Samsung The Wall IWA IW012A vs Sony Crystal LED ZRD-B12A

1.26 mm against 1.26 mm · specifications from both manufacturers' datasheets

This page puts the two sheets side by side, then builds the same wall from each tile, so the comparison is in panels, kilograms, circuits and data runs.

Whole cabinets rarely hit an identical size, so each wall is the closest build to a real video format (16:9 or 16:10) near 8 m wide for that tile: 8.06 × 4.54 m and 7.90 × 4.45 m respectively.

What the numbers say

• Both resolve to about the same density (629,882 and 623,269 pixels per square metre), so pick on weight, power or what your shop already owns rather than on image detail.
• Samsung The Wall IWA IW012A is the lighter rig: 31 kg/m² against 46 kg/m². Across this wall that is 526 kg of difference, 1,245 kg versus 1,771 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
• Sony Crystal LED ZRD-B12A draws more: 755 W/m² against 383 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 14 kW versus 26.5 kW, and 5 versus 13 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
• Data is lighter on Samsung The Wall IWA IW012A: 50 runs against 52, at 2 and 4 panels per port respectively (60 Hz, 8-bit, ports loaded to 80%). Fewer runs means fewer home runs to pull and fewer processor ports to find.
• Different cabinet formats: 806.4 × 453.6 mm against 608 × 342 mm, so 100 tiles versus 169 for the same wall. Fewer, larger cabinets build faster; smaller ones give finer control over wall dimensions and are easier to handle alone.
