How much does an LED screen for a conference room cost? How can I estimate the budget to avoid overspending?

Why Do Meeting Room LED Displays Vary So Much in Price?

Many people assume that calculating the price of an LED Display can be done simply by using screen size x price per square meter. In reality, however, the price of an LED Display system consists of many components, such as:

·        LED Display screen

·        Video Processor

·        Signal transmission system

·        Installation structure

·        Electrical system

·        Architectural finishing work

·        Installation labor cost

·        System testing

·        Warranty and after-sales service

Therefore, comparing only the price per square meter may lead to a misunderstanding of the actual total cost.

 

Factor 1: Screen Size

Screen size is the first factor that affects the price. For example:

Small meeting rooms

·        110–135-inch display

·        Approximately 3–5 square meters

Medium meeting rooms

·        150–220-inch display

·        Approximately 6–12 square meters

Large meeting rooms

·        250–400-inch display or larger

·        More than 15 square meters

The larger the display area, the higher the price, as more LED modules are required.

 

Factor 2: Pixel Pitch

Pixel Pitch is the distance between LED pixels and is one of the factors that most significantly affects the price. The simple principle is:

·        The smaller the number, the finer the image

·        The smaller the number, the higher the price

Example

 

A P1.2 display may cost 2–3 times more than a P2.5 display, even when the screen size is the same. Therefore, choosing the right Pixel Pitch according to the viewing distance is extremely important.

Factor 3: LED Display Brand

Today, the LED Display market offers products at many levels, from Economy to Premium. The differences include:

·        LED pixel quality

·        Color consistency

·        Service life

·        System stability

·        Maintenance capability

·        Warranty

For example:

·        Value-focused group using ACE LED Display: suitable for hotels or organizations that require cost-effectiveness and professional-level quality. HSTN selects and controls production quality under OEM standards, resulting in higher standards than general imported products in the market.

·        Premium group using LG LED Display: suitable for 5-star hotels, executive meeting rooms, Executive Board Rooms, Convention Centers, and command centers.

HSTN is an official Tier 1 distributor of LG LED Display, offering the highest level of image quality, color consistency, and system stability.

 

Factor 4: Video Control System

Many organizations often overlook this part of the cost, but the video control system affects both the price and the user experience. Examples include:

·        Video Processor

·        Presentation Switcher

·        Wireless Presentation

·        Digital Signage

·        Cloud Management

Executive meeting rooms often require more capabilities than basic image display, such as:

·        Support for Microsoft Teams

·        Support for Zoom

·        Support for BYOD

·        Sharing visuals from multiple devices at the same time

All of these directly affect the overall project value.

 

Factor 5: Structure and Finishing Work

An LED Display project does not include only the screen itself. It also includes:

·        Steel structure

·        Wall finishing work

·        Electrical system

·        Ventilation system

·        Architectural work

In some projects, structural costs may account for 10–30% of the total project value.

 

Estimated Budget for Meeting Room LED Displays

The following figures are only preliminary guidelines:

·        Small meeting rooms, 110–135 inches: approximately 500,000 – 1,200,000 baht

·        Corporate meeting rooms, 135–180 inches: approximately 1,000,000 – 3,000,000 baht

·        Executive meeting rooms, 150–220 inches: approximately 2,000,000 – 6,000,000 baht

·        Hotel ballrooms, 220–400 inches or larger: approximately 3,000,000 – 15,000,000 baht or more, depending on Pixel Pitch, brand, and supporting systems

 

How to Prevent the Budget from Escalating

1. Clearly define the purpose

Start with the question: What will the display be used for? Choosing specifications beyond what is necessary is one of the main reasons budgets become higher than they should be.

2. Choose the right Pixel Pitch for the viewing distance

It is not always necessary to choose the finest Pixel Pitch. If viewers are 4–5 meters away, P2.5 may already be sufficient.

3. Plan the entire system from the beginning

The whole system should be designed together to avoid duplicated costs in the future, including:

·        LED Display

·        Audio system

·        Conference system

·        Control system

4. Choose an experienced service provider

Incorrect design from the beginning may require costly corrections later. Organizations should choose a company that can provide complete end-to-end service, including:

·        Survey

·        Design

·        Installation

·        Testing

·        Maintenance

5. Consider long-term maintenance costs

Do not look only at the initial purchase price. Always consider the following as well:

·        Warranty

·        Spare parts

·        Service team

·        Preventive Maintenance
