LED wall that fits
Under a 3.1 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 2 rows of 500 mm tile flown, which is tight; ground-stack or go lower on trim. Along the 103 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 164 x 2 (32800 x 400 px, 2,558 kg, 52.5 kW).

| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 164 x 2 = 328 | 82 x 1 m | 32800 x 400 | 2,558 kg / 5,640 lb | 52.5 kW, 252 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 164 x 2 = 328 | 82 x 1 m | 20992 x 256 | 2,558 kg / 5,640 lb | 45.9 kW, 221 A @ 208 V |
Wall sizing assumes 1.5 m trim to the bottom edge, 0.3 m clearance under the ceiling, and a wall no wider than 80% of the longest wall. Weight and power are tile totals from the panel spec sheet; add processing, rigging, and cable.
Seating estimate
After a 12 x 7 m stage, Hall 3 holds about 23,388 theater seats, 9,568 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 6,578 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 96 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
