Cinecittà’s Multiplexkino in Nuremberg Plans World’s Largest Curved LED Cinema Screen
A major cinema upgrade is headed to Cinecittà’ Multiplexkino in Nuremberg, with plans to bring the world’s largest LED cinema screen online by this coming autumn. The Cinemagnum hall is set to move away from a traditional projector setup and instead rely on a curved LED wall designed to improve both image quality and sound performance.
For the Cinemagnum auditorium, the theater will replace the projector approach with a curved LED display measuring 30 meters across and 16 meters high. The wall is being built using GDC Technology’s “Tricorne Premium LED” panels, and the manufacturer claims the installation will create the largest LED cinema surface area in the world—totaling 480 square meters. To give a sense of scale, the announcement compares that area to what you’d get from typical 65-inch living-room televisions, stating that the screen-equivalent in Nuremberg is roughly the space of about 413 such sets.
GDC Technology’s announcement describes the resolution as “8K+,” but it does not provide a precise pixel count for the full system. The move to self-illuminating diodes is positioned as a way to deliver structural advantages associated with OLED and Micro-LED displays—specifically, “true black,” higher contrast, and improved HDR. The manufacturer also highlights that the LED approach eliminates drawbacks tied to a projected light path.
Sound is also getting a redesign tailored to a massive LED wall. In conventional LED-heavy setups, speakers can be forced to come from above, below, or the sides because large screens can be too blocking for audio to pass through. GDC’s modules are described as micro-perforated, with tiny openings between the diodes intended to let sound travel through the wall itself.
The Cinemagnum hall plans to pair the new screen with one of the largest Dolby Atmos systems used in cinemas. The goal is a more integrated audio experience than setups that rely on the screen acting purely as a visual barrier.
On the presentation side, the theater intends to continue offering 3D screenings using active shutter glasses. The manufacturer expects the LED display’s brightness to help offset the brightness loss that shutter glasses normally cause, improving the practicality of 3D playback on the new technology.
GDC also says it has already seen adoption momentum for the Tricorne Premium LED panels, reporting 25 installed or ordered systems worldwide within the first six months after the public reveal. As an example of what’s already in motion, a 17-meter-wide version is listed in Madrid.
