LED wall that fits

Under a 2.5 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 1 rows of 500 mm tile flown, which is tight; ground-stack or go lower on trim. Along the 13.2 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 21 x 1 (4200 x 200 px, 164 kg, 3.4 kW).

Panel	Pitch	Wall (cols x rows)	Size	Resolution	Weight	Power (max)
Absen KLCOB 0.78	0.78 mm	17 x 2 = 34	10.2 x 0.7 m	13056 x 864	153 kg / 337 lb	3 kW, 14 A @ 208 V
Absen PL2.5 Plus V2	2.5 mm	21 x 1 = 21	10.5 x 0.5 m	4200 x 200	164 kg / 361 lb	3.4 kW, 16 A @ 208 V
Absen PL3.9 Plus V2	3.9 mm	21 x 1 = 21	10.5 x 0.5 m	2688 x 128	164 kg / 361 lb	2.9 kW, 14 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, Colab holds about 174 theater seats, 71 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 49 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 6.2 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
