Artistic, mosaic or architectural video walls[1] are video walls that do not follow a more traditional grid or matrix pattern. Instead of the more common configuration of 2x2 or 3x3, artistic video walls allow users to display a single image, video or display canvas across displays arranged ad hoc and at different angles. This allows users to design unusual configurations: EX. layouts that attract attention, or serve as a unique artistic feature in a public space.[2]

Source rotation

The simplest approach to a 'unique' video wall is to rotate the source content which allows end users to rotate the actual displays. By using a mix of portrait and landscape displays this allows users to deploy a video wall that is not a simple matrix, however this approach is limited to keeping all displays at the same angle.[3]

Any angle rotation

Any angle rotation allows individual displays to rotate to any angle allowing greater flexibility in the video wall lay out.[4]

Mix of display types and sizes

An additional feature of some video walls is the ability to mix display sizes and types. Instead of requiring a set of uniform displays, users can mix and match displays of different sizes and aspect ratio.[5]
