LED wall that fits

Under a 18.3 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 32 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 158.5 m wall a Absen A2 Pro wall runs 253 x 32 (42504 x 5376 px, 80,960 kg, 1497.8 kW).

Wall sizing assumes 1.5 m trim to the bottom edge, 0.3 m clearance under the ceiling, and a wall no wider than 80% of the longest wall. Weight and power are tile totals from the panel spec sheet; add processing, rigging, and cable.
