Rite... i know a few of you like to play with lights too.... Here we go, my casino wants to put up a rgb led message board around our out door canopy. Its solid metal and sticks out 3-4 metre asn is 2.5-3 metres wide so all in all i need something that will wrap around 3 sides of it approx 8-11 metres of 30cm-40cm high. I dont care how its controlled. I just need it to display text and small pictures if i can... DMX boards or something custom. Im sure they wont mind spending £2-3k on it or there abouts... Anyone point me in the right direction as to what YOU think i really need. Cheers guys I'll cheak back wen im up again at 13:00 ish as iv just finished work and need sleep lol ------------- If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down. |

Check with your local Highways and Development Control Departments at the Council before going any further with this should your display be visible from a Highway and capable of distracting drivers...... Mik ------------- Warning! May contain Nuts plus springs, washers, screws, etc, etc. |

Cheap LED wall and video content? I can point you in the right direction for a hire.

You should have gone to plasa, every other stand had the bloody things on it. Have a look in the Plasa magazine (is it light & sound) I'm sure you'll fine some there but you may want to up your budget 10-15 grand for anything sensible. I've been looking at small stuff to put on a Dj console and gave up when getting quotes £1500 to £2000 for something pretty basic. ------------- Never criticise another man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.

You won't get anything of that size that will show med res graphics including the source / control for £3k. Even the cheap far eastern no brand gear you'd need to spend double that. |

| £3k budget? Haha, that'll probably get you 10 panels from China, but no where near enough for this size project. |

Something like this may be what you need? I didnt look into it too much. Might be a bit tall and idk if its usable outside. ------------- Make it loud! |

Those are 48" square and about 5 grand each so you need a few to make up the length the poster needs and they are not really for extended use outside. ------------- Never criticise another man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.

Just out of interest instead of buying one have you thought of leasing one? http://www.scanlite.co.uk/product-range/led-screen-hire-and-rental-from-scanlite/ http://www.scanlite.co.uk/product-range/led-screen-hire-and-rental-from-scanlite/

In terms of hiring Coloursound's 20mm pitch screen is about £140/ sq. metre / month in a year long contract install. That is the screen going around the giant mirrorball in my link above. They also have a 37mm pitch screen that would be cheaper. Call Haydn on 02089659119 for more info Where abouts is the casino? |
