Creative & Custom LED Displays A round LED screen costs $2,500 to $50,000+ depending on diameter, pixel pitch, and configuration. This guide gives you real price ranges — not “contact us for a quote” — so you can budget your project before speaking to a single supplier.
- A 1-metre indoor P2.5 circular LED screen costs roughly $2,500–$3,000 EXW Shenzhen. The same diameter in ultra-fine P1.25 pitch costs approximately $4,000–$5,100.
- Pixel pitch is the single biggest cost driver — going from P2.5 to P1.25 more than doubles the module cost because LED count jumps from 160,000 to 640,000 per square metre.
- Frameless circular displays cost 30–40% more than framed equivalents. Outdoor IP65-rated circular screens cost 30–50% more than indoor versions of the same diameter and pitch.
- Budget 15–25% on top of the display cost for shipping, customs duties, and local installation — these are not included in the EXW prices shown below.
- Prices in this guide are based on 50+ circular LED projects completed by DOIT VISION between 2023 and 2025 across 55 countries.
What a Round LED Screen Actually Costs: The 30-Second Answer
If you need a number right now, here it is:
Small (0.5m diameter, P2.5): $1,500 – $2,200
Medium (1.0m diameter, P2.5): $2,500 – $3,000
Medium (1.0m diameter, P1.5): $4,000 – $5,100
Large (2.0m diameter, P2.5): $8,000 – $12,000
Extra Large (3.0m+ diameter, P2.5): $15,000 – $25,000+
These numbers are EXW Shenzhen — the display cost only, before shipping, duties, or installation. Outdoor versions of the same size typically cost 30–50% more. Double-sided (two screens back-to-back) costs roughly 1.8× the single-sided price.
The detailed tables in the next section break this down further by exact diameter and pixel pitch combinations so you can match your project requirements to a realistic budget.
Circular LED Display Price by Diameter & Pixel Pitch
The table below shows real price ranges for indoor circular LED displays based on two key variables: how wide the screen is (diameter) and how fine the image is (pixel pitch). All prices are EXW Shenzhen in USD.
| Diameter | P1.25 (640K px/m²) | P1.5 (422K px/m²) | P1.875 (288K px/m²) | P2.5 (160K px/m²) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5m | $2,200 – $2,800 | — | — | $1,500 – $2,200 |
| 1.0m | $5,500 – $7,000 | $4,000 – $5,100 | $3,200 – $4,200 | $2,500 – $3,000 |
| 1.5m | $11,000 – $14,000 | $8,500 – $11,000 | $6,500 – $8,500 | $5,000 – $7,000 |
| 2.0m | $18,000 – $23,000 | $14,000 – $18,000 | $10,000 – $14,000 | $8,000 – $12,000 |
| 3.0m | $35,000 – $45,000+ | $28,000 – $36,000 | $20,000 – $28,000 | $15,000 – $25,000 |

Use our LED display calculator to model your circular display before requesting a quote. Enter diameter, pixel pitch, and configuration — get instant pixel count, power draw, weight, and viewing distance estimates. Five tools in one page. Use it to verify supplier numbers or build a preliminary budget.
If you receive a quote 30% or more below the ranges above, the supplier is almost certainly cutting costs through component downgrades: no-brand LEDs, 2-layer PCBs, higher scan ratios with fewer driver ICs, or thinner cabinet materials. The display may work for 6–12 months before dead pixels and colour drift appear. Always request a full bill of materials alongside every quote so you can compare component brands line by line — not just the bottom-line price.
Four Variables That Determine Round LED Screen Cost
If you understand these four levers, you can adjust your specification to hit almost any budget — without sacrificing what actually matters for your installation.
- → P2.5 = 160,000 LEDs per m² — entry-level resolution, clear from ~2.5m away
- → P1.25 = 640,000 LEDs per m² — 4× the LED count, clear from ~1.25m away
- → Going from P2.5 to P1.25 roughly doubles the module cost because LED chip count quadruples and PCB density requirements increase
- → For most commercial installations (retail, hotel lobbies, event stages) where viewers are 2–4m away, P2.5 delivers the best cost-to-visibility ratio
- → Cost scales with area, not diameter — a 2m screen has 4× the surface area of a 1m screen (area = πr²)
- → 0.5m diameter ≈ 0.2m² surface area — smallest practical size
- → 1.0m diameter ≈ 0.79m² — the most commonly ordered size
- → 3.0m diameter ≈ 7.07m² — roughly 9× larger than 1m, and priced accordingly
- → Framed (aluminium ring): standard configuration, lower cost, protected edges
- → Frameless (edge-to-edge LED): costs 30–40% more — requires custom fan-shaped PCB modules instead of standard rectangular modules
- → Frame material: aluminium (indoor) vs iron (outdoor) — iron adds ~10–15% to frame cost but is necessary for outdoor structural stability
- → Standard diameter + standard pitch = fastest production, lowest cost
- → Non-standard diameter (e.g. 1.37m) = custom frame fabrication adds 15–25%
- → Non-standard pitch (e.g. P2.0) = custom module production, minimum order quantity applies
- → Complex mounting requirements (rotating mechanism, motorised tilt) = structural engineering R&D cost is separate from display cost
Framed vs Frameless: How Much More Does Frameless Cost?
A frameless circular LED display costs 30–40% more than a framed equivalent of the same diameter and pixel pitch. Here is why — and when it is worth paying for.
| Factor | Framed | Frameless |
|---|---|---|
| Cost (1m, P2.5) | ✓ $2,500 – $3,000 | $3,500 – $4,200 |
| Module Type | ✓ Standard rectangular modules behind a circular frame — simpler, faster to produce | Custom fan-shaped PCB modules that form a true circle — requires dedicated PCB design and production run |
| Production Time | ✓ 25–30 days | 30–45 days |
| Visual Edge | Visible dark aluminium ring (~10–15mm) around the display | ✓ No visible border — LEDs extend to the extreme edge, appearing as a floating disc of light |
| Best For | Wayfinding signage, information displays, outdoor installations, budget-conscious projects | ✓ Luxury retail, hotel lobbies, brand flagship stores, museums — where aesthetics drive the specification |
Frameless circular displays use custom fan-shaped (sector) PCB modules to eliminate the outer metal ring. While visually striking, this comes with a display quality compromise: because the pixel grid follows a radial pattern rather than perpendicular rows and columns, perfectly straight lines in your content — text, logos, geometric patterns, architectural grid lines — will appear slightly wavy at module seams. For applications demanding pixel-perfect image quality (broadcast environments, fine text, corporate branding with straight-line elements), a framed circular display will deliver visibly cleaner results despite having a bezel.
Frameless modules have no outer frame to hold them in place during assembly. Each fan-shaped module must be aligned individually — and even a 1mm shift creates a visible seam. This is particularly challenging for ceiling-suspended installations, where installers work overhead adjusting module positions one by one. The process takes longer, and the exposed edge modules are more vulnerable to accidental bumps and damage during handling. For ceiling-mounted projects, factor in higher installation labour and a larger spare parts contingency.
If the display will be installed at eye level in a high-end environment where the edge is visible from multiple angles — a luxury brand store at ground level, a museum exhibit viewed up close, an art installation — frameless delivers a significantly stronger visual impact. The absence of a visible metal ring makes the display look like a deliberate piece of architecture rather than a mounted screen. But for ceiling-suspended installations 5m+ above floor level, or projects where image precision matters more than edge aesthetics, framed delivers better visual quality at lower cost and with easier installation.

Single-Sided vs Double-Sided: Cost Impact
A double-sided circular LED display costs approximately 1.8× the price of its single-sided equivalent — not quite double, because the two screens share one structural frame and one control system enclosure. Here is what the additional cost covers.
Single-sided base cost: $2,500 – $3,000
Second display side: +$2,000 – $2,400 (second set of modules + receiving card)
Shared frame reinforcement: +$300 – $500 (stronger central spine for dual-sided load)
Second receiving card & wiring: +$150 – $300
Total double-sided estimate: $4,950 – $6,200
Double-sided is the default configuration for suspended installations in shopping mall atriums, hotel lobbies, and event spaces where foot traffic approaches the display from both directions. Each side operates independently and can display different content simultaneously — two separate receiving cards handle the two sets of LED modules.
If your installation will be mounted against a wall or in a corner, single-sided is the correct choice — you are not paying for a second screen that nobody will see.
Indoor vs Outdoor Circular LED Display: The Price Difference
Outdoor circular LED displays cost 30–50% more than indoor versions of the same diameter and pixel pitch. The additional cost goes into three things that indoor displays do not need.
- → Front and rear modules must be fully sealed against water and dust ingress
- → Each module junction requires silicone gaskets and conformal coating on PCBs
- → Adds approximately $80–120 per square metre in material and labour vs indoor modules
- → Outdoor screens need 5,000+ nits to remain visible in daylight — indoor screens run at 1,000 nits
- → Higher brightness = higher-current driver ICs and more robust power supplies
- → Adds roughly 15–20% to the module BOM cost
- → Outdoor frames must use powder-coated iron instead of aluminium for structural integrity in wind and weather
- → Iron is heavier, requires anti-corrosion treatment, and costs more to machine to the same ±1mm tolerance
- → Adds approximately 10–15% to the structural frame cost
A 1-metre P2.5 outdoor circular LED display costs roughly $3,500–$4,500 EXW compared to $2,500–$3,000 for the indoor equivalent. For semi-covered outdoor spaces like covered terraces or stadium concourses where the display is protected from direct rain but exposed to humidity and temperature swings, the outdoor-rated version is still necessary — indoor modules will degrade within months in these conditions.

The Costs Most Buyers Forget to Budget For
The EXW price you see in the tables above is the display hardware cost at our Shenzhen factory gate. To get the display powered on and running at your site, four additional cost categories apply — budget 15–25% of the hardware cost on top.
A 2.0m P2.5 indoor circular display quoted at $10,000 EXW. Final landed-and-installed cost: ~$13,500. The buyer had budgeted $10,000 based on the quote alone and had to request additional budget approval for the $3,500 gap. Breakdown: sea freight $800 + import duties $1,200 + local AV installer labour $1,200 + spare modules $300.
-
Shipping & Freight — 8–15% of hardware costSea freight from Shenzhen to major ports (Los Angeles, Rotterdam, Dubai, Sydney) for a crate containing a 2m circular display typically costs $600–$1,200 depending on destination. Air freight costs 4–8× more but delivers in 5–7 days vs 15–45 days by sea. Rail freight to Europe is available at roughly 2–3× sea freight cost with 15–20 day transit.
-
Import Duties & Customs Clearance — 5–10% of hardware costDuty rates on LED displays vary by destination country and HS code classification. US: typically 0–3.9% under Section 301 (check current tariff status — this changes). EU: typically 0–4.5%. Middle East: typically 5%. Australia: typically 0–5%. Always verify duty rates with your customs broker before placing the order. DDP shipping (we handle customs clearance) is available for US, EU, Australia, and Middle East.
-
Local Installation Labour — 3–8% of hardware costWall-mounted or floor-standing circular displays typically require 1–2 technicians for half a day. Ceiling-suspended installations require structural anchoring, lifting equipment, and may need 2–3 technicians for a full day. Budget $800–$2,500 depending on installation complexity and local labour rates. We provide mounting drawings and structural load calculations — your local AV installer handles the physical installation.
-
Spare Parts Contingency — ~5% of hardware costBudget for 2–3 spare LED modules and 1 spare power supply per display. A spare module for P2.5 costs roughly $30–50; for P1.25, $60–90. Having spares on-site means a dead module can be replaced in under 5 minutes without waiting for a DHL shipment from Shenzhen.
