LED wall that fits

Under a 2.4 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 1 rows of 500 mm tile flown, which is tight; ground-stack or go lower on trim. Along the 11 m wall a Absen A2 Pro wall runs 17 x 1 (2856 x 168 px, 170 kg, 3.1 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.
