How to use the LED Wall Calculator
- Pick your cabinet size — 500×500 mm is the STENA standard; 500×1000 and 640×480 are also supported.
- Choose a pixel pitch (P1.9, P2.5, P2.6 or P3.9).
- Switch between measuring the wall in cabinets or in meters, then enter the width and height.
- Read off resolution, physical size, cabinet count, area, weight and power — all update live.
This LED wall calculator turns a panel spec into a full screen build. Pick your cabinet size (500×500 mm is the STENA standard), choose a pixel pitch, and enter the wall size either as a grid of cabinets or in meters. It instantly returns the total resolution, the physical size in meters and feet, the number of cabinets, the active area, and approximate weight and power.
How the numbers are calculated
Every LED wall is a grid of identical cabinets, so the math is exact once you know one cabinet:
- Resolution — pixels per cabinet = cabinet size ÷ pixel pitch. A 500 mm cabinet at P2.6 is about 192 px per side, so an 8×4 grid is roughly 1536×768 px.
- Physical size — cabinet size × the number of cabinets across and down, shown in meters and feet.
- Area — width × height in square meters, which drives both weight and power.
Weight and power assumptions
Weight and power depend on the specific panel, so we use reasonable indoor-SMD defaults and show them as approximations:
- Weight ≈ 7 kg per 500×500 mm cabinet (P2.6). Larger cabinets scale up proportionally.
- Power ≈ 150 W/m² average content, with a peak of about 500 W/m² on a full-white frame. Size your distro and generator to the peak, not the average.
These are planning figures. For a firm spec on a real event we quote the exact panels and rigging.
Cabinets vs. meters
You can't hang a fraction of a cabinet, so when you enter a size in meters we round to the nearest whole cabinet and flag it. If an exact physical size matters, work in cabinets and read the resulting meters back.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate LED wall resolution?
Divide the cabinet size by the pixel pitch to get pixels per cabinet, then multiply by the number of cabinets across and down. A 500 mm cabinet at P2.6 is about 192 px per side, so an 8×4 wall is roughly 1536×768 px.
How much does an LED wall weigh?
It depends on the panel, but a typical indoor 500×500 mm P2.6 cabinet is around 7 kg. Multiply by the total number of cabinets — a 32-cabinet wall is roughly 224 kg plus rigging.
How much power does an LED wall use?
Indoor SMD panels average around 150 W/m² on normal content and can peak near 500 W/m² on a full-white frame. Always size power distribution to the peak figure, not the average.
What pixel pitch should I choose?
Smaller pitch (P1.9, P2.5) means higher resolution and closer comfortable viewing, at a higher cost. P2.6 is a strong all-round choice for events and photo walls. Use the viewing distance calculator to match pitch to how close your audience stands.
What is a cabinet or module?
A cabinet is one physical LED panel that tiles with others to form the wall. STENA uses 500×500 mm P2.6 cabinets, so a wall size is just how many you place across and down.
