Your Divoom Pixoo-64 looks great on a desk, but it looks even better on a wall — freed from surface clutter, mounted at eye level, glowing with pixel art that turns your room into a gallery. The concern that stops most people is simple: will it damage the wall? The answer is no, not if you choose the right method. This guide walks through two mounting approaches — damage-free 3M Command Strips for renters and temporary setups, and screw-and-anchor mounting for permanent installations — plus cable management, wall surface considerations, and viewing angle tips that work for both the Pixoo-64 and Pixoo Max.
The official Divoom setup tutorial covers initial configuration, app pairing, and physical placement.
What You Need Before You Start
Before picking up a tool, gather everything you need. The exact supplies depend on which mounting method you choose, but here is the full checklist so you can decide based on what you already have at home.
For Command Strip mounting (damage-free): 3M Command Strips (Medium or Large, 4-6 pieces), rubbing alcohol, a microfiber cloth, and a small level. That is it — no drill, no screws, no wall repair.
For screw and anchor mounting (permanent): A power drill with a 6mm bit, 2-4 drywall anchors (rated 4-10kg), corresponding screws, a pencil, a level, and a spackle kit for future removal. For brick or concrete, swap the bit for a masonry drill bit and use masonry anchors.
For both methods: Your display's USB-C cable and power adapter, plus a cable management solution (adhesive raceway, cord cover, or cable clips) to hide the power cord running to an outlet.
Method 1 — Damage-Free Command Strip Mounting
This is the method most Pixoo-64 owners should start with. The display weighs approximately 400g — well within the capacity of 3M Command Strips, which are rated for 1.1-1.8kg per pair depending on size. You get a secure wall mount that removes cleanly when you move out, repaint, or just want to reposition.
Step 1 — Clean the wall. Wipe the mounting area with rubbing alcohol on a microfiber cloth. This removes dust, oils, and residue that weaken adhesive. Let the surface dry completely. Skip this step and the strips will not hold.
Step 2 — Apply strips to the display. Attach 4-6 Command Strips to the rear of the Pixoo-64, distributing them across the top, bottom, and sides. Press each strip firmly for 30 seconds to activate the adhesive bond. The display's flat rear panel makes this straightforward.
Step 3 — Position and press. Hold the display against the wall at your chosen height. Use a level to confirm it is straight. Press the display firmly against the wall for 30 seconds, applying even pressure across all strips.
Step 4 — Wait one hour. This is the hardest part. The adhesive needs time to reach full strength. Do not hang the display and immediately load it with the cable weight. Wait at least one hour before connecting the USB-C power cable.
Step 5 — To remove later, pull straight down. When you want to take the display down, grab the release tab at the bottom of each strip and pull it straight down — slowly, parallel to the wall. The tab stretches the adhesive until it releases without tearing paint. Never pull the display toward you; that is how paint damage happens.
Method 2 — Screw and Wall Anchor Mounting
For the Pixoo Max, which is larger and heavier, or for any permanent installation where you want maximum security, screw mounting is the better choice. It takes 15 minutes and leaves small holes that are easy to patch with spackle if you ever remove the display.
Step 1 — Mark the position. Hold the display against the wall at your chosen height. Use a level to confirm it is straight, then mark the screw positions through the rear mounting points with a pencil. Measure twice — the USB-C cable needs to reach a power source from this position.
Step 2 — Drill pilot holes. Using a 6mm drill bit, drill pilot holes at each pencil mark. If you hit a wall stud, you can drive the screw directly into the wood without an anchor. If you are drilling into drywall (the most common case), the pilot hole is where the anchor goes.
Step 3 — Insert wall anchors. Push a drywall anchor into each pilot hole. Tap gently with a hammer until the anchor sits flush with the wall surface. The anchor expands behind the drywall to distribute the display's weight across a wider area.
Step 4 — Drive the screws. Screw into each anchor, leaving approximately 5mm of the screw protruding from the wall. This exposed length hooks into the display's rear mounting slot. Check with a level one more time before hanging.
Step 5 — Hang and secure. Align the display's rear slot with the protruding screws and lower it into place. Give it a gentle downward tug to confirm it is seated. Connect the USB-C cable and route it to your power source.
Cable Management and Power Routing
Every Divoom pixel display needs continuous USB-C power, which means a cable runs from the display to an outlet or USB hub. On a wall mount, that cable is visible — unless you hide it. Here are three approaches, from simplest to cleanest.
Adhesive cable raceway: A plastic channel that sticks to the wall along the path from your display to the nearest outlet. The USB-C cable tucks inside, and the raceway can be painted to match your wall color. This is the fastest solution and works for rentals.
Cord cover strip: A wider, flatter cover that hides both the cable and the power adapter. It looks more deliberate than bare cable clips and comes in paintable white. Route it straight down from the display to the baseboard, then along the baseboard to your outlet.
In-wall routing: For owned homes (not rentals), install a low-voltage wall plate kit: cut two holes in the drywall — one behind the display and one near the outlet — feed the cable through the wall cavity, and cap both openings with a clean wall plate. The cable disappears entirely. This takes 30 minutes but delivers the most professional result.
For all three methods, measure the cable path before cutting or sticking anything. The USB-C cable included with the Pixoo-64 is approximately 1.5m long — if your outlet is farther away, you will need a longer USB-C cable or a USB extension.
Wall Surface Considerations
Not all walls are the same. The surface material determines which mounting method works and which will fail or cause damage.
Painted drywall is the most common wall type and works with both Command Strips and screw anchors. If the paint is fresh, wait at least 7 days before applying Command Strips — fresh paint outgasses solvents that weaken adhesive. For screws, standard drywall anchors rated 4-10kg are sufficient for both displays.
Brick and concrete require screws with masonry anchors. Command Strips will not adhere to these surfaces. Use a hammer drill with a masonry bit, insert plastic wall plugs, and drive masonry screws. The result is extremely secure but permanent.
Textured walls (orange peel, knockdown, or popcorn) reduce the contact area for Command Strips, making them unreliable. For these surfaces, use the screw-and-anchor method. If you must use adhesive, test a single strip for 24 hours before committing the full display.
Wallpaper is the trickiest surface. Command Strips may bond to the wallpaper but tear it on removal. If you value the wallpaper, use screws and place them discreetly. If the wallpaper is temporary or you plan to replace it, Command Strips are an option — but test a hidden area first.
Wood paneling is the easiest surface for both methods. Command Strips adhere well to smooth finished wood, and wood screws drive directly without anchors. Just avoid screwing into the paneling joints.
Height and Viewing Angle Tips
Mount your display at seated eye level — approximately 1.4 to 1.7 meters from the floor. This is the height where pixel art reads best without craning your neck.
Maintain a viewing distance of 1 to 2 meters. At this range, the 64x64 LED grid of the Pixoo-64 resolves into recognizable art rather than visible individual pixels.
Avoid direct sunlight on the panel. LED displays wash out in bright light and run warmer when sunlit. Choose a wall that faces away from windows, or install a blind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Command Strips really hold a pixel display?
Yes. The Pixoo-64 weighs approximately 400g, which is well within the 1.1-1.8kg capacity of 3M Command Strips. Use 4-6 strips distributed across the rear panel, clean the wall surface with rubbing alcohol first, and wait one hour before connecting the power cable. The display will stay mounted securely and remove without paint damage.
Will wall mounting damage my rental property?
If you use Command Strips on painted drywall, there is no damage — the strips release cleanly by pulling the tab straight down. If you use screws, the holes are small (6mm) and easy to fill with spackle and touch-up paint. Avoid Command Strips on wallpaper, as removal may tear the paper. For full setup and support details, see the Divoom product manual.
How do I hide the USB-C cable on the wall?
Three options: an adhesive cable raceway (paintable, sticks to the wall), a cord cover strip that hides the cable and adapter together, or in-wall routing using a low-voltage wall plate kit (for owned homes only). For all methods, measure the cable path first — the included USB-C cable is approximately 1.5m long.
Can I mount my display on brick or concrete?
Yes, but Command Strips will not work on these surfaces. Use a hammer drill with a masonry bit, insert plastic wall plugs, and drive masonry screws. The installation is permanent but extremely secure. For wood paneling, both Command Strips and wood screws work well.
