— Direct-view Micro LED

The end of the projector.

A cinema screen that makes its own light. No bulb, no throw distance, no darkened room. Micro LED built into the architecture of the house, specified alongside your architect and integrator.

— The comparison that matters

LED versus projection.

Projection was a compromise the room had to be built around. Direct-view LED removes the compromise. Here is the honest version, including where a projector still wins.

  Micro LED Projection
Ambient lightHolds full contrast in a lit roomNeeds the room blacked out
Black levelPixel is off, so black is blackGrey lifted by scattered light
Room design29.5mm deep, sits in the wallThrow distance dictates the layout
MaintenanceNo bulb, no filter, panel-level serviceLamp or laser replacement, filters
NoiseSilent at the screen, rack remoteFan noise in or near the room
Dual useArt, architecture or ambience when off-dutyA blank screen
Where projection wins—Lower cost per square foot above 200 inches, in a dedicated blacked-out theatre
— Where it goes

One surface, three lives.

A residential LED wall is rarely bought for film alone. It earns its place because it is three things in one architectural opening.

01 / Cinema

The screening room.

Reference-grade image at full brightness with the lights up. Calibrated to the seating plan, matched to the room’s acoustics and integrated with the control system you already run.

02 / Gallery

The collection wall.

Between screenings the same surface becomes a digital canvas for a rotating collection. Sub-millimetre pitch holds up at gallery viewing distance, not just across a room.

03 / Architecture

The living surface.

Ambient environments, a window that is not a window, a fireplace that is not a fireplace. Off-duty the wall becomes part of the interior rather than a black rectangle in it.

— The numbers a specifier needs

Built to be drawn in.

Setting-out drawings, structural backing, power and thermal loads issued at design stage so the screen and the millwork are coordinated before anything is built.

For architects and integrators.

Most of our residential work arrives through the people drawing the room, not the people living in it. We are set up for that.

Trade pricing, CAD and Revit blocks, full specification documents, thermal and electrical loads, and a named contact who will attend design meetings. We issue what your consultant needs to coordinate the trade, and we do not go around the specifier on their own project.

Sizing the room.

Pixel pitch is matched to the closest seating row, not to the size of the wall. As a working rule, minimum comfortable viewing distance in metres is roughly the pitch in millimetres.

At 1.2mm the front row can sit around 1.2 metres back before structure becomes visible. Most residential cinemas land between 0.9mm and 1.5mm depending on where the first row sits.

— Questions

Before you specify.

Is LED better than a projector for a home cinema?
For most modern media rooms, yes. A direct-view LED wall emits its own light, so it holds full contrast and colour in a room with ambient light, where a projector needs near-total darkness. There is no bulb to replace, no throw distance to design around and no screen fabric to tension. A projector still wins on cost per square foot at very large sizes, and remains the right answer for a dedicated blacked-out theatre on a tighter budget.
How much does an LED home cinema screen cost?
Pixals residential installations start at $25,000. Cost is driven by finished screen size, pixel pitch and the complexity of the architectural integration rather than by brand. A typical media-room wall between 120 and 165 inches diagonal falls between $60,000 and $180,000 installed, including processing, calibration and commissioning.
What pixel pitch do I need for a home theater?
Pixel pitch should be matched to the closest seating row. As a working rule, the minimum comfortable viewing distance in metres is roughly the pixel pitch in millimetres. At 1.2mm the front row can sit around 1.2 metres away before structure becomes visible. Most residential cinemas land between 0.9mm and 1.5mm. Our pixel pitch calculator will size this against your room.
Can an LED wall be recessed flush into the architecture?
Yes. The AURA cabinet is 29.5mm deep and designed to sit flush in a plastered reveal with no visible bezel or frame. We supply the setting-out drawings, structural backing requirements, power and heat loads and cable routes at design stage so the millwork and the screen are coordinated before anything is built.
How hot and how loud is a residential LED wall?
Our residential panels are cold-touch and fanless at the panel, so there is no audible noise at the screen. Heat and any active cooling sit in the processing rack, which is normally located outside the room. Thermal load is calculated at design stage and shared with the mechanical consultant.
Do you work directly with architects and AV integrators?
Most of our residential work arrives through architects, interior designers and custom installation firms. We provide trade pricing, CAD and Revit blocks, specification documents, and we will attend design meetings. We do not bypass the specifier on their own project. See the trade programme.
