What is the typical lead time for a bespoke LED display?

Standard configurations: 6–10 weeks from approved specification. Complex architectural projects: 12–20 weeks. Lead time is confirmed in writing at the quote stage.

Is there a minimum project size for custom LED work?

We work on projects from around £10,000 upwards. Below that threshold we recommend off-the-shelf solutions from our DEX Series.

Do I need different products for indoor versus outdoor environments?

Yes. Outdoor requires 5,000–10,000 nits brightness, IP65/66 weatherproofing, and coarser pixel pitches. An indoor panel deployed outdoors will fail under weather exposure and ambient light.

Do you handle content creation as well as hardware?

Yes — full content service from initial creative through to ongoing management. We also supply content management systems so your team can manage updates in-house.

Which LED display is best for my project?

The right LED display depends on minimum viewing distance, environment (indoor or outdoor), content type, and budget. Indoor close-viewing (0.5–3 m) typically needs P1.2–P2.5 pixel pitch; large-format atrium and architectural installs work with P4–P6; outdoor and facade work uses P6–P10+ at high brightness. We confirm the specification on a 30-minute consultancy call before quoting.

How are custom LED displays made?

Every custom LED display follows a five-phase process: Consultancy (requirements, viewing distance, environment), Design & Engineering (technical drawings, 3D renders, full specs), Manufacturing (bespoke hardware fabrication, factory burn-in and colour calibration), Installation (structural mounting, electrical integration, on-site commissioning), and Support (maintenance contracts, remote diagnostics, spare parts). Premium projects use Nichia or Kinglight LED chips for colour accuracy and lifespan.

Custom LED Displays & Bespoke LED Screens

We design, manufacture, and install custom LED displays for architects, brands, and integrators who need more than an off-the-shelf screen. Since 2013, Dynamo LED Displays has delivered bespoke LED solutions across the UK and Dubai — from curved video walls and transparent facades to one-off geometric structures that don’t exist in any catalogue.

Every project starts with your specific requirements: the space, the viewing distance, the environment, the content. We engineer the display around those parameters — not the other way around.

Commercial LED display routes

For a permanent fixed system, start with LED video wall installation. For temporary events, exhibitions or launches, use LED screen hire. Dynamo also designs and installs commercial LED display systems for corporate, retail, hospitality and public-space environments.

What We Build: Custom LED Display Types

Standard rectangular panels are only the starting point. We manufacture curved LED walls, flexible LED displays that wrap around columns and architectural features, transparent LED screens for glass facades, spherical and cylindrical designs, and ultra-large format video walls spanning entire building elevations.

Indoor and outdoor environments demand fundamentally different specifications. We match pixel pitch to viewing distance, select the correct IP rating for weather exposure, and calculate brightness requirements for ambient light conditions. The result is a display that performs precisely where it’s installed — not a compromise between environments.

We work across the current technology spectrum: direct-view LED (DV-LED) for most commercial applications, MiniLED for tighter pixel pitches and improved contrast, and MicroLED for premium installations requiring the highest resolution and colour accuracy.

Pixel Pitch: Choosing the Right Specification

Pixel pitch determines image clarity at a given viewing distance. Specifying too fine a pitch wastes budget; too coarse and the image breaks down. Use this table as a starting reference:

Minimum Viewing Distance	Recommended Pixel Pitch	Typical Application
0.5m – 1m	P1.2 – P1.8	Boardrooms, reception desks, close-view retail
1m – 3m	P2.0 – P2.5	Exhibition stands, indoor lobbies, retail
3m – 6m	P2.5 – P3.9	Retail video walls, event backdrops
6m – 15m	P4 – P6	Large-format indoor, atrium displays
15m+	P6 – P10+	Outdoor, stadiums, building facades

We’ll confirm the right specification for your project during consultancy — viewing distance is only one factor alongside content type, ambient brightness, and budget.

How We Work: From Brief to Installation

Phase 1 — Consultancy: We start with a detailed technical conversation about your space, viewing distances, content requirements, structural constraints, and budget. No generic proposals.

Phase 2 — Design & Engineering: Our in-house team produces technical drawings, 3D renders, and full specifications. For architectural installations, we work directly with your architects and structural engineers.

Phase 3 — Manufacturing: Every custom display is assembled and fully tested before it leaves the factory. Burn-in testing, colour calibration, content verification — you see it working before it ships.

Phase 4 — Installation: Our teams handle structural mounting, electrical integration, and on-site commissioning with your team present.

Phase 5 — Support: We provide maintenance contracts, remote diagnostics, and spare parts supply for the life of the display.

Investment & Pricing

Custom LED display projects typically range from £10,000 for smaller indoor installations to £500,000+ for large-scale architectural commissions. The primary cost drivers are screen size and shape, pixel pitch, brightness and IP rating, cabinet material, content management systems, and installation complexity.

We provide detailed, itemised quotations — not ballpark figures. Every line item is visible so you can make informed decisions about specification and budget.

Custom LED Hardware

We also specialise in custom-designed hardware that can be any desired shape or size and in very low pixel pitches.

Whether you’re looking for a simple rectangle or an intricate shaped solution, we have the capabilities to create the perfect display for your needs.

With our custom LED Displays, you can be sure of a high-quality product that is tailored to your specific needs and requirements. You can check out our off-the-shelf solution designed for exhibitions here DEX Series.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which pixel pitch is right?
The starting point is minimum viewing distance. From there we factor in content type, ambient light, and budget. We confirm the right specification on your consultancy call.

What’s the typical lead time?
Standard configurations: 6–10 weeks. Complex architectural projects: 12–20 weeks.

Is there a minimum project size?
We work on projects from around £10,000 upwards.

Indoor vs outdoor — do I need a different product?
Yes. Outdoor requires 5,000–10,000 nits brightness, IP65/66 weatherproofing, and coarser pixel pitches. An indoor panel used outdoors will fail.

Do you handle content as well as hardware?
Yes — full content service from initial creative through to ongoing management. We also supply CMS systems so your team can manage updates in-house.
