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 40.1 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 64 x 2 (12800 x 400 px, 998 kg, 20.5 kW).

| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 64 x 2 = 128 | 32 x 1 m | 12800 x 400 | 998 kg / 2,201 lb | 20.5 kW, 98 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.
