"How much does an LED display cost?" is the first question every buyer asks, and the honest answer is: it depends on the pixel pitch, the specification behind it and the project size. This guide gives the real numbers we work with, so you can plan a budget before asking for a quotation.
One thing to understand before comparing any quotes: LED displays are OEM products. Every project has its own specification — pitch, brightness, refresh rate, cabinet material, protection level and structure — and the final price follows that specification. A US$200 per m² screen and a US$600 per m² screen can look identical in a photo; the difference is in the components inside.
These are the six factors that move the price of a LED video wall up or down. When you compare quotes from different suppliers, compare these six lines, not just the total.
| Factor | How it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Pixel pitch | The No. 1 cost driver. A P1.25 fine pitch screen packs 640,000 LED dots per m² — eight times more than a P3.5 screen — so every finer pitch step raises cost sharply. |
| Cabinet material | Die-cast aluminum cabinets are lighter and flatter than steel, and cost more. Rental screens need magnesium or aluminum for frequent touring. |
| Brightness | Outdoor screens need 5,000 nit or more to beat sunlight, which means higher-power LEDs and power supplies than an indoor 1,200 nit wall. |
| Refresh rate | Screens for TV cameras and video need a 3,840 Hz refresh to stay flicker-free on camera; basic 1,920 Hz panels cost less. |
| Protection | Outdoor screens need IP65 sealing on the front face against rain and dust. Sealed modules and waterproof cabling add material cost. |
| Shape | Custom projects — spheres, cylinders, stair treads, floor panels — carry engineering cost for curved structures and custom module layouts. |
| Series | Pixel pitch | Position in the US$200–600 range |
|---|---|---|
| Fine pitch fixed | P0.95–P1.875 | Top of the range — P0.95 COB packs 1,137,778 dots per m² |
| Indoor fixed | P2–P3 | Middle of the range |
| Rental (3,840 Hz) | P1.95–P5.95 | Middle of the range, with magnesium cabinets at the higher end |
| Outdoor fixed | P2.5–P10 | Entry to middle — larger pitches cost less per m², viewing is farther |
| Special shape | Custom | Quoted per project — spheres, floors, film screens and stair systems |
The per-square-meter price covers the LED modules and cabinets. A complete installation budget has five parts:
1. LED screen — modules, cabinets, power supplies and receiving cards.
2. Control system — sending card, video processor and cabling; budget roughly US$500–2,000 depending on wall size.
3. Structure and installation — steel frame, wall attachment or roof structure, plus labor.
4. Freight and duties — sea freight for large orders, air freight for rush orders.
5. Spare parts — GTECH ships 1–3% spare modules with every order at no extra charge, so year-one maintenance is already covered.
Send three numbers and you will get a usable quote within 24 hours: the screen size (width × height in meters), the closest viewing distance, and the application (indoor, outdoor, rental, on-camera). With those three, an engineer picks the pixel pitch — the 1 mm = 1 m rule in our viewing distance chart does most of the work — and prices the right specification.
Production takes 5–20 days depending on size and specification, rush orders are available, and every screen ships with a 5-year warranty.
The price questions buyers ask most before ordering an LED display from GTECH.
One square meter. A 1 m² sample order is a normal way to test our quality before a larger project.
It is the factory-direct range for a specified screen. Every LED display is an OEM product, so the final price follows your specification — pitch, brightness, refresh rate, protection and structure. Send your project details for an exact quotation.
5–20 days depending on size and specification, and rush orders are available for deadline projects.
Five years. Spare modules at 1–3% of the order quantity ship free with every screen.
Send your screen size and viewing distance — GTECH engineers reply with a quotation within 24 hours.
