“Today I’m teaching you how to build a massive LED wall for under $500. Whether you’re an experienced engineer or just a beginner, anyone can make this 7-foot-wide display! The modular design is split into 4 separate panels so that you can make the perfect screen for your space. Each panel is lightweight, making this project more portable than a professional installation costing thousands of dollars.
The software I’ll teach you how to use allows you to display anything you want with no headache! You can set it to play a 4-hour background video to add color and motion to your room, or just show off a picture of your favorite character. There’s a built-in audio visualizer that turns any song into a dynamic light show. I love putting on a playlist of my favorite music videos and enjoying the pixelized result.
Whether you’re a hobbyist looking to show off your skills or just looking for a fun and unique art piece, this project is perfect for everyone!
