(September 1, 2025) Quantum Media Systems is once again moving the needle for luxury residential video walls, introducing an industry-first 0.7mm pixel pitch for its XDR4-8K Extreme LED Wall. This advance, set to break ground at CEDIA Expo 2025, sets a new reference point for fine-pitch LED in the home theater market. By tightening the pixel pitch to 0.7mm, Quantum has enabled its wall to deliver native 8K resolution at closer seating distances, a capability that dramatically expands installation possibilities for both dedicated theaters and multipurpose spaces.
Ken Hoffman, owner of Quantum Media Systems, described the leap in practical terms: “Our new 0.7mm pixel pitch not only improves the clarity and realism of the image, it also transforms how close an audience can sit to the screen without any visible pixelation. With a traditional 1.2mm pitch, the optimal viewing distance is around 12 feet. With our 0.7mm pixel pitch, that distance is cut in half, to about 6 feet, without compromising image fidelity.”
That kind of flexibility speaks directly to the realities of today’s custom installations. Home theaters are no longer always cavernous rooms with 20-foot throw distances. Increasingly, video walls are being deployed in mixed-use living spaces and media rooms where viewers may sit closer to the screen. Quantum’s new pitch makes seamless, cinematic clarity achievable in these environments without resorting to smaller displays.
The engineering is also designed to hold up against competitors who claim even finer pitches. Hoffman emphasized that Quantum’s new design was not simply about numbers on a spec sheet: “Thanks to our proprietary engineering and superior calibration, our 0.7mm pixel pitch actually delivers in-field results that meet or exceed the visual quality of other brands’ 0.6mm claims. That means integrators can offer elite clients an even better solution, with less power consumption and improved reliability.”
And that brings us to Quantum's other CEDIA splash: the debut of its XDR4-8K Extreme LED Wall, the AV industry’s first 8K Digital Cinema–compliant LED display explicitly engineered for the residential market. That certification is significant because it means the wall is capable of playing back content at the same resolution, color accuracy, and frame rate demanded by Hollywood studios for professional screenings. For homeowners, it translates to a system that does not approximate cinema quality; it actually meets the bar set for commercial theaters.
“We’ve reached a turning point where display technology can finally meet the expectations of content creators, colorists, and directors,” explains Ken Hoffman, owner of Quantum Media Systems. “With our XDR4-8K Extreme LED Wall, viewers are not just watching content, they are experiencing it at the same resolution, color accuracy, and frame rate as it was mastered for the big screen. That is a game changer not only for luxury AV but for the entire home entertainment category.”
The wall itself integrates Quantum’s proprietary processing and calibration, which are performed on-site by the company’s in-house imaging specialists. Combined with a native 8K panel, HDMI 2.1, 120Hz refresh rate, and full P3 color coverage, the result is uncompromising image fidelity, whether the wall is installed in a dedicated theater, a multipurpose media room, or even a Hollywood executive’s private screening space. Its ability to automatically adjust aspect ratios—shifting seamlessly between 2.39:1 Cinemascope, 2.0:1, 1.85:1, and 16:9—makes it equally adept with streamed content, gaming, and first-run DCI releases from the Bel Air Circuit.
Cinematographer David Stump, ASC BVK, framed it in the context of how this technology can influence creative work: “Quantum Media Systems’ new DCI-listed LED screen technology provides a new foundation for excellence in storytelling. It improves presentation quality, reduces ambient light sensitivity issues, and allows for the creation of smaller, more immersive theaters—even in spaces where traditional projection systems were never viable."
For all the impressive specs, Quantum knows that a video wall is only as good as the installation behind it. That is why the company has invested heavily in a comprehensive White-Glove Service, a turnkey model designed to ensure every XDR4-8K system performs at its full potential. From the initial design consultation to final calibration, Quantum’s specialists work closely with integrators, providing detailed schematics for HVAC, cabling, power, and construction materials. They then deliver, install, and calibrate the entire wall on-site, managing every step of the process to studio-grade standards.
Ken Hoffman, CEO of Quantum Media Systems, describes it as an extension of the integration team itself: “We go beyond simply providing a display. We help ensure every element of the video wall ecosystem works in harmony. From networking to control system integration, we are there to support the entire process and deliver optimal performance. Our goal is preserving the film director’s intent while maximizing the viewing experience for any AV source, whether it is streamed content, a gaming console, or first-run DCI-compliant studio releases from the Bel Air Circuit.”
Despite the process being highly refined, installation can be completed in as little as a week, with Quantum handling everything from frame construction to LED panel placement and CAT6 terminations. Once complete, the team performs environment-specific calibration and full commissioning of each source device, guaranteeing reference-quality playback. Spare, pre-calibrated modules are also provided, allowing quick diode-level repairs and reducing the risk of costly downtime.
For integrators, this service enables the delivery of a cutting-edge 8K, DCI-compliant video wall without the steep learning curve or risk typically associated with fine-pitch LED technology. For homeowners, it ensures that the wall is not just installed but optimized to the highest possible standard. Combined with Quantum’s new 0.7mm pixel pitch and the world’s first 8K DCI-certified residential LED wall, the White-Glove Service positions the company as one of the most complete and reliable partners in the high-end AV space.
