Benefits of using LED walls and stages together

Designing the Perfect Stage Setup with LED Walls
If you’re looking for ways to level up your event stages, here are some good reasons why you should consider LED screens on your next showcase:
 
  • Keeping your audience engaged. Do you want to keep your audience’s eyes and ears glued to the stage? A good way to do that is to get a stunning LED video wall rental that will capture their attention, giving your event maximum appeal.
  • Showing different kinds of content. With a large / giant LED wall, you can show video, images, presentations, live feeds, and every kind of multimedia content imaginable. This makes LED screens a versatile tool for any type of event, be it a formal conference or an intimate wedding.
  • Adding a touch of sophistication. A high-definition LED screen can bring your live event production to a whole new level by giving it a modern ambiance. After all, this is the same technology that big brands and organizations use for their own events at the national level.
  • Perfect for indoor and outdoor venues. Wherever your venue is, there’s an LED wall that fits your event! You can choose from indoor LED wall rental or outdoor LED wall rental, depending on your venue and your goal for the display. At Rent For Event, we also offer a mobile LED wall rental mounted on a trailer or truck that can be easily driven into any venue – making it totally convenient to set up and tear down.
  • Excellent visibility. LED walls offer better visibility compared to projector & screen rental, especially if you’ll use it outdoors and under direct sunlight. Also, it offers a bigger and wider screen than the usual TV & monitor rental that you can also get from us.
  • Highly customizable for all stage sizes. Whether you’re doing a concert stage setup or a smaller stage for a trade show, we can customize your LED screen with ease. This makes LED walls a great choice as a backdrop, whatever your theme, event type, or venue is.

Expert tips for effective LED stage design

Of all the AV equipment for stages, LED screens can be your most powerful tool in boosting audience impact and engagement. Here are some tips that our AV specialists would like to share if you’re planning to set up an LED wall at your next event:

1.  The LED wall and stage should have the same length.

It’s important to factor in the LED wall size when choosing a stage for your event and vice versa. This way, the two elements will match each other and deliver the best visual appeal to the audience at all times.
 
For example, we always recommend the stage and LED wall to have the same length. It’s because an LED wall smaller than the stage would look underwhelming, while one that’s bigger than the stage will overwhelm your audience and the resource speakers.
 
Our rule of thumb is that if you have a 30-foot wide stage, your LED wall should also be 30 feet wide as well. This way, your LED screen will serve as a backdrop and make the entire stage look sophisticated.

2.  Make sure you have the right aspect ratio

Some LED walls don’t fall within the standard 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio. In this case, it’s important that your content is crafted in a way that matches the LED wall you want to have on stage.
 
By matching the aspect ratio of your content to the aspect ratio of the LED wall, you won’t have ‘black bars’ onscreen. These black bars appear on the top, bottom, and sides when the content ratio is bigger or smaller than the screen itself.
 
Also, you should know the resolution of your LED screen so you can prepare content that will be clearly displayed. After all, you wouldn’t want to show blurry or distorted images to your audience – this is a quick way to kill their attention.
 
So, aside from getting the right equipment, you should also plan for video production to ensure that you’ll maximize every one of your stunning displays.

3.  Get sturdy and durable trussing

Your LED wall on stage is built into a system of trusses, spacers, and bolts to keep it in place. It’s very important that you get a sturdy and durable trussing system to ensure that your LED wall will be snugly installed.
 
This is even more important if there will be performances or high foot traffic onstage, which can cause a lot of vibrations or movement on your setup.

4.  Ensure every panel is leveled

LED screens are made up of multiple panels attached together to create a custom display. This allows us to customize your screen in any size, shape, or form that you want.
 
And when it comes to using LED walls on stage, it’s very important that each panel layer is leveled. It should be leveled right at very first row, otherwise, you won’t be able to have a flat display, which will impact image quality.

5.  Get a matching lighting setup

Aside from getting the best stage and LED wall, you shouldn’t forget about professional stage lighting design as another crucial element of your overall event ensemble. This will add a more dramatic and aesthetic effect to your stage, which complements the LED screen very well.
 
Aside from that, custom event lighting rental will also set the mood of your event while adding character to the stage, so it doesn’t look flat with just the house lights on.
 
At the same time, proper lighting will drive the audience’s attention to the stage where the program happens – ensuring high engagement and impact.
 
Aside from stage lighting, you can also get additional venue lights like uplighting rental to add an aesthetic touch to the place.

Other ways to use LED video walls for events

Designing the Perfect Stage Setup with LED Walls
Aside from being the focal point of your stage design, you can also maximize LED screens in other ways, including the following:

1.  Live feed

You can pair your LED wall with a live streaming setup to show your social media feed, camera shots, and real-time interactions with your audience. This will make your event more interactive and interesting, especially during breaks when your audience will be unoccupied.
 
Overall, this will add a sense of entertainment to your event, not to mention that you can also use this live feed for announcements or directions.

2.  Gamification setups

You can also set up smaller and multiple LED screens on your venue to add gaming elements that will keep your audience engaged. You can do quizzes, polls, and other interactive games that suit your type of event and theme.

3.  Advertisements and promotions

If your event has sponsors, you can also set up an LED screen to show their advertisements and promotions as well as a way to boost your own brand’s exposure.
 
Overall, this is a great strategy for product launches, trade shows, and experiential events if you want to capture the attention of your target audience.

How to choose the best LED wall for your stage

Unsure about what LED wall suits your event stage? Here are some aspects our AV specialists will discuss with you when selecting the right display:
  • Viewing distance. First, we have to know the viewing distance between your audience and the LED wall on stage. This way, we can recommend the ideal pixel pitch and resolution that will deliver the best viewing experience.
  • Brightness. Next, we have to consider how many nits of brightness you need to achieve the best display. For this, we have to ask whether your venue is indoor or outdoor, as ambient lighting will have a great impact on the LED wall’s visibility.
  • Stage size. As we’ve mentioned earlier, stage size is a crucial consideration when designing your LED wall. We provide multiple options to help you pick the best design, so you don’t have to worry about the technical aspect.
  • Content type. We will also ask you about the type of content you’re planning to show and if you already have something prepared. For custom LED walls, it’s always best to settle the aspect ratio and screen specifications before producing your content. This way, you’ll guarantee that the content will appear nicely on your screen.
  • Installation site. For indoor events, setting up an LED screen is usually a total breeze. However, if you have an outdoor venue, we will have to double-check the power source, environment, and lighting to see what LED display will be best.
