LED Refresh Rate and Price (2026): 3,840 Hz vs 7,680 Hz

Quick answer

EagerLED’s fixed LED walls are priced at a 3,840 Hz refresh rate, at US$511–US$1,870 per m² (US$47–US$174 per sq ft) for standard indoor walls and US$499–US$989 per m² outdoors; rental cabinets are priced in a 3,840–7,680 Hz range. The price list does not show a separate charge for 7,680 Hz, so a higher refresh rate has to be quoted for the exact configuration. For example, a 4.00 × 2.50 m (13.1 × 8.2 ft) EA250WH5 P2.5 wall at 3,840 Hz costs about US$8,550 for the screen. 3,840 Hz suits most rooms that are filmed or streamed; ask for 7,680 Hz, and a camera test, for high-speed shutters, slow motion, broadcast and virtual production.

Refresh rate is how many times per second the LEDs are redrawn. It is different from the video frame rate (25, 30, 50 or 60 frames per second), and it mainly matters when a camera films the wall.

LED screen price at 3,840 Hz by type

Reference ex-factory prices from the EagerLED Aug 2026 price list, in USD, for the standard configuration; final pricing is subject to a formal quotation. The fixed-wall prices are listed for 3,840 Hz; the rental-cabinet prices are grouped under a 3,840–7,680 Hz heading, which does not by itself promise 7,680 Hz for an order. Confirm the refresh rate the supplied driver configuration actually delivers. The LED screen price overview has the full ranges.

Some products are specified at 7,680 Hz as standard: EagerLED lists 7,680 Hz for the EA500RF rental floor screen, for example. For those, the higher rate is part of the product rather than an option.

What a higher refresh rate costs and why

A higher refresh rate needs faster driver ICs and receiving cards, and sometimes a different scan configuration, so it can change the price of the modules and electronics. The size of that change depends on the model and pitch, which is why the price list does not show a single percentage. Ask the supplier for two prices for the same model, pitch, brightness and cabinet size: one at 3,840 Hz and one at 7,680 Hz. Only that pair shows what the higher refresh costs.

Be careful with comparisons that change something else. Two EA250WH5 P2.5 entries, both at 3,840 Hz with SMD1515 LEDs, 750 cd/m² and 1/25 scan, differ only in cabinet size:

The US$109 per m² difference is a cabinet-format difference, not a refresh premium. Likewise, a comparison that changes brightness, GOB, LED package or pitch cannot isolate the price of refresh.

A 4.00 × 2.50 m wall at 3,840 Hz

For a 4.00 × 2.50 m (13.1 × 8.2 ft) presentation wall of 10 m² (107.6 sq ft), EA250WH5 P2.5 can be built from twenty 1000 × 500 mm cabinets or forty 500 × 500 mm cabinets. Either way the canvas is 1,600 × 1,000 pixels at 3,840 Hz.

The EA640H1 is a different 640 × 480 mm family listed at at least 3,840 Hz across its range; its P1.86 GOB configuration costs US$1,119 per m² with SMD1515 LEDs, 600 cd/m² and 1/43 scan. For more indoor prices, see the indoor LED screen price guide.

When 3,840 Hz is enough and when to ask for 7,680 Hz

Fast shutter speeds are the main reason to pay for more. At 1/1,000 s, a 3,840 Hz wall completes only about four refresh cycles during the exposure, so scan lines can show; at 7,680 Hz it completes about eight. Slow-motion and sports cameras often use such shutters.

Make the camera test part of the quotation

A refresh figure does not approve the recorded image. EagerLED’s EA1000H8 guidance says refresh rate describes how often the LEDs refresh and is different from the video frame rate, and advises testing receiving-card settings, camera shutter and source video together for recorded performances. Put that test in the quotation:

• the exact model, pitch, scan and refresh setting being supplied;
• the cameras, lenses, frame rates and shutter speeds the production uses;
• the brightness preset (scan lines are often worse at low brightness);
• the content, including dark scenes and fast motion;
• who signs off the recorded clips.

Moiré is a separate effect caused by the pixel grid and camera sensor interfering; see the LED video wall moiré camera test. For a full virtual production brief, see virtual production LED wall planning.

Keep the installed budget separate from the display price

The display prices above cover cabinets, modules, power supplies and receiving cards. A video processor, mounting, power and data, freight, installation and calibration are quoted for the project. If you need 7,680 Hz, check that the processor and receiving cards support it at your frame rates, because the higher refresh is set by the whole control system, not only the modules.

Frequently asked questions

Does 7,680 Hz cost more than 3,840 Hz?

Usually, because it needs faster driver ICs and control, but the EagerLED price list does not show a fixed surcharge. Ask for a matched quote for the same model, pitch and brightness at both rates.

Is a 3,840–7,680 Hz price heading a guarantee of 7,680 Hz?

No. It describes the range the product family supports. Confirm in writing the refresh rate your supplied configuration delivers.

Is 3,840 Hz enough for filming?

For most rooms filmed at normal shutter speeds, yes. For high-speed shutters, slow motion, sport and virtual production, ask for 7,680 Hz and test with your cameras.

Why do two P2.5 walls have different prices at the same refresh rate?

Because they use different cabinet sizes: EA250WH5 P2.5 is US$855 per m² in 1000 × 500 mm cabinets and US$964 in 500 × 500 mm cabinets.

What should I send with a price request?
