Are you worried about choosing an LED screen venue? A large screen is installed in the atrium of the shopping mall but no one is watching it? Are there always complaints about reflection after installation in the gymnasium? Don't worry, today we will talk about these practical pain points - choosing a venue is much more important than choosing a screen model. Getting the location wrong will waste hundreds of thousands every minute!
How much does mismatching scenes cost?
Last year, a commercial complex installed a small-pitch screen in the elevator shaft. As a result, the average number of viewers per day was less than 200, but the electricity bill increased by 23,000 per month. This tells us: Site characteristics determine equipment selection . There are three main dimensions to consider:
Here’s a little trivia: the screen installed in front of the glass curtain wall must be chosen Anti-glare treatment model, otherwise you won’t be able to see the content clearly on a sunny day. As we always say, money spent on screens should be spent wisely.
Comparison table of five golden positions
| mall atrium | sports venues | subway passage | Office building lobby | outdoor plaza | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best screen type | Curved transparent screen | fence screen | bar screen | interactive signage | Windproof large screen |
| Installation height | 3-5 meters above the ground | Grandstand guardrail | 2.2 meters at eye level | Service desk side | middle part of building facade |
| Brightness requirements | 800-1200cd/m² | Starting from 4500cd/m² | Automatic dimming system | 500cd/m² | 6500cd/m²+ |
| cost trap | Curved seams | Insufficient level of protection | Dust accumulates quickly | Touch false trigger | Steel structure load-bearing |
Let’s focus on outdoor scenes: many projects focus on windproof design. For example, an advertising screen in a coastal city was overturned by a typhoon six months after it was installed. Later, tests found that Wind pressure calculation was undercalculated by 30% . Industry standards now require resistance to wind force level 14, which depends on whether the screen structure has reinforced ribs.
Tips for saving money on concealed projects
When you're on a tight budget, these three tips can save you 20%:
When we helped a client renovate an old shopping mall last year, we discovered that the original light boxes could be directly retrofitted with LED screens, saving RMB 120,000 in structural modification fees. Here's a trick: The passing rate of the old foundation load-bearing test must reach 120% , don’t cut corners to save money.
How to control operation and maintenance costs?
Let’s talk about a real case: For four large screens installed at an airport, the three-year electricity bill was actually more expensive than the screens themselves! The problem is that I didn’t look at it when selecting the model. Energy efficiency level . This is what smart people do now:
Data shows that using LED screens with intelligent power-saving systems can reduce operation and maintenance costs by 38% in five years. Especially for those commercial screens that need to be turned on 24 hours a day, the difference in electricity bills is enough to buy half a new set of equipment.
Now you should understand that choosing a venue is not about just filling in wherever there is space. Just like looking for a partner, you can't just look at looks, you have to look at whether they are a good fit. When planning a project next time, remember to take a laser rangefinder to check the site data thoroughly - after all, it is worse to have a good screen in the wrong place than a bad screen in the right place! The latest industry report points out that the demand for indoor LED venues is expected to grow by 23% in 2024, but 30% of projects still have site selection errors. Is this data shocking enough?
