A few years ago, I mounted a few screens and frames on a big, empty white wall in our home. They were each hooked up to raspberry pi’s running a super basic photo album program. They worked fine, but I had always something bigger and better 🙂 Here’s the “after” shot - I have a few in-progress I can share, but new users are only able to post one photo… ![1](https://community.info-beamer.com/uploads/default/original/1X/a5778c7e04cb12b4d0b4482807b94861e6e11e7b.png) ---

I should have upgraded you from new user. You should be able to post more photos of that awesome setup! 🙂 ---

Thanks again for posting. I’ve linked to this post from [reddit](https://old.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/bj251b/diy_7_screen_photovideo_wall_using_raspberry_pis/) and the question of how you managed to match the colors across screens so well. I guess a lot of tuning? ---

Hi, This is so great. May I ask if you have done this with info-beamer hosted or with the Raspberry version? I also want to build similar - different shape- for my home, but I do not have the money to afford the monthly licence, just for my personal use. My wife would kill me to spend some 100€ per year. I got 9 screens very cheap (8€ per screen) old dell monitor. All are still working pretty good. So I had the hope that you maybe have solved this with the community edition and not the paid one. Then I would very interested how you did and what lua code I have to choose. Best Regards Uwe ---

It’s using info-beamer hosted. > [@cavem](#): > > I got 9 screens very cheap (8€ per screen) old dell monitor. All are still working pretty good. Don’t forget that power most likely isn’t free and if those screens consume ~20W, which I guess isn’t far off, it easily costs 100€/year unless you only run it from time to time. You can run everything with to private version of info-beamer pi, but then you’ll have to manually create all the configuration files and set up each Raspbian. The complete source code for the magic video wall is here: [GitHub - info-beamer/package-magic-video-wall: A video wall that configures itself by just taking a picture of your screens](https://github.com/info-beamer/package-magic-video-wall)
