LED Display Self-Service Price Tool: Configuration Brief Inputs

Quick answer

To get a useful figure from a self-service LED price tool, prepare a configuration brief naming indoor or outdoor use, finished wall width and height, closest viewer and smallest text, candidate pixel pitch, cabinet series and service route, control and spares, and delivery destination. Treat any returned figure as provisional: EagerLED states that price for EA250WH5 and EA600COB3 depends on project factors, and each wall is quoted per project.

Separate an early budget figure from a project quotation

If a self-service platform returns an early budget indication, treat it as a provisional figure rather than a verified project quotation. EagerLED states that EA250WH5 price depends on pixel pitch, wall size, cabinet quantity, control system, spare modules and shipping, so each wall is quoted per project. For EA600COB3, price is quoted per project because it depends on pixel pitch, total wall area, cabinet quantity, control system, spare modules, mounting structure and shipping. For EA1000H8, the quotation request itself needs screen width and height, venue, viewing distance, installation method and delivery destination.

Our advice is to use any early indication for feasibility only, then request a written itemized quotation before a purchase decision. Give every supplier the same brief so you can compare LED screen quotes line by line rather than matching one blended total against another. The written quotation is the document that should identify what is included, what is excluded and which model, pitch, cabinet and service route apply.

Start with indoor or outdoor use and the closest viewer

Indoor or outdoor use is the first filter because it changes the cabinet series, IP rating and brightness assumption. EA250WH5 is an indoor display rated IP31, and outdoor projects need a weather-rated cabinet and a higher IP rating. EA600COB3 is an indoor series rated IP31. EA1000F2 is a fixed outdoor advertising LED screen with IP65 protection for outdoor installation. EA1000H8 is a rental LED board for indoor and outdoor event video walls, so the brief must say which configuration is being priced.

Next, state the closest normal viewer and the smallest text that must remain readable, because that is what turns a room dimension into a candidate pixel pitch. EA250WH5 GOB pitches serve rooms watched up close, while P2.5 to P3.91 suits an LED display wall viewed from about 3 m. EA600COB3 uses fine-pitch COB modules in six pitches from P0.62 to P1.87 for close indoor viewing. Use a documented pixel pitch and viewing distance method to frame the question, and confirm the exact quoted pitch before relying on the indication.

Brightness should be recorded as a separate brief input. EA250WH5 runs at 600 cd/m² on P1.25 and P1.56 and 750 cd/m² from P1.95 to P3.91. EA600COB3 runs at 600 cd/m² across its six pitches. EA1000F2 models deliver 5,000 or 6,500 cd/m². Those differences matter when the same platform form asks for indoor and outdoor projects.

Give real wall dimensions and a candidate pitch

Enter the finished active display width and height, not the room or wall opening, and add the aspect ratio your content will use. Cabinet format then determines how that area is built. EA250WH5 has six cabinet sizes from 500 x 250 mm up to 1000 x 500 mm on a shared 250 x 250 mm module. EA600COB3 uses 600 x 337.5 mm 16:9 cabinets. EA1000F2 supports six cabinet formats from 1000 x 500 mm to 1500 x 1000 mm. EA1000H8 uses 250 x 250 mm modules in a rental cabinet system.

Give a candidate pixel pitch rather than a vague size preference, because price depends on pitch and wall area. EA250WH5 covers seven pitches from P1.25 GOB to P3.91. EA600COB3 covers P0.62, P0.78, P0.93, P1.25, P1.56 and P1.87. EA1000F2 covers seven configurations from P2.97 to P10.42. For indoor work, review Indoor LED screen price before treating an early figure as a budget, because pitch, area and cabinet quantity all affect the project total.

If you do not yet know the pitch, compare two or three candidate pitch scenarios against the same wall dimensions and viewing task, and label each result as a scenario rather than a final specification. Whether a particular platform supports side-by-side scenarios is a question for that platform. Either way, preserve the assumption behind each scenario so a later project quotation can confirm or replace it.

Name the cabinet series and service route

Service access belongs in the brief because it determines which cabinet series is practical. EA250WH5 modules, power supplies and control components are reachable from the front with a suction tool, so no maintenance aisle is needed behind the wall. EA600COB3 modules release from the front and need no rear service corridor. EA1000F2 modules can be installed and removed from either the front or rear. EA1000H8 supports front and rear service. If the site has no rear access, say so before a cabinet is proposed.

Cabinet depth and weight also feed the mounting and installation scope. EA250WH5 is 30 mm deep, and its 500 x 250, 750 x 250 and 1000 x 250 mm formats weigh 3.0, 4.3 and 5.7 kg, while the 500 x 500, 750 x 500 and 1000 x 500 mm formats weigh 5.3, 8.0 and 10.5 kg. EA600COB3 cabinets are 30 mm deep and weigh 4.1 kg. EA1000F2 uses a 1000 x 1000 mm aluminum cabinet weighing 28.4 kg. Keep hardware vs installed cost separate when you compare an early indication with a full project scope.

Define control, spares and destination

Control and spare modules are named price factors, not optional notes. EA250WH5 price depends on control system and spare modules, and EA600COB3 price depends on control system and spare modules as well as mounting structure. Describe how content will be played, who updates it, whether one controller or several zones are needed, and how many spare modules should be quoted. For EA1000H8 rental use, mixed assembly with EA500H8, EA500H8V and EA500H7 cabinets is possible, so the spare plan should match the exact cabinet and pitch mix.

Delivery destination should be written as a city and country, with the installation method and target date if known. EA250WH5 asks for delivery city in the quotation request. EA600COB3 asks for delivery city. EA1000H8 asks for delivery destination and installation method. Add any known shipping, maintenance and running cost assumptions to the brief so an early figure is not mistaken for a landed project total.

For outdoor or curved projects, describe the geometry you need and ask whether optional hardware changes the cabinet count or combination. EA1000F2 offers optional 45° beveled-edge cabinets that pair to form a 90° outside corner, and optional 90° curved cabinets in three sizes for rounded-corner installations. EA1000H8 offers an optional high-precision curve lock for curved assembly, and the supplier should confirm the suitable lock configuration, supported angles and cabinet combination.

Turn the brief into an itemized quotation request

EagerLED sources state that price depends on project factors for EA250WH5 and EA600COB3, and for EA1000H8 the configuration, accessories and project price are confirmed from the quotation request. Our advice is to request a written itemized quotation that separates cabinets, video controller, mounting structure, power and signal distribution, spare modules, freight, installation and commissioning. That lets you compare offers on the same inclusions rather than a single blended total.

Before you accept any total, check the quotation against your brief: indoor or outdoor model, exact pitch, active resolution, cabinet count, service route, control scope, spare modules, delivery city and installation method. If a line is missing, ask for it as a separate written item. The goal is not to make an early figure look final; it is to give the supplier enough information to return a comparable project quotation.

Early figure vs written project quotation

Buyer checklist

• State indoor or outdoor use and confirm the IP rating for the exact model.
• Give finished active width, height and aspect ratio, not the room dimensions.
• Name the closest normal viewer and smallest text, then confirm the candidate pitch.
• List cabinet series, depth, weight and the front, rear or dual service route.
• Define controller, playback ownership, spare modules and delivery destination.
• Request an itemized quotation and compare line by line before accepting a total.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an early self-service LED price figure and a project quotation?

An early figure is only as good as the inputs you give it. A project quotation is a written scope that should identify the exact model, pitch, cabinet, control, spares, freight and installation inclusions. EagerLED states that EA250WH5 price depends on pixel pitch, wall size, cabinet quantity, control system, spare modules and shipping, and that EA600COB3 price depends on pixel pitch, wall area, cabinet quantity, control system, spare modules, mounting structure and shipping; both are quoted per project.

Which inputs should I send first for an indoor LED wall brief?

Start with indoor use, wall dimensions, viewing distance and delivery city. For EA250WH5, send screen dimensions, viewing distance and delivery city for an itemized quotation. For EA600COB3, send wall dimensions, viewing distance, content type and delivery city so EagerLED can return an itemized quotation with a recommended configuration.

What should I include for an outdoor LED display brief?

State that the project is fixed outdoor or rental, then give the exact pitch, brightness, cabinet geometry and service access you need priced. EA1000F2 is a fixed outdoor advertising LED screen with IP65 protection. EA1000H8 is a rental LED board for indoor and outdoor event video walls, and the quotation request should include screen width and height, venue, viewing distance, installation method and delivery destination.

Should I include spare modules and control in the configuration brief?

Yes. Control system and spare modules are named price factors for EA250WH5, and control system and spare modules are also named price factors for EA600COB3. Describe how content is played and updated, how many control zones are needed, and how many spare modules should be quoted so an early figure and a later project quotation cover the same scope.

Why does delivery destination matter before using a price tool?

Delivery destination is part of the quotation scope, so give it early. EA250WH5 asks for delivery city. EA600COB3 asks for delivery city. EA1000H8 asks for delivery destination and installation method. If a tool’s figure does not state whether freight is included, ask how that platform handles shipping and landed cost rather than assuming the number covers delivery.

Can the same configuration brief cover both indoor and outdoor LED projects?

No. EA250WH5 is an indoor display rated IP31, and outdoor projects need a weather-rated cabinet and a higher IP rating. EA600COB3 is an indoor series rated IP31. EA1000F2 is a fixed outdoor advertising LED screen with IP65 protection. EA1000H8 is a rental LED board with indoor and outdoor configurations, so the brief must state which configuration is being priced.
