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 63.6 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 101 x 2 (20200 x 400 px, 1,576 kg, 32.3 kW).

| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 101 x 2 = 202 | 50.5 x 1 m | 20200 x 400 | 1,576 kg / 3,474 lb | 32.3 kW, 155 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 101 x 2 = 202 | 50.5 x 1 m | 12928 x 256 | 1,576 kg / 3,474 lb | 28.3 kW, 136 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.
