For those looking to invest in LED display screens, having a clear understanding of the pricing and budget considerations is essential. In this blog post, we will explore the various components included in LED display screen quotations. This comprehensive guide will help you make informed decisions when purchasing full-color LED screens.
Display Screen Module Cost
The foundation of LED display screen pricing lies in the cost per square meter. Typical quotations will specify a price per square meter (m2) of the LED display screen. This cost encompasses the entire LED screen module, including core components such as LED chips, module circuit boards, IC driver chips, module power supplies, steel cabinets, plastic masks, as well as all internal wiring and connectors. Generally, these quotations are inclusive of taxes, but it’s advisable to clarify this during your inquiries.
Control System Expenses
The control system cost includes both sending and receiving cards. Usually, only one sending card is needed per screen, which is installed in the host computer. The number of receiving cards required depends on the size of the display screen. Larger and higher-density screens typically necessitate more receiving cards to ensure proper control and synchronization.
Control Computer
A control computer is indispensable for operating LED display screens. It should meet certain specifications or higher, such as a dual-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, a dedicated graphics card with 512MB or more memory, and a motherboard with PCI slots to accommodate the control cards.
Audio System and Amplifiers
To provide synchronized audio alongside video playback, an audio system with at least one amplifier and two speakers is usually included in the setup.
Distribution Box
While small LED display screens may not require a distribution box, it is strongly recommended for screens with a power consumption exceeding 10KW. The distribution box ensures stable voltage, power, and current supply to all components, minimizing the risk of power-related malfunctions.
Air Conditioning
For outdoor LED displays exceeding 20 square meters, the manufacturer typically installs air conditioning to regulate temperature and extend the lifespan of screen components. Indoor screens or smaller outdoor screens may not necessitate this.
Multi-Function Card
Multi-function cards are primarily used for indoor screens. They enable intelligent adjustments of brightness, temperature, and other parameters to save energy and prolong the screen’s lifespan. For indoor displays, these cards are optional.
Lightning Protection
Lightning protection devices are essential for outdoor LED displays to safeguard against lightning strikes. Indoor displays generally do not require these devices.
Video Capture Card
A video capture card, also known as a TV card, can be installed in a computer to enable the synchronized playback of cable TV programs on the LED screen. The need for this card is optional and relatively inexpensive.
LED Video Processor
An LED video processor enhances overall display quality and functionality. It resolves issues related to various video signal formats, offering solutions for format conversion. Numerous brands and models of LED video processors are available, each with varying prices.
LED Playback Software
LED playback software, including computer operating systems and LED video playback software, is typically provided free of charge.
Steel Structure and Installation
Mounting brackets and support structures made of steel frames, aluminum-plastic panels, or stainless steel border materials are used to secure the LED display screen. Installation costs, including labor, can be minimal if the manufacturer provides design drawings for local fabrication.
Freight Charges
Freight charges depend on the distance of transportation and can usually be handled by the customer on a cost-reimbursement basis.
Technician Fees
When LED displays are shipped to the customer’s location, companies often send 1-2 technical engineers to assist with installation and technical adjustments. These costs may include standard expenses such as accommodation, meals, and transportation.
Conclusion
By considering all the factors mentioned above, prospective buyers can make well-informed choices when purchasing New or IAMLEDWALL LED display screens. Whether for indoor or outdoor applications, LED display screens have a wide range of costs associated with them, and careful planning is essential to ensure a successful installation that meets both your needs and budget.
