- How much power does the Absen AW2.8 draw?
- Each Absen AW2.8 cabinet draws up to 183 W at full white and about 61 W with typical content — 732 W/m² max. A 10-cabinet wall therefore needs up to 1,830 W plus headroom.
- What is the resolution of the Absen AW2.8?
- One cabinet is 176 × 176 pixels at a 2.84 mm pixel pitch (123,904 px/m²). About 22 cabinets side by side reach 4K width (≈ 11.00 m).
- How heavy is a Absen AW2.8 wall?
- A single cabinet weighs 7 kg (28 kg/m²). A 5 × 3 wall of 15 cabinets weighs about 105 kg before mounting structure.
- Is the Absen AW2.8 suitable for outdoor use?
- Yes — it is rated for outdoor use with IP65 front ingress protection and 5,000 nits of calibrated brightness.
