The wall looks perfect at doors. Mid-set, a vertical stripe goes black for a second, comes back, then does it again. Or the whole surface dies while the processor still shows content on its preview. Someone says “we bought dual backup.” Someone else asks which dual.

If you have been shopping fine-pitch indoor LED in 2026, you have heard two slogans. One says COB won. The other says MIP replaces COB. Both oversell.

Glue on Board (GOB) adds a cured protective layer over an assembled SMD LED module. It can improve resistance to bumps, dust, moisture and static — but it is not a universal upgrade over SMD or COB.

Peak watts size the circuit and the generator. Average watts size the electricity bill. How church and rental LED walls get both numbers wrong.
