Going bigger is never a bad idea if we’re talking about screens. Digital signage technology is meant to turn heads, engage and ensure the “wow” effect. Also, it’s always exciting to see where the industry is heading with megalomania. Kitcast invites you on a tour of the biggest screens in the world.
1. The Sphere – Las Vegas
Size: 580,000 square feet
Why: Las Vegas Sphere is officially the largest video-capable screen in the world. This structure dominated the visual agenda in 2024. We wrote about the top ad campaigns on The Sphere and many concerts were organized inside the unique venue. This Las Vegas gimmick turned out to be the most exciting digital signage installation in our recent memory.
Everything just works for the show here. The spherical exterior features 1.23 million puck-shaped LEDs and forms the world’s most spellbinding DOOH display. Brands love it too even though it isn’t cheap. It was reported that you have to spend $450,000 per day or $650,000 per week to get a placement there.
And let’s not forget about the interior. A wraparound 160,000-square-foot LED there is a work of art and a feat of display engineering. It’s also the highest-resolution LED screen in the world with its impressive 16,000 × 16,000 capabilities.
So far, Las Vegas Sphere is the coolest screen humanity ever created.
2. M+ Facade – Hong Kong
Size: 77,909 square feet
Why: some screens define the cityscape. M+ Facade in Hong Kong is that case. 65.8 meters in height and 110 meters in width, this digital signage installation is among the largest art screens in the world. It is located in the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) and overlooks the iconic Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbor. With 5,600 LEDs, it’s immediately visible from every vantage point. M+ Facade serves as a digital canvas for artwork and is a part of the M+ art museum, a highlight of the city’s cultural scene that was inaugurated in 2021.
The screen has a so-called “hybrid” LED system with two different types of LEDs: high-power (for viewing from a distance) and low-power (for close-up viewing). There’s also a light sensor that calibrates contrast and colors according to the viewing conditions. A smart and innovative piece of digital art engineering it is.
3. Mexico City Arena – Mexico City
Size: 64,484 square feet
Why: opened in 2012, Mexico City Arena is big and bold. Its primary goal is to serve as a great space for all things entertainment. The building’s most notorious feature, though, is the gigantic facade display. With 64,484 square feet of size, it’s a giant. Provided by Darktronics, it serves as a spectacular DOOH installation showing advertising, game announcements and creative brand campaigns.
By the way, Mexico City Arena is a triumph of digital signage for sports. Apart from the big outdoor screen, the venue features a 700-square-meter indoor screen in the centerhung and 850 LCD screens inside. And that’s how you create a memorable visual network at a stadium.
4. Allegiant Stadium – Las Vegas
Size: 27,600 square feet
Why: it may not be the biggest screen in the world by size, but Allegiant Stadium’s LED is certainly among the most stylish ones in the big screen category. The centerpiece here is the spectacular 27,600-square-foot Samsung outdoor LED mesh display. It faces the Las Vegas Strip and holds a record for being the largest outdoor stadium marquee in professional football.
Allegiant Stadium is a digital signage-first venue for 65,000 spectators and a state-of-the-art network of screens. Samsung did a great job creating a visual strategy for this one. There are 2,550 displays, 41 LED digital videoboards and 3 4K HDR-capable videoboards.
5. New York Marriott Marquis – New York City
Size: 25,610 square feet
Why: there are screens and there are icons. The New York Marriott Marquis is a landmark of Times Square. Just to be clear here, Times Square is one of the most important digital signage locations in the world featuring many innovative screens. The Marriott Marquis’ facade features a 25,610-square-foot LED by Mitsubishi Electric and Diamond Vision. It is capable of dividing the screen space to feature different ads or act as a unified “canvas” for one big installation.
6. Gillette Stadium Videoboard – Foxborough
Size: 22,200 square feet
Why: the largest outdoor videoboard in the US is in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Developed by Darktronics and unveiled in 2023, the stadium’s screen is a sight to behold for any sports fan. The curved-radius display is 60 feet high by 370 feet wide and occupies the North End Zone. Darktronics didn’t stop there also deploying a total of 48,500 square feet of screens featuring 47 LEDs around the stadium.
7. Palms Casino Resort mesh display – Las Vegas
Size: 21,488 square feet
Why: we’re in Las Vegas again and there’s another unmissable big screen to mention. Meet a 272-foot tall LED mesh wall gracing the Strip-facing side of the Palms Casino Resort. It looks stunning during nighttime and the installation has enough visual power to be visible during the day too (even though it’s a more transparent mesh LED). Overall, it became an interesting addition to Las Vegas digital canvas since its inauguration in 2019.
8. Citi Field scoreboard – New York
Size: 17,400 square feet
Why: there are different variations of what a “big screen” is and many ways to break records. For example, New York’s Citi Field (home to the Mets) has the largest videoboard in Major League Baseball. Compared to the Las Vegas Sphere, it’s minuscule. Compared to other scoreboards, it’s a giant.
The screen is the fruit of a collaboration between Samsung and the New York Mets that brought a 17,400-square-foot LED screen on the front and a 6,900-square-foot at the back of the stadium. To make the digital side even beefier, Samsung installed the 3D anamorphic, two-sided LED display at the stadium’s concourse.
Here’s our previous list of the biggest screens in the world
Here are the biggest screens in the world. They impress, they take your breath away, and they are the most grande form of digital signage. The geography here is quite diverse too.

So let’s see the biggest screens to understand what displays are capable of.
1. Fremont Street Experience Las Vegas
Size: 130,000 square feet
Why: officially, the second-biggest screen in the world, Fremont Street Experience’s Viva Vision is a sight to behold. Located in Las Vegas, it’s an unmissable attraction in itself with almost unlimited visual capabilities.
Just look at the stats. 49 million energy-efficient LEDs, 220 speakers, 5,000 Nits brightness, and a slick canopied look. That’s a fantastic application of digital signage technology on a large scale. Also, it’s not your classic screen, it’s a creatively done “prolonged” display experience that allows a multitude of content combinations.
2. Resorts World Las Vegas
Size: 161,636 square feet
Why: unveiled in 2020, the Resorts World screen is a different kind of technological beast. Occupying almost all of the West Tower of the hotel complex, the screen in question is a gigantic installation capable of showing mind-blowing content. Moreover, it’s designed in an innovative way that allows the guests in the rooms to have a fully transparent window view. The display is 294 feet in height and 340 feet, has a brightness of 8,000nit, and is constructed to operate in high-temperature conditions.
3. Mall Taman Anggrek – Jakarta, Indonesia
Size: 93,380 square feet
Why: once leading the list of the biggest screens in the world, Jakarta’s Orchid Garden Mall boasts one of the most impressive display installations ever designed. Seriously, at some point, the mall’s long LED display has been recognized by Guinness World Records. Today it still runs pretty strong in the “impressing the passers-by” department and delivers a stunning visual experience with an immediately recognizable long facade.
4. The Place – Beijing, China
Size: 80,360 square feet
Why: another glorious representative of canopied mega screens, the display at The Place shopping mall in Beijing is nothing short of spectacular.

5. Infinity Screen by Samsung
Size: 70,000 square feet
Why: this is the definite screen hit from 2021. Samsung went above and beyond here to deliver a display that is ovular, double-sided, and absolutely irresistible. It comes with 80 million pixels and a weight of 2.2 million pounds. It’s quite a rare usage of a gigantic screen not for shopping gallery purposes, but for a stadium experience. Judging from the reviews and the overall looks of the installation, it’s safe to say that Infinity Screen is among the most stunning biggest screens in the world.
6. Citigroup Tower Shanghai
Size: 64,914 square feet
Why: it’s one thing to have a big screen, it’s another kind of experience when a whole skyscraper is a big screen. That’s the case of Shanghai’s Citigroup Tower. Illuminating in the evening, it’s a wonderful piece of digital signage engineering that is capable of showing 3D billboards and broadcasting a wide range of content. It’s also one of the icons of the city’s skyline, which is quite a cool thing in itself.
7. Tauron Arena – Krakow, Poland
Size: 54,896 square feet
Why: this amazing application of the big screen technology surprisingly comes from Central Europe. It’s in the Polish city of Krakow that you find one of the biggest screens in the world. The stunning LED display here is wrapped around the stadium making for a beautiful show of light. It’s also among the largest LED screen in Europe.
8. Mercedes-Benz Stadium Halo Board – Atlanta
Size: 62,350 square feet
Why: we love to see an arena that fully embraces the powers of digital signage. Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium is such a place. The centerpiece of technology here is the magnificent Halo Board. Deployed by Darktronics, it’s a 360-degree, 58 feet tall gargantuan video screen that has few rivals in the world when it comes to delivering an unforgettable show for the fans of the game. But it doesn’t stop with the Halo Board, there are also LED boards covering almost 20,000 square feet of the stadium so the visitors are getting a truly unique digital signage experience.
