What Does an Interactive Video Wall Cost?

The use of interactive video walls is a growing trend for marketers that want to make a unique presence on location at major events or in large indoor or outdoor spaces. And while the idea of taking on a big and exciting project like an interactive video wall may sound like a joy to you, you’re probably also wondering, “What does an interactive video wall cost?” and more importantly, can we really afford to achieve this? The use of high-tech, value-add solutions like a video wall will certainly come at a cost, but many factors come into play in determining what that cost will be. For an immediate estimate, call Beverly Boy Productions to discuss your project in full detail. Otherwise, let’s try to help you figure out what goes into the cost of a video wall.

Baseline Pricing

The baseline pricing for an interactive video wall will depend on things like the size of the wall and the type of video that is created for the wall. On a smallish scale, a 2×2 video wall that is created with 46” monitors will typically cost close to $20,000 to create. That is just for the basic setup and is exclusive of any additional functionality or needs. Most likely, you’re going to need something more complex that will require additional input and additional budget to create.

Considerations Before Installing a Video Wall

Before you install a video wall it’s a good idea to consider the various elements of the wall and what you wish to achieve with it. What kind of images do you intend to display and how many images will display at a single time on the wall? What kind of budget are you working with and how much space are you willing or able to use? Should the system have a very easy setup and implementation or will you include an ongoing maintenance budget to ensure the continued operation of the video wall?

Additionally consider the following:

• Content – Will the video wall be client-facing or internal? Who will use the content and what content will the wall show?
• Location – Where will the wall be set up? You don’t want this investment in some corner where nobody will ever see it!
• Construction – Is the area that you intend to hold the video wall constructed soundly enough to support the technology or will additional reinforcement be required?
• LED vs LCD – What type of display will you feature? If incorporating a wall outdoors you may consider LED which are flexible and more creative to install than LCD panels.
• Hardware Needs – Interactive attachments like touch screens come at a cost, and require additional hardware and software — don’t forget about it in the planning!
