May 31, 2023 - Direct view LED (dvLED) display technology has revolutionized the digital signage industry, offering exceptional brightness, clarity, and vibrant colors. dvLED video walls have become increasingly popular in various settings, including retail stores, control rooms, entertainment venues, and corporate spaces.

To ensure a successful installation that maximizes the impact and performance of a dvLED video wall, it is essential to follow best practices. Here are some key considerations and best practices for dvLED video wall installations from Peerless-AV®.

Pre-Installation Planning

Proper planning is crucial to the success of any dvLED video wall installation. During this planning process, you’ll first need to conduct a site visit to assess the environment, space, viewing distances, lighting conditions, and any other variables. From there, collaborating closely with all partners involved in the installation is critical to ensure an understanding of all the requirements and specifics that will go into the installation.

Structural Considerations

The structural integrity and stability of the video wall mounting system are essential for a safe and secure installation. During an installation, it is important to ensure the mounting structure can support the weight of the dvLED video wall and any additional components. If access will be needed for maintenance or serviceability, this will be a major consideration to the structure as well. The location also plays a key part in structural considerations. If installed in a high-traffic or public area, consider American Disability Association requirements and implementing additional measures to prolong the life and safety of the video wall.

Maintenance and Support

To prolong the lifespan and performance of the dvLED video wall, proper maintenance and ongoing support are crucial. Be sure to inspect and replace displays as needed to extend the life of the video wall and prevent further issues. Also, work closely with the dvLED installer and OEM technicians. This will ensure the wall is being used correctly throughout its lifespan, and use them as support whenever necessary. Peerless-AV prides itself on its “always on” approach to projects involving its products. We are always available to provide insight, tips, and advice on any past installation.
