Dynamo LED Displays Blog
The Dynamo LED Displays blog shares practical insight drawn from our engineering-led approach to LED display design and manufacture. We publish technical guides, buying advice and project breakdowns based on Dynamo’s real installations, covering everything from LED technologies and system design to bespoke, custom-built solutions. All content reflects hands-on experience from our in-house team, supporting architects, designers, brands and end clients in making informed decisions about LED displays across commercial, architectural, broadcast and live environments.
LED Screen Moire on Camera: Why It Happens and How
Point a camera at an LED screen and you may see something the naked eye never does: a rippling, shimmering interference pattern crawling across the image. That is moire (moiré), and if you are specifying an LED screen...
Sports Bar LED Screens: What to Spec for Pitch, Brightness
A sports bar LED screen needs three things specified correctly: a pixel pitch matched to the closest viewing distance, brightness with enough headroom for daytime fixtures, and a broadcast-source feed so the picture never runs behind the pub...
Car Showroom LED Screens: A Buying Guide for Dealer Groups
Car showroom LED screens have become a standard line on dealer group fit-out budgets, and for good reason: a direct-view LED screen behind the handover bay or facing the glazing does a job that posters, projection and consumer...
Media Facade LED Screen: Specifying Building-Scale Displays
A media facade LED screen turns a building elevation into a display surface, and specifying one is a different job from specifying a billboard or a lobby video wall. The questions that decide whether the project works are...
How to Create an RCFGX File with NovaStar Smart Settings
If you've got an LED module on the bench and no configuration file for it, the NovaStar Smart Settings wizard in NovaLCT is how you build one. The output is an RCFGX file: the receiving-card configuration that tells...
LED Display Retrofit: Receiving Cards, Controllers, and When to Replace
An LED display retrofit replaces the receiving cards and controller while keeping the cabinets, modules and power supplies, and it can add years of life to a display whose control system has fallen behind. It is not always...
Dynamo named AV Awards 2026 finalist for Auto Trader Manchester
Dynamo LED Displays Limited has been named an AV Awards 2026 finalist in Corporate Project of the Year for the Auto Trader Manchester HQ project. The Manchester headquarters brings five LED zones together as one workplace display system....
LED Screen Service Contracts and SLAs: What Good Cover Looks
An LED screen service contract is an agreement that commits a supplier to defined response and fix times, engineer attendance, held spares and scheduled maintenance for a display. It goes beyond a standard warranty, which repairs faulty parts...
Do LED Screens Suffer Burn-In? Image Retention on Direct-View LED
Direct-view LED screens do not suffer burn-in in the way OLED displays do. The inorganic diodes in an LED video wall cannot degrade chemically, so the LED screen burn-in most people fear does not exist. What LED can...
Meeting Room LED Screens: Direct-View LED for Video Conferencing Suites
A meeting room LED screen is a fine-pitch direct-view LED wall, typically 1.2mm–2.5mm pixel pitch and 3 to 6 metres wide, installed as the front-of-room display in a boardroom or video conferencing suite. It replaces tiled LCD with...
Control Room Video Wall Design Guide: Pixel Pitch, Sightlines and
A control room video wall is a large, bezel-free direct-view LED display specified for continuous 24/7 operation, sized and pitched so every operator can read critical content from their seat. It has a harder job than almost any...
LED Screen Viewing Angle: What Actually Matters
Ask what the LED screen viewing angle of a product is and the datasheet gives you a tidy answer: 160°, perhaps 140°. Ask what that number promises and the conversation gets more useful. The quoted figure tells you...
Bespoke LED Design Process: How a Custom Build Moves Through Engineering
Will a bespoke LED design process make the installation possible — or just better? That question shapes every custom LED build we take on at Dynamo. A standard cabinet grid works when the wall is flat, the dimensions
Outdoor LED Night Dimming: Auto-Brightness, Light Pollution And UK Compliance
Outdoor LED night dimming is one of the first questions specifiers raise once a screen is approved for an exterior site. The outdoor LED screen that looks sharp at 6,000 nits under direct sun becomes a neighbourhood nuisance
Outdoor LED Thermal Management: Why Heat Kills Brightness Before Pixels
Outdoor LED thermal management is the combination of cabinet design, airflow engineering and brightness control that keeps LED junction temperatures below the threshold where lumen output begins to degrade.
Flush Mount Indoor LED: The Architect’s Specification Guide
When an architect’s brief calls for a display surface that sits flush with the surrounding wall plane, the specification gets more demanding than a standard LED install. A flush mount indoor LED installation needs structural, electrical, and AV
LED wall room acoustics: how to treat a room with a large LED video wall
A large LED video wall changes the acoustic character of any room. Hard, flat and reflective, an LED video wall surface bounces sound back into the space in ways that plasterboard or soft furnishings never would. If LED
Rigged vs Ground Stack LED Screen Hire: Choosing the Right Build Method
A rigged LED screen is flown from overhead truss; a ground-stacked screen sits on a steel base frame on the floor. Choosing between a rigged vs ground stack LED build affects sightlines, load-in time, cost and, most importantly,
Flush Mount LED Wall: Flush vs Recessed Mounting for Architectural Spaces
A flush mount LED wall sits the display face level with the finished wall surface, using a shallow mounting frame so the screen reads as part of the architecture rather than an attachment. Recessed mounting sets the display
Front Service LED Wall vs Rear Service: When to Pick Which
A front-service LED wall lets technicians remove modules, power supplies and receiving cards from the viewing face — no rear access corridor needed. Get it wrong and you either lose usable floor space to a maintenance corridor you
Rent vs Buy LED Screen: Decision Tree With Real Numbers
Rent an LED screen if you need it fewer than 10–15 days per year; buy if it has a fixed location and regular use — ownership typically pays back within 12–24 months at 10+ events annually. The answer
Rental LED vs Fixed Install: When Each Makes Sense
Rental LED is the right choice when the screen moves between venues; fixed-install LED is the right choice when it stays in one location for two or more years. Most real projects sit somewhere in between — here’s
Corporate Reception LED Wall: A Buying Guide For Facilities Teams
A corporate reception LED wall is a building decision as much as an AV decision. The standard specification sits between P1.5 mm and P2.5 mm pixel pitch, 500–800 nits brightness, with front-service access and a dedicated electrical circuit.
Transparent LED Retail Windows: When See-Through Beats a Solid Wall
Transparent LED retail windows fix something standard screens get wrong: they turn glass into a programmable media surface without blocking the view into the store. For retailers weighing up a window display upgrade, the question is not whether
