  • 1.  LED Panels vs Cyc

    Posted 09-05-2025 07:47

    Hi everyone,

    My high school is in the middle of designing a brand new building and auditorium.  I am located in Pennsylvania.  We are weighing in on using LED panels or a cyc.  I'd love to hear from people who have actually used either or both in an educational or community setting with their pros/cons.  Do LED panels hold up in day  to day use with students?  Have you found any limitations in content creation, brightness, maintenance?  What about cycs? We will not have the space to fly it.  What are your limitations and cons with it?  And finally, companies - please send me any companies that you have had a good experience with (as I have been tasked with getting quotes asap).  Thank you all!

    LED panels vs. a cyc?  That is not an either/or proposition. Different tools used for Different purposes.  And I would be unwilling to pick one over the other. If you're going to have LED, you still need a traditional cyc.
