How many LED panels does a wall need, and what resolution is it?
Divide each side by the panel. Rental walls are built from 500 mm (19.7 in) panels, so a 16 × 9 ft wall is 10 × 5 panels, 16'-4 7/8" × 8'-2 7/16" as built, and 1920 × 960 pixels at P2.6.

Panels are 500 × 500 mm with 192, 168 and 128 pixels a side, printed as P2.6, P2.9 and P3.9. Each side takes the nearest whole number of panels, so the wall you get is a few inches off the size asked for; the calculator also gives the whole-panel sizes either side, for when the opening is the limit.
