Sharp LED-FC009i-165 – 165" FC-Series UHD dvLED Video Wall Kit

Product Overview

The Sharp LED-FC009i-165 is a 165-inch UHD direct view LED video wall kit built around Sharp/NEC's 0.95 mm fine pixel pitch FC-Series modules. Designed for close viewing distances of roughly 3 to 6 feet, it suits boardrooms, executive briefing centers, broadcast studios, and commercial meeting spaces where viewers sit near the screen. The complete dvLED kit includes the LED modules, controller, mounting structure, and spare parts, giving AV integrators everything needed for a turnkey LED video wall installation.

Product Description

The FC-Series uses flip chip COB (chip-on-board) LED technology, which seals the LEDs behind a protected surface for greater durability than conventional SMD displays. That construction makes the LED-FC009i-165 a strong fit for high-traffic commercial environments — retail, transportation hubs, museums, and corporate spaces — where accidental contact would damage an exposed-LED wall. COB technology is also highly energy efficient, consuming up to 40% less power than standard SMD technology at the same brightness output, which reduces operating cost over the display's 100,000-hour lifetime.

Image quality is the headline: 3840 x 2160 UHD resolution at a 0.95 mm pixel pitch, 800 cd/m² brightness, a 20,000:1 contrast ratio with deep black levels, and 16-bit color processing capable of 281 trillion colors. Refresh rates up to 3840 Hz keep the wall flicker-free on camera for broadcast and hybrid meeting applications.

For installation and service, the cabinets require no external cables between modules, and the wall is fully front serviceable — hot-swappable pixel cards can be replaced without powering down the display. The shallow installed depth and reduced weight expand mounting options and help meet ADA protrusion requirements in corridors and lobbies. The kit ships with 36 LED cabinets (288 pixel cards), LED controller, power bar, 6x6 wall mount and overframe kit, spare parts kit, and a pixel card removal tool. Price does not include installation — contact Creation Networks for commercial deployment support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What viewing distance suits the LED-FC009i-165?

With a 0.95 mm fine pixel pitch, this dvLED video wall is designed for close viewing of approximately 3 to 6 feet — ideal for boardrooms, briefing centers, and commercial meeting spaces where participants sit near the display.

What is included in the kit?

The kit ships with the LED controller, 36 LED cabinets with 288 pixel cards, a 6x6 wall mount and overframe kit, power bar, spare parts kit, and a pixel card removal tool — everything required for a complete LED video wall installation. Installation labor is not included; contact Creation Networks for deployment assistance.

How does COB technology benefit a commercial installation?

Flip chip COB seals each LED behind a protective layer, making the wall resistant to impact and dust in high-traffic environments. It also consumes up to 40% less power than equivalent SMD displays at the same brightness, lowering operating costs.

Can the wall be serviced without downtime?

Yes. Pixel cards are hot-swappable from the front of the wall and can be replaced without powering the display off, which keeps content running in always-on signage and meeting room environments.

How do I connect sources and control systems?

The included LED controller provides an HDMI video input plus GenLock and LAN connections for integration with room control and AV-over-IP systems.

What warranty applies?

The LED-FC009i-165 includes a 3-year limited warranty, with extended planning, installation, and maintenance support programs available through Sharp/NEC.
