in the UK publish complete walls from £8,900 before installation.

Is LED cheaper than reprinting static signage?

It depends entirely on how often you currently reprint. A venue changing printed signage six times a year is spending meaningfully on print already, and that recurring cost is what an LED wall displaces. Our running cost calculator sets the electricity cost against your actual reprint spend so you can see the net position rather than only the capital number.

What is usually missing from an LED quote?

The four we see most often are the electrical supply work, access equipment for the install, the initial content build, and a spares allowance from the same production batch. Ask explicitly about all four before comparing two quotes, because a quote that excludes them will always look cheaper than one that does not.

How long does an LED display last?

Panels are typically rated around 100,000 hours to half brightness, which is well over a decade at normal operating hours. In practice the limiting factors are the processor generation, spares availability, and whether the brightness was specified correctly for the environment in the first place — an under-specified screen run at full output ages considerably faster.

Cost Guide

What an LED display actually costs.

Almost nobody in this industry publishes prices. That is partly defensible — the specification really does move the number several-fold — and partly not, because it leaves buyers unable to sanity-check a quote before committing to five or six figures.

So this page collects what other suppliers do publish, quoted and attributed, and explains the eight things that move the price. It is a guide to the market, not a price list — including ours. When you want a number for your specific space, the wall planner will scope it in about a minute.

Published market rates

Every figure below was read from a named supplier's own public website in September 2026 — not from a search result about it. That distinction earned its keep: one widely-repeated “from $5,100” turned out to be $6,999 on the actual page, and two other suppliers we wanted to cite would not serve the request, so they are not quoted here at all.

These are not our prices, and they are not an “industry average”. They are what specific companies say in public, so you can check every one of them yourself.

The eight things that move the price

01Pixel pitch

The biggest single lever

Halving the pitch roughly quadruples the pixel count, and the price follows. A P1.5 wall can cost two to three times a P2.6 wall of identical size. This is where most budgets are lost — to sharpness nobody standing in the room can actually perceive.

02Area, in real cabinets

Steps, not a smooth curve

LED walls build from fixed cabinets, usually 500mm. A 3.7m wall is quoted as 3.5m or 4.0m, never 3.7m. Ask any supplier for the buildable size, not the size you asked for — this is the number that catches people out on fitting day.

03Environment

Roughly 2× between indoor and shop window

A screen facing out through glass into daylight needs around five times the brightness of the same screen hung indoors, plus better thermal management. Under-specifying brightness here is the most common and most expensive mistake in retail LED — the screen is unreadable by noon and cannot be fixed without replacing it.

04Structure and fixing

Typically 10–20% on top of panels

Wall-mount on a sound masonry wall is cheap. Suspended, curved, freestanding, or anything needing a structural engineer's sign-off is not. Curved and custom-entry builds carry bespoke framework, which is where the difference between a catalogue price and a real quote usually sits.

05Processing and control

A fixed cost, not per m²

Every wall needs a sending card, receiving cards and a processor sized to its resolution. A wall above 4K needs a considerably more capable processor than one below HD, which is why resolution matters to the budget even when the physical size does not change.

06Installation and commissioning

Often underquoted

Access equipment, power supply work, cable routing, calibration and content commissioning. A quote that omits the electrical supply and the first content build is not a quote you can compare against one that includes them.

07Content and CMS

The recurring one

Hardware is a one-off; content is not. Budget for the initial creative build and for whoever keeps it current. A screen running the same loop for eighteen months has stopped earning its capital.

08Spares and warranty

Around 3–5%

Buy spare cabinets and modules from the same production batch at the same time as the wall. LED bins drift between batches, so a module bought two years later can be visibly a different colour.

Before you compare two quotes

The cheapest quote is usually the one that leaves the most out. Ask every supplier — including us — to confirm in writing whether these are in or out:

The electrical supply. Who is running power to the location, and is a new circuit needed?
Access equipment. Scaffold, tower or MEWP for the install, and who is hiring it.
The buildable size. Not what you asked for — what the cabinets actually make.
The first content build. A screen with nothing on it is a very expensive mirror.
Spares, from the same production batch. LED colour bins drift between batches.
Who owns the CMS licence, and what it costs from year two.
