LED Video Wall Rental for DEF CON
Rent a seamless, fine-pitch LED video wall for your DEF CON booth at Las Vegas Convention Center — sizes, pixel pitch, content, and what wins in a Cybersecurity / hacking hall.
An LED video wall is the single fastest way to make your DEF CON booth impossible to walk past. For a cybersecurity / hacking audience at Las Vegas Convention Center, we rent seamless, fine-pitch LED in whatever shape your booth needs — and unlike most companies quoting DEF CON, we own the panels, so the prices below are ours to honour rather than a reseller's markup.
What an LED wall costs at DEF CON
Two ways to buy it. Rent per show, or buy the hardware and stop paying rental on every future show — on these rates the crossover is roughly two shows.
| Item | Buy | Rent per day | Setup & teardown |
|---|---|---|---|
| LED poster (2.3' x 6.5') | $3,200 + tax | $300 – $400 | $500 per poster |
| Tri-fold LED poster | $4,200 + tax | $400 – $500 | $600 |
| 3-sided LED tower (12' tall) | $35,000 | up to $6,500 | $1,800 |
| Curved LED panels | Quote on request | $200 – $250 per panel | Quoted with the build |
How much LED fits your DEF CON booth
Posters join into walls and the tower's panels build walls too, so an DEF CON LED budget usually starts as a panel count rather than a square-footage quote. Here is what each booth size typically takes.
| Booth size | Typical wall | Panels | Rent per show |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10x10 inline | 8' x 6' backwall screen | 12 panels (4 wide x 3 high) | $2,400 – $3,000 |
| 10x20 inline | 12' x 8' backwall wall | 24 panels (6 wide x 4 high) | $4,800 – $6,000 |
| 20x20 island | 16' x 9' hero wall | 36 panels (8 wide x 4 high) | $7,200 – $9,000 |
| 20x30 island | 20' x 10' wall + side towers | 50–60 panels | $10,000 – $15,000 |
| 30x30+ island | Wrap-around or hanging canvas | 80+ panels | Quoted with the build |
Rent-per-show bands assume a standard Las Vegas show run with install and dismantle. See the LED cost guide for the full rent-versus-buy arithmetic and the pixel pitch guide for choosing a pitch by viewing distance.
Specs we run
- Pixel pitch — 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 1.9mm, 2.6mm and 3.9mm. Rule of thumb: your closest viewer's distance in metres is roughly the coarsest pitch in millimetres you can get away with, so a wall people read from 2m wants 1.9mm or finer.
- Brightness — 800–1,500 nits indoors, which is what it takes to read under Las Vegas Convention Center hall lighting. High-bright panels available for anything near a window or an entrance.
- Shapes — flat, curved, 90° corners, freestanding towers, hanging circles and cubes.
- Content — live playback, looped brand reels, or real-time feeds and demos; we take MP4, HDMI or a live laptop feed. See running content on a booth LED wall.
Power and rigging at Las Vegas Convention Center
The wall is the easy part; the venue paperwork is where LED budgets break at DEF CON.
- Electrical is priced by your deadline — advance orders typically run 30–50% under floor pricing for the identical drop. Get your panel count finalised early so we can put the power draw in writing before the advance deadline.
- Hanging anything is the trades' work — The LVCC leans union, but it's largely up to each show's rules: a lot of display work — LED posters, SEG lightboxes, backwalls, fabric, ground-supported LED walls, and booth set/dismantle — can be exhibitor- or vendor-installed, while electrical beyond simple plug-in and any overhead rigging or hanging signs go to union trades (Teamsters, electricians & riggers). Confirm the specifics in your show's exhibitor manual.
- Freight and docks — The campus spans the West, Central, North and South halls with extensive docks; the West Hall offers dedicated ground-level drive-on access for vehicles and heavy equipment.
- Drayage on panels — Material handling (drayage) at the LVCC is billed per hundredweight by the show's official general contractor — published rates run from about $0.70 to $1.85 per lb depending on the show (CES 2027 lists $0.71, NAB 2026 listed $1.84), with weight minimums — so palletizing and advance-warehouse shipping save real money.
