Planning an LED wall for a church sanctuary

Start from the back row

In a sanctuary, the screen must serve the farthest seat. A practical rule: the image height should be at least one sixth of the distance to the last row. A 60 ft room needs a picture about 10 ft high for readable lyrics.

Pitch for worship spaces

Most congregations sit 15 ft or more from the stage, so 1.9–2.97 mm is the sweet spot. Choose finer pitches only when the screen also feeds cameras for live streaming at close range.

Placement and structure

A central wall above the stage, or two side walls plus a centre screen, are the common layouts. Check the wall or truss load early: lightweight die-cast cabinets weigh 15–20 lb each, and the structure must also carry the power and data runs.

Camera-friendly settings

If the service is streamed, specify a refresh rate of 3,840 Hz or higher to avoid flicker and scan lines on camera, and plan brightness around 600–1,000 nits indoors so faces on stage are not washed out.

Volunteer-friendly operation

Volunteers should be able to switch sources and presets with one button. We deliver the processor pre-configured, label every input and train the team during setup.
