This is a P2.5 indoor LED screen for a church in Ghana, installed in September 2026 at Bread of Life Methodist Church, Dansoman, Accra: a 6.08 × 2.4 m sanctuary wall plus a 1.92 × 1.44 m screen in the balcony. The photos below were taken during and after installation, on site.

The Church and the Room
Bread of Life Society is a Methodist society in Dansoman, a residential district west of central Accra. The sanctuary is a high-ceilinged hall with cream walls, a tiled centre aisle, burgundy and gold pews, ceiling fans, and a balcony running across the rear. A pale wooden cross hangs on the front wall, above the doors the congregation walks through.
That cross and those doors set the constraint. The screen could not cover the cross, could not block the doors, and could not sit so low that the front pews lose sight of it. What was left was a horizontal band, roughly 6 m wide and 2.4 m high, directly above the door line. The photo below is that band, lit.
Two Screens, Not One
The brief was two screens. The main wall serves the sanctuary. The smaller 1.92 × 1.44 m screen hangs in the balcony at the rear, so the people seated upstairs — and the people standing at the back on a full Sunday — see the same content without craning at a 6 m wall from behind.
This is a common pattern in Ghanaian and Nigerian churches of this size, and it is usually cheaper than specifying one larger wall: the balcony screen is a single small panel, but it fixes the sightline problem that a bigger front wall cannot fix.
Why P2.5 for This Room
The viewing-distance sum
P2.5 means a 2.5 mm gap between pixel centres. The working rule is that a viewer needs roughly 1,000 × the pitch in millimetres before individual pixels stop being visible, so about 2.5 m here. In this sanctuary the nearest pew is around 4–5 m from the front wall and the back row is close to 18–20 m. P2.5 sits comfortably inside that range.
Why the resolution matters more than the pitch number
The wall resolves 2,432 × 960 pixels. That is not 16:9 — it is 2.53:1 — so a 16:9 camera feed either letterboxes with black bands top and bottom or gets cropped. The church’s own slides are designed at the wall’s native ratio, which is why the text in the photos fills the full width with no bars.
Text legibility is the test in a room this deep. At 2,432 px across a 6.08 m wall, a capital letter 80 px tall is about 200 mm on the wall — readable from the back row. At a P4 wall of the same size the pixel count would drop to 1,520 across, and the same text would be noticeably rougher from 20 m away.
Installation: What the Photos Show
One photo shows the wall with two sections of red scaffolding still standing in front of it, and the floor not yet cleared. That is the honest state of a church install: the screen goes up while the room is still a working site, because the building cannot close for a week.
The wall mounts flat against the plaster, above the door head, with the cross left in place. Because the cabinet is 60 mm deep and 3 kg, the fixing goes into the wall rather than into a separate steel frame — the reason this kind of wall can be retrofitted into an existing sanctuary without a structural survey or a suspended truss.
The balcony screen hangs from the balcony fascia on the same principle. Both screens run from the same control position, so one operator drives the service slides, the camera feed and the lyric display from a single laptop.
Built for the Livestream
The content on screen in the photos gives away the use case: the slides carry YouTube and Facebook LIVE badges, the church’s social handles, and a line asking viewers where they are watching from. This is a congregation that streams its Sunday service, and that changes the specification.
On camera, a low-refresh LED wall shows horizontal banding that the naked eye never sees in the room. The Ehonor Pro boards are rated at 3,840 Hz, which is the level where broadcast cameras and phones stop picking up scan lines. For a church that records or streams every week, that is not a nice-to-have — it is the difference between a usable recording and a striped one.
What Drives the Cost of a Similar Church Screen in Ghana
Four variables decide the budget for a two-screen church installation like this one:
- The main wall’s area, not its width. 6.08 × 2.4 m is 14.6 ㎡. Going to 3 m high adds 3.6 ㎡ and a row of modules — often the single biggest line item.
- Pitch. P2.5 is the common sanctuary choice. Dropping to P1.86 or P2 raises the cost per square metre sharply; staying at P3.076 lowers it but starts to show at the front pews.
- The second screen. A 1.92 × 1.44 m balcony panel is a modest addition in materials but needs its own mounting, cabling and control path.
- Control and installation. One processor driving two screens, plus the fixing into an existing wall, is site work rather than product cost — and in an occupied building it is scheduled around service times.
We quote per project rather than publishing a per-square-metre rate, because the mounting conditions in an existing sanctuary vary more than the panel price does. Send the wall opening, the height above the floor and the viewing distance from the back row, and the quote will be specific.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a P2.5 church LED screen cost in Ghana?
It depends on the wall area, the pitch, whether there is a second screen, and the mounting conditions. A 14.6 ㎡ main wall plus a 2.8 ㎡ balcony screen is a two-screen project, not a single panel, so it is quoted as one system. Send the dimensions for a project-specific figure.
Can you ship and install a church LED screen in Ghana?
Yes. Screens ship to Tema or Takoradi by sea, with air freight available when a date is fixed, and installation is carried out with a local crew using our mounting drawings and commissioning support. Ghana runs on 230 V / 50 Hz, which the Ehonor power supplies accept directly.
P2.5 or P3.076 for a church sanctuary?
P2.5 if the front pews are 4–5 m from the wall or closer, or if the church streams. P3.076 is a reasonable choice where the nearest seat is 6 m or more back and the budget is tight. Both use the same 480 × 320 mm cabinet, so spares and mounting are identical.
Will the screen flicker on our livestream?
Not at 3,840 Hz. Camera banding appears at low refresh rates; at 3,840 Hz phones and broadcast cameras record a solid image. If a church only ever uses the screen for slides and never films it, a 1,920 Hz board is cheaper and adequate.
Can the cross and the doors stay?
In this installation, yes — the wall sits above the door head and the cross was left in place. The constraint is the available band of flat wall. Send a photo of the front elevation and we will mark the maximum screen size on it.
How long does installation take?
A wall of this size is normally a multi-day job including mounting, cabling, commissioning and a test service, scheduled around the church calendar. The exact schedule depends on the wall condition and whether scaffolding is needed.

Send three things and we will return a layout and a landed price for Ghana: a photo of the front wall with the doors and cross marked, the distance from the front pew to the wall, and whether the church streams its services. If you are also considering a balcony or overflow screen, say so — it is the cheapest way to fix sightlines at the back.
