Shape approximate: the venue publishes area only, so this room is drawn as a square of equal area.
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 78.2 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 125 x 2 (25000 x 400 px, 1,950 kg, 40 kW).

| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 125 x 2 = 250 | 62.5 x 1 m | 25000 x 400 | 1,950 kg / 4,299 lb | 40 kW, 192 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 125 x 2 = 250 | 62.5 x 1 m | 16000 x 256 | 1,950 kg / 4,299 lb | 35 kW, 168 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.
