What Size Hologram Fan Do I Need? A Complete Buyer's Guide

Choosing the right hologram fan size is one of the most important decisions when investing in a 3D holographic display. The right display size ensures your content is clearly visible, creates maximum impact, and suits the environment where it will be installed.

At Holofex, we're often asked:

"What size hologram fan should I buy?"

The answer depends on three key factors:

Where the display will be installed
How far away your audience will be
The size of the holographic content you want to display

This guide will help you choose the ideal holographic fan for your business.

Why Does Size Matter?

A hologram fan creates the illusion of a floating 3D image, but the size of that image directly affects how visible it is.

A display that's too small may be difficult to see from a distance, while an oversized display may be unnecessary for a small space.

Selecting the right size ensures your holograms are eye-catching without taking up more room than needed.

Small Hologram Fans

Small hologram fans are ideal when viewers are standing close to the display.

They're commonly used for:

Reception desks
Countertops
Product displays
Waiting rooms
Retail point-of-sale areas
Display cabinets

These compact displays are perfect for showcasing smaller products, company logos or promotional messages where space is limited.

Best for:

✔ Reception areas

✔ Counter displays

✔ Small retail spaces

✔ Product demonstrations

Medium Hologram Fans

Medium-sized displays offer an excellent balance between visibility and portability.

They're a popular choice for:

Retail stores
Shop windows
Cafés
Restaurants
Small exhibitions
Business foyers

They create larger holograms that can easily attract customers walking past while remaining simple to transport and install.

Large Hologram Fans

Large displays deliver serious visual impact.

They're designed for locations where people are viewing the display from several metres away, including:

Shopping centres
Car dealerships
Large retail stores
Corporate showrooms
Exhibition halls
Museums
Visitor centres

The larger display area allows products and animations to appear much more dramatic, making them ideal for advertising and branding.

Multi-Fan Systems

When a single display isn't enough, multi-fan systems allow several hologram fans to work together as one enormous display.

These systems are perfect for:

Trade shows
Stage productions
Product launches
Corporate events
Shopping centres
Stadiums
Museums
Immersive experiences

Multiple displays synchronise perfectly to create seamless holograms that are impossible to ignore.

Our Most Popular Recommendation

For most businesses, we recommend our 25-inch (65 cm) hologram fan.

Why?

It provides an excellent balance of:

Large, impressive holograms
Easy transportation
Simple installation
Commercial-grade performance
Outstanding visibility in retail and exhibition environments

Whether you're attending trade shows, promoting products in-store or enhancing your showroom, the 65 cm display delivers exceptional results without becoming difficult to move or install.

For many customers, it's the ideal "all-rounder."

How Far Away Will Your Audience Be?

A simple way to choose the right display is to think about viewing distance.

Close viewing (1–2 metres)

Small displays work well on counters and reception desks.

Medium viewing (2–5 metres)

Medium displays provide excellent visibility for retail stores and shop windows.

Long-distance viewing (5 metres or more)

Large displays or multi-fan systems create the greatest visual impact for exhibitions, shopping centres and large commercial spaces.

Every business is different.
