A jumbotron display can bring a cinematic experience to your events or make movie night a Hollywood premiere experience.
This guide walks you through creating a jumbotron using basic materials, making it both affordable and customizable.
LED panels are the heart of your Jumbotron. Consider the size, resolution and brightness level you need.
Construct a sturdy frame to support your panels. You can use materials like aluminum or wood. Measure the frame carefully to ensure it fits all the LED panels securely.
Mount each LED panel onto the frame, ensuring they are aligned and tightly secured. Use screws or mounts that fit with your frame material.
Connect the panels with appropriate wiring, linking each one according to the configuration provided by the control board.
Connect the control board to your LED panels. This device will manage the images and videos displayed on the screen.
Choose a power source that matches your jumbotron’s power needs. For a portable option, you could try a generator.
Install and configure software to control the display’s content. Software options range from simple media players to specialized apps for managing large LED displays.
Congratulations! You’ve built a DIY jumbotron. Customize the frame or add finishing touches to make it stand out and show your personality.
Enjoy your new display for movies, gaming or event screenings.
