Video wall installation,
engineered before the first panel ships.

What is a video wall installation?

A system, not a product: display tiles, a video wall processor, a mount engineered to your structure, power, network and control. All of it is assembled to a room, a viewing distance and a content plan. Two walls that look identical in a photo can differ in cost by three times, and both prices can be fair. That is why we walk the space before quoting a number.

We design the wall, run the cabling through commercial infrastructure, mount and align the tiles and install the processor. We write the Control4 layouts, train your team and answer the phone after launch. Our own team designs every wall; on commercial projects we bring in licensed trade partners under our design and supervision. The commercial hub shows the rest of the building.

LCD or direct-view LED?

LCD for controlled-light rooms and content that tolerates hairline seams. Direct-view LED where the wall must have no seams, be very large or very bright, or be viewed as one canvas. Narrow-bezel commercial LCD panels have gaps under half a millimeter. Dashboards, tiled camera feeds, menus, wayfinding and most lobby content read well on them at normal distance for a fraction of LED cost. Direct-view LED uses modular tiles with no bezels, higher brightness and free sizing, and typically runs several times the cost of an equivalent LCD wall.

On LED, pixel pitch is matched to the closest viewer. Paying for a finer pitch than your sightlines can resolve is the most common source of wasted spend, so we specify to the room, not the brochure. Commercial panels of either kind cost more than consumer TVs because they are rated for continuous operation and color-matched for tiling. Consumer displays in a commercial duty cycle fail in a few years.

Which layouts and content modes?

2x2, 3x3, 4x2 and 3x1 portrait arrays, plus custom layouts, each switchable between modes in one tap. Unified mode runs one image across every tile for lobby branding or a live event. Quad mode gives four independent zones for games, news, dashboards and camera views.

Feature mode puts one dominant source beside supporting feeds for a command center or briefing. Data mode tiles a grid for network operations, security monitoring or logistics. Control4 scenes switch between them, scheduled content runs on its own, and camera feeds from business security route to any tile. Signal comes over HDMI over IP or matrix switching, engineered per project.

Where do video walls go?

Corporate lobbies and reception, operations and network operations centers, sports bars and venues, worship spaces, campus and institutional rooms, healthcare waiting areas and retail showrooms. A lobby wall runs brand content and live data on a schedule. An operations room needs multi-source input and no tolerance for downtime, so the processor and network are specified for uptime. A bar pairs the wall with zoned audio and scene control from bar and restaurant AV so staff run the room from one tap.

A showroom makes the display part of the sale. Where one screen does the job, we install a large format display instead. A boardroom wall belongs with the conference room build, and a hotel lobby wall with the lodging scope. The lighting around it belongs with PoE lighting, and a lobby still under construction with a solar security tower until the cameras go in.

What does it cost?

As of September 2026 our installed video walls run $12,000 to $120,000 or more, and the site assessment turns that range into a fixed proposal. The entry tier, $12,000 to $28,000, covers a 2x2 LCD wall with basic content management and Control4 scene integration. The middle tier, $28,000 to $65,000, covers a 3x3 LCD or small direct-view LED wall with multi-source routing, full Control4 integration and structured cabling. The top tier, $65,000 to $120,000 or more, covers large direct-view LED, fine-pitch tile, command center builds and multi-room installs.

The ranges include displays, mounting, processor, cabling, commissioning and labor; Washington sales tax is added as a line item on the invoice. Three costs sit outside a display quote and belong in the budget from day one. The first is dedicated electrical circuits for a large LED wall at full brightness. The second is structural reinforcement when the framing is not rated for the load, and the third is network build-out when the room lacks commercial cabling and switching.

Every one of them is knowable before you sign, which is the argument for a site assessment before any number. The instant quote gives you a first figure in a few minutes.

How does the process work?

Site assessment within a week, a written proposal with drawings, and two to six weeks from kick-off to commissioning. At the assessment we measure sightlines and ambient light, check the framing and the electrical, and map every infrastructure dependency. The proposal specifies display configuration, mounting, signal routing, the Control4 plan, coordination drawings and a timeline, so your GC, electrician and interior team have what they need before pull day.

Installation covers structural mounting, low-voltage wiring, hardware commissioning, alignment, programming and content setup. Handoff includes training, and the support that follows comes from the people who built it. In Kent, a food and beverage company's culinary event space got a 2x2 Samsung commercial wall with independent and grouped zones, controlled from one Control4 interface. It ran its first client showcase without a technical issue.

Where do we work?

From 415 Railroad Ave S, Kent, WA 98032, across south King County and Pierce County. That includes Tacoma, Kent, Renton, Tukwila, Federal Way, Auburn, Covington and Maple Valley, Puyallup, Sumner, Bonney Lake, Tehaleh, University Place and Gig Harbor. The Olympic Peninsula is by appointment. We are asked about Seattle video walls often; our base is Kent, and we travel for commercial work outside the area by quote. Seattle projects are on the Seattle commercial AV page. Smaller screens, menu boards and waiting-room displays are on the digital signage page.

Rivas Group, LLC dba Rivas Technology Group holds WA electrical contractor license RIVASGL799DR, active, bonded and insured (L&I lookup). It is BBB accredited with an A+ rating, and is rated 5.0 from 49 Google reviews. The security hub covers the cameras a wall can display. Our commercial AV consulting specifies the wall before your GC bids it. The Clyde's BBQ, South Sound Law Group and Washington Pottery Company pages show our commercial work.
