Outdoor LED Video Wall Installation in New York

Transform Your Facade Into a High-Impact Digital Landmark

In New York, your exterior is prime real estate for attention. Avendor designs and installs outdoor LED video walls that cut through daylight, withstand the elements, and deliver reliable performance year-round. With many years of experience and a deep NYC portfolio—including retail installations such as the Diesel Store in SoHo, Manhattan and The Fantastic World of the Portuguese Sardine at 1592 Broadway—our team knows how to turn complex city constraints into seamless, on-brand visual experiences.

Whether you’re a flagship retailer, venue operator, campus, museum, or property developer, we handle everything from concept and engineering to permits, installation, calibration, and long-term support.

Why Outdoor LED (and Why Now)

• Daylight visibility: High-brightness cabinets (often 4,000–8,000+ nits) stay vivid in direct sun.

• Weather durability: IP-rated LED cabinets with robust sealing for rain, dust, and temperature swings.

• Creative freedom: Any size, aspect ratio, or curvature—designed to your architecture and sightlines.

• Dynamic content: Switch instantly between brand campaigns, live feeds, promotions, and event messaging.

• Revenue potential: Monetize premium frontage with sponsor content or media partnerships.

What We Deliver (End-to-End)

Custom Design & Engineering

We begin with site analysis (sun paths, foot traffic, viewing distances), then model pixel pitch, cabinet layout, mounting structure, and service access. You’ll see options with projected brightness and content mockups before anything is ordered.

Permit-Ready Submittals

NYC projects often require coordination with landlords, DOB, and sometimes landmarks/historic review. We prepare the drawings and documentation your GC and building management need to keep approvals moving.

Hardware Specification (Authorized Dealer)

As an authorized partner for leading brands (including Epson, Planar, LG, Samsung and others), we specify commercial-grade LED systems designed for outdoor durability, high brightness, and long service life. You get genuine equipment with full manufacturer backing.

Professional Installation & Commissioning

Certified technicians handle steelwork/mounts, power, data, grounding, weather sealing, and cabinet alignment. We finish with color calibration and uniformity tuning, so every module matches perfectly.

Content & Control

We configure your media player, CMS, and scheduling so your team can update campaigns in minutes. Need live inputs or emergency messaging? We’ll integrate it.

Training, Warranty & Support

On-site training for your staff, plus optional maintenance plans (periodic health checks, spare modules, remote monitoring) to protect uptime and image quality.

Outdoor LED Essentials (So You Choose Right)

Brightness (nits): Street-level facades typically require 4,000–6,000 nits; sun-blasted plazas may need higher. We right-size brightness so your content is legible without wasting power or lifespan.

Pixel Pitch: For pedestrians 10–30 feet away, consider 2.9–4.8 mm; for long-range viewing, 5.9–10 mm often balances cost and clarity. We model sightlines and recommend pitches for your audience.

Ingress Protection: Look for IP65+ front face protection for rain/dust. Edge sealing and cabinet design matter more than a single spec—our engineering accounts for wind-driven rain and freeze/thaw.

Serviceability: Front-service cabinets reduce disruption and lift costs. We plan safe access paths (swing frames, catwalks, or lift points) so upkeep is predictable.

Power & Thermal: Outdoor LED runs hot and bright. We design for dedicated circuits, surge protection, proper ventilation, and load distribution to maximize lifespan.

Structure & Wind Load: NYC wind load is no joke. We coordinate with your GC/engineer to ensure anchoring, steel, and facade interfaces meet code and warranty requirements.

Permits & Compliance: From electrical permits to signage ordinances, we help you navigate requirements and avoid surprises.

Use Cases We Excel At

• Flagship Retail & Times-Square-adjacent frontage

• Stadiums, arenas, and entertainment venues

• Universities and cultural institutions

• Corporate campuses and building lobbies (street-facing)

• Hospitality and dining with exterior screens

• Public art and seasonal activations

NYC Portfolio Credibility

Our New York work spans high-traffic retail and immersive brand spaces, including the Diesel Store in SoHo and the experiential Portuguese Sardine shop at 1592 Broadway. These projects demonstrate how we manage tight build windows, landlord requirements, and meticulous finish quality—the same rigor we bring to outdoor LED.

Project Timeline & Budget Ranges (What to Expect)

• Design & approvals: 3–6 weeks (site survey, drawings, permits/landlord sign-off)

• Procurement & fabrication: 4–10 weeks (brand and pitch dependent)

• Installation & commissioning: 3–10 days for small/medium walls; complex facades may take longer

Typical NYC budgets vary widely by size, pitch, structure, and content system. As a planning guide:

• Compact storefront feature walls: $45k–$120k+

• Medium retail/venue facades: $120k–$350k+

• Large statement walls or multi-surface installs: $350k–$1M+

We’ll scope a precise proposal after a quick discovery call and site review.

Our Process (Simple, Predictable, Transparent)

1. Discovery & Site Review – goals, audience, constraints

2. Concept & Budgeting – pitch/brightness options, ROM pricing

3. Engineering & Approvals – drawings, submittals, scheduling

4. Procurement – authorized hardware with verified lead times

5. Install & Commission – structure, power/data, calibration

6. Training & Handover – CMS setup, content playbooks, warranty

7. Support & Maintenance – proactive checks or on-demand service

FAQs

How bright does an outdoor LED wall need to be in NYC?
Most street-level applications perform best at 4,000–6,000 nits to stay legible in sunlight without excessive power draw.

What pixel pitch should we choose?
Pedestrian-focused walls typically use 2.9–4.8 mm; long-range viewing can go coarser (5.9–10 mm). We simulate your viewing distances before recommending.

Can Avendor help with permits and landlord approvals?
Yes. We provide engineered drawings, load data, electrical specs, and CMS/electrical narratives your GC and property management can submit.

How durable are these systems in winter/summer?
Outdoor cabinets are designed for temperature swings, rain, and dust. Proper IP ratings, sealing, ventilation, and power conditioning are key—built into our spec.

Do you provide content management tools?
Yes. We configure a user-friendly CMS so you can schedule campaigns, push updates, and add live inputs where needed.

What about service after install?
We offer spare module kits, remote monitoring, and preventive maintenance plans to protect uptime and image quality.
