A spherical LED display is the hardest shape to build well, because every cabinet on it is a different curve. We cut the PCB and the cabinet tooling per latitude band, so the finished ball reads as one continuous surface instead of a stack of visible rings.
Most of the spheres we ship sit between 1.2 m and 3 m in diameter, hung from a ceiling truss or standing on a concealed steel base. Above 3 m the cabinet count goes past 60 pieces and the ball usually needs its own support tower, so we design the structure and the screen together rather than bolting a screen onto someone else's frame.
Indoor spheres normally run P1.5 to P3 with 1,000–1,500 nits. Outdoor spheres jump to P4–P6.67 with 5,000+ nits and IP65 sealing, because sunlight on a curved surface eats contrast faster than it does on a flat wall.

What decides the price of an LED sphere
Three things drive cost far more than the pixel pitch does: the number of unique cabinet moulds, the structure, and the control system. A 1.5 m sphere may need six or seven moulds; a 4 m sphere can need fifteen. Every mould is tooling you pay for once, which is why price per square metre falls sharply as diameter grows.
Three that come up on almost every spherical enquiry. Ask us anything else directly.
Can an LED sphere play normal 16:9 video?
Not natively. A sphere needs a 2:1 equirectangular source, or a media server that maps flat content onto spherical coordinates. We supply the mapping project file with the screen, and can pre-render your existing video if you send it over.
How is a sphere serviced if a module fails?
Front-service modules are removed with a suction tool from outside, so no scaffolding inside the ball is needed. For spheres under 2 m we also offer a magnetic front-access module that comes off in about ten seconds.
Do you build hemispheres and partial spheres?
Yes. Roughly a third of our sphere projects are 180° hemispheres or 270° segments mounted against a wall or ceiling, which cuts cabinet count and cost substantially.
Tell us the size and the viewing distance.
Those two numbers decide the pitch, the cabinet count and most of the price. Send them and we will come back with a build.
