LED wall calculator
Power, weight, rigging load, processors, ports, pixel pitch, viewing distance, and spares — for any LED panel and wall size. Type a cabinet, size the wall, get a spec a tech will actually sign off on.

What the LED wall calculator works out
Resolution & size
Panel count, total pixels, and physical width × height for any cabinet and wall.
Power draw
Average and max watts, amps, and the number of 20A / 30A circuits you need to feed it.
Weight & rigging
Hanging vs. ground-stacked weight, rigging load, and points — specs a rigger signs off on.
Processing & ports
Processor count and port/data mapping for the panel and wall you specify.
Pixel pitch & viewing distance
Native pitch, retina / optimal / minimum viewing distances for the room.
Spares & comparison
Recommended spare panels, and a side-by-side of two cabinets for the same wall.
How it works
- 1
Pick the panel
Type a cabinet name or pitch. The catalog fills in pixel pitch, size, weight, and power.
- 2
Size the wall
Enter panels wide × high (or a target size). The math updates live.
- 3
Get the spec
Power, circuits, weight, rigging, processors, ports, viewing distance, spares — ready to bid or hang.
Built on the same engine as Wavemist’s bidding platform — standards-based, deterministic, and honest about its limits (it flags when a flown wall needs a qualified rigger and an ANSI E1.21 sign-off).
LED wall calculator — FAQ
How do I calculate LED wall power?
Multiply each panel’s average power by the panel count for the running load, and its max power by the count for the worst case, then divide by your circuit voltage/amperage to get the number of circuits. The LED wall calculator does this automatically and tells you how many 20A circuits the wall needs at average and peak.
How much does an LED wall weigh?
Per-panel weight × panel count, plus rigging hardware for a flown wall. The calculator returns total weight, rigging load, and the number of points so a rigger can sign off — flown and ground-stacked are handled separately.
What pixel pitch do I need?
It depends on how close the audience sits: smaller pitch for close viewing, larger for far. Enter your room and the calculator returns the native pitch plus retina, optimal, and minimum viewing distances so you can match pitch to the space.
How many processors and ports does the wall need?
Each processor and port carries a fixed pixel budget; the calculator divides your wall’s total resolution across them and returns the processor count and a port/data map for the cabinet you chose.
Is the LED wall calculator free to use?
It’s open to every crew with no account required. It’s the same calculator that powers Wavemist’s bidding platform — used standalone here for the whole industry.
