Projection vs. LED Video Walls: Which One Will Make Your Event Shine?

When planning an event, the right display can be the difference between an average experience and a truly immersive one. Whether you’re running a high-energy festival or an intimate corporate presentation, choosing between projection and LED video walls depends on your venue, audience, and lighting conditions.

At Perception Live, we specialise in both, and here’s what you need to know to make the right call.

Projection: Flexible, Immersive, and Budget-Friendly 

If you want large, cinematic visuals without the cost of a massive screen, projection is a smart choice. It works best in theatres, conferences, and immersive experiences, where lighting can be controlled.

Best suited for:

  • A conference keynote with dynamic visuals
  • A theatre performance with dramatic backdrops
  • An interactive art installation that transforms a space

Why Choose Projection?

✔ More budget-friendly than LED walls for large displays
✔ Lightweight and portable, making it easy to set up
✔ Ideal for dark environments, creating a seamless visual effect

Keep in mind: Bright spaces or outdoor settings can wash out the image, making projection less effective.

LED Video Walls: Crisp, Vibrant, and Built for Impact 

If you need bold visuals that stand out in any setting, an LED video wall is the way to go. With high brightness, vivid colors, and excellent durability, LED screens make a lasting impression—even in full daylight. 

Best suited for: 

  • A music festival where every attendee needs a clear view 
  • A trade show booth that demands attention 
  • A large corporate event with real-time video feeds 

Why Choose LED? 

✔ Brilliant, high-contrast visuals that pop—even in daylight
✔ Scalable to any size, from small booths to massive stages
✔ Low maintenance and built to last, making it a solid investment 

The trade-off? Higher upfront costs, but the impact is undeniable.
