Plan view

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 136.3 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 218 x 2 (43600 x 400 px, 3,401 kg, 69.8 kW).

Absen KLCOB 0.78	0.78 mm	181 x 3 = 543	108.6 x 1 m	139008 x 1296	2,444 kg / 5,387 lb	48.1 kW, 231 A @ 208 V
Absen PL2.5 Plus V2	2.5 mm	218 x 2 = 436	109 x 1 m	43600 x 400	3,401 kg / 7,497 lb	69.8 kW, 335 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.
