For a fixed-install COB wall, start with the panel price by pixel pitch, then add the project scope around it. The 2026 EXW bands below cover modules and cabinets. Send the wall size, closest viewing distance and installation country to turn that planning range into a cabinet layout and line-item budget.

Key Takeaways
  • Panel layer: 2026 COB panel bands run from $1,390–1,695/m² at P1.5625 to $2,250–2,500/m² at P0.9375.
  • Project layer: processor, structure, power and signal, spares, freight and commissioning typically add 20–40% to a comparable panel scope.
  • Compare like with like: lock the exact millimetre pitch, brightness, refresh rate, cabinet count and commercial scope before averaging two offers.
01 — Panel Price

2026 COB Panel Price per m²

These are factory-direct planning bands for EXW Shenzhen, panel-only scope: modules and cabinets. They give a procurement team a realistic starting range before the wall dimensions, controller, structure and delivery scope are finalized.

Engineering pitchCOB panel USD / m²Planning use
P1.5625$1,390–1,695Close-view meeting, retail and presentation walls
P1.25$1,570–1,870Fine-pitch boardroom and close-view fixed installation
P0.9375$2,250–2,500Dense data and near-view workspaces
P0.78$4,650–4,800Ultra-fine close-view installations
P0.62$10,350–10,450Specialized ultra-fine projects

The band width reflects configuration: the lower end uses 600 cd/m² at 3,840 Hz and the upper end uses 1,000 cd/m² at 7,680 Hz. Quantity, delivery terms and final engineering can move a project quote by about ±10–15%.

02 — Full-Wall Budget

What the Panel Price Leaves Out

Use the panel band to make an initial hardware allowance, then apply the complete project scope. A practical first estimate is:

Full-wall planning budget ≈ panel cost × 1.20–1.40

Project lineWhat to align across quotes
Control and processingInput count, processing needs, sending and receiving architecture
Structure and cablingWall mount, freestanding frame, power and signal distribution
Spares and commissioningSpare module ratio, calibration and on-site or remote support
Freight and delivery termsPacking, transport, duties and local installation responsibilities

For example, a 10 m² P1.25 COB wall has a panel allowance of $15,700–18,700. At a 30% project adder, the planning range becomes $20,400–24,300. Use one written scope sheet for every bidder.

03 — Worked Budgets

Three COB Budget Examples You Can Re-run

These examples use wall area × panel band × system range. They are planning calculations; cabinet count, power and final layout should be confirmed before a purchase order.

Boardroom

8 m² at P1.25

Panels: $12,600–15,000
Full planning range: $15,100–21,000

Data workspace

24 m² at P0.9375

Panels: $54,000–60,000
Full planning range: $64,800–84,000

Retail wall

18 m² at P1.5625

Panels: $25,000–30,500
Full planning range: $30,000–42,700

Use the LED Display Calculator to check area, resolution and cabinet geometry before using any range for an internal approval.

04 — Quote Comparison

Compare COB Quotes on the Same Scope

At the two pitches most commonly compared in indoor projects, the price decision depends on the completed configuration rather than the packaging name alone.

PitchCOB panelBlock SMD GOB panelCheck before deciding
P1.25$1,570–1,870$1,825–2,035Surface, cabinet geometry, brightness and refresh
P1.5625$1,390–1,695$1,415–1,530Same wall area, controller, structure and spare policy

Ask every bidder to show exact pitch, brightness grade, refresh rate, processor, structure, spare ratio and delivery terms. For the broader product decision, use the COB selection guide. For price-line detail, see the quote comparison checklist.

05 — Project Route

Turn the Budget Range into a COB Pro Layout

Indoor COB LED wall installation used as a fixed-install budget reference

COB Pro is the primary route for native 16:9 fine-pitch walls with a 600×337.5×33 mm cabinet. An engineering budget is useful only when the layout can be checked against the viewing distance, content and installation condition.

Request a COB Pro line-item budget

Send wall width × height, closest viewing distance, content type, installation country and schedule. We return a recommended pitch, cabinet layout, native resolution, estimated power and EXW line items.

FAQ

For EXW Shenzhen panel-only planning, COB Pro bands are $1,390–1,695/m² at P1.5625, $1,570–1,870/m² at P1.25, $2,250–2,500/m² at P0.9375, $4,650–4,800/m² at P0.78 and $10,350–10,450/m² at P0.62. The range reflects brightness and refresh configuration. Final project pricing also depends on wall area, delivery terms and the completed system scope.

Panel-only pricing is the EXW reference for LED modules and cabinets. A finished project also needs its selected control and processing hardware, mounting or support structure, power and signal distribution, spare policy, freight and commissioning plan. Use a written scope sheet so each supplier prices the same wall and the same responsibilities.

Start with wall area multiplied by the approved panel price for the selected engineering pitch. Then use a planning factor of 1.20–1.40 for the complete project scope. The final percentage depends on processing, structure, spares, transport, installation access and commissioning. An engineering layout converts this planning band into a cabinet count, resolution and line-item budget.

Check the exact millimetre pitch, brightness grade, refresh rate, cabinet count, control architecture, structure, spare ratio and delivery terms. A quote can look lower when it prices a different configuration or leaves project lines outside the displayed panel amount. Align those fields before comparing totals or selecting a supplier, and retain the same written scope with each bid.

Compare the same wall area and scope. In the current EXW panel references, COB at P1.25 is $1,570–1,870/m² versus Block SMD GOB at $1,825–2,035/m². At P1.5625, COB is $1,390–1,695/m² versus Block at $1,415–1,530/m². Surface, cabinet geometry, brightness and refresh still determine the final configuration.

Send wall width and height, closest viewing distance, content type, target resolution, installation country, mounting condition and schedule. DOIT VISION can return a recommended pitch, cabinet layout, native resolution, estimated power and EXW line items. That gives your team a consistent sheet for internal approval and supplier comparison, with the proposal tied to the finished wall dimensions.
