Video wall displays join several screens together to create one large, eye-catching image. They are used in flagship stores, shopping centres, corporate receptions, venues and control rooms where a single screen is not big enough.
What is an LCD video wall?
An LCD video wall is a grid of commercial displays with ultra-narrow bezels, mounted side by side. A video wall controller or the displays’ own tiling settings split content across the screens so it looks like one picture. Common layouts are 2×2, 3×3 and wide 4×2 walls.
Why bezels matter
The bezel is the frame around each screen. On a video wall, two bezels meet at every join, so the thinner they are, the more seamless the image. Video wall displays such as the Hisense VW25E series use ultra-narrow bezels for an almost seamless result.
The Hisense VW25E video wall range
- Hisense 46VW25E – 46-inch LCD video wall display for compact walls and tighter spaces.
- Hisense 55VW25E – 55-inch LCD video wall display with ultra-narrow bezels, Android 11 and 24/7 operation.
How to plan a video wall
- Viewing distance: decide how far away people will stand; this guides size and layout.
- Wall size and layout: measure the space and choose a grid, such as 2×2 for receptions or 3×3 for retail.
- Mounting: use a dedicated video wall mount with fine adjustment so screens line up perfectly.
- Content: design content at the full wall resolution, with key text away from bezel joins.
- Running hours and ventilation: walls that run all day need space for heat to escape.
Video wall or all-in-one LED?
LCD video walls are cost-effective and very sharp up close. For a completely seamless image with no joins at all, an all-in-one LED display such as the Hisense HAIO108DE, HAIO136DE or HAIO163DE may be better, especially for boardrooms and auditoriums.
Where video walls work best
- Retail flagships and shopping centres.
- Corporate receptions and brand experience centres.
- Control rooms and operations centres showing live data.
- Venues, stadiums and visitor attractions.
Video wall displays FAQs
How many screens do I need for a video wall?
Video wall displays are usually arranged in grids such as 2×2, 3×3 or 4×2. The right number depends on your wall size, budget and viewing distance.
What is the difference between a video wall and an LED wall?
An LCD video wall uses several narrow-bezel displays tiled together, so there are thin joins between screens. An LED wall is seamless, with no joins, but usually costs more.
Can video wall displays run all day?
Yes. Commercial video wall displays like the Hisense 55VW25E are designed for 24/7 operation.
Do I need a video wall controller?
Some video wall displays can tile content themselves. For complex layouts or multiple sources, a dedicated video wall controller or signage software gives more flexibility.
