Drawing

The drawing appears when the inputs are complete

01
Lay out an LCD video wall: bezel-compensated overall and active dimensions, combined resolution, weight and power roll-up, and DISCAS sightline and sizing checks.
02
Tip. Bezel specifications are quoted two ways. "Bezel-to-bezel" is the whole dark gap between two active areas and is the figure to use here; a per-panel "border" figure is half of it, and taking one for the other doubles or halves every seam in the array.
03
0.88 mm — Typical narrow bezel-to-bezel
04
3.5 mm — Standard commercial bezel
05
25.4 mm — One inch of diagonal

Video wall array design

A video wall is an array of whole panels, so its overall size moves in discrete steps rather than continuously. The design settles when the grid, the bezel gap and the mounting height together satisfy the room — and the bezel is what decides whether the result reads as one image or as a set of screens.

Array geometry

Panel active area comes from diagonal and aspect ratio. The bezel gap sits between every pair of adjacent active areas, so it accumulates across the array.

Use cases

Active width = diagonal × ratio ÷ √(1 + ratio²)
Pitch = active dimension + bezel gap
Combined resolution = panel pixels × grid
Overall size steps by one whole panel at a time

Formula

Overall width = columns × (panel width + bezel)

Bezel-to-bezel, not per-panel border

Structure and services

Weight and power scale with panel count and are carried by the wall behind. Both are usually the constraint that appears late, when the structure is already built.

Use cases

Total mass = panel mass × panel count
Load per metre of wall width drives the fixing design
Every watt drawn is rejected as heat into the room
Confirm rear access and service clearance

Formula

Heat (BTU/h) = total watts × 3.412

Confirm against the vendor datasheet

Bezel figures are published two ways. "Bezel-to-bezel" is the whole dark gap between two active areas and is what this tool expects; a per-panel "border" figure is half of it. Taking one for the other doubles or halves every seam in the array, and the error is invisible until the wall is built.
