Outdoor SMD Screens
Indoor SMD Screens
Flexible SMD Screens
A P4 outdoor SMD screen has its LEDs 4 mm apart. That spacing decides how close people can stand, how big the screen must be for a given resolution, and what it costs. A good choice for pedestrian-facing outdoor screens.
P4 outdoor specifications
| Specification | P4 outdoor |
|---|---|
| Pixel pitch | 4 mm (sold as P4) |
| Pixel density | about 62,500 pixels per m² |
| Pixels per metre | about 250 across and down |
| Common module size | 320 × 160 mm = 80 × 40 pixels |
| Closest comfortable viewing | about 4 m |
| Best viewing distance | about 8–12 m |
| Size of a full-HD (1920×1080) screen | about 7.68 m × 4.32 m |
| Size of a 4K (3840×2160) screen | about 15.36 m × 8.64 m |
| Typical brightness | about 4,000–6,500 nits (depends on model) |
| Weather protection | IP65 front on outdoor models (dust-tight, protected against water jets) |
Figures are calculated from the pitch; brightness, refresh rate and cabinet size depend on the exact model and brand. We confirm the full datasheet with every quote.
Where a P4 outdoor screen works best
- shop fronts and plaza entrances
- petrol-pump canopies (outside hazard zones)
- school and hospital gates
- outdoor event screens
Outdoor modules are sealed and much brighter so they stay readable in direct sun when the brightness suits the site. See IP65 vs IP68 and how bright an outdoor screen must be.
Is P4 the right pitch for you?
- If most viewers will be closer than about 4 m, a finer pitch such as P3 outdoor looks smoother.
- If nobody comes closer than about 5 m, P5 outdoor gives the same picture from there and costs less per square metre.
- Measure the distance from the screen to the closest viewer, and the width of wall you have. Our pixel pitch guide explains the rule.
Prices and quotes
Price depends on screen size, brand, cabinet type, controller and installation, so we quote per project rather than per module. Our outdoor price guide explains what changes the cost. Send us the wall size and viewing distance to ask for a free quote, or call 0306-1333384.
Frequently asked questions
How close can people stand to a P4 screen?
About 4 m is the closest comfortable distance; from 8–12 m the picture looks completely smooth.
How big is a full-HD P4 screen?
To show 1920×1080 pixels natively, a P4 screen is about 7.7 m wide and 4.3 m high. Smaller screens still play HD video; the controller scales it.
Can P4 be used indoors?
It can, but outdoor modules are much brighter than needed indoors and cost more; for an indoor wall an indoor model of a similar pitch is better value.
