P6 Outdoor LED Display: P6.25 vs P6.67 Buying Guide

P6, P6.25 or P6.67: which specification do you need?

For an outdoor advertising LED screen, pixel pitch affects how much detail fits into a given area. Cabinet size determines how the screen fits the building or supporting structure. These are separate decisions: a larger cabinet does not automatically mean a coarser image.

• Consider Square 1000 P6.25 when a one-metre cabinet grid fits the project and you want more pixels per square metre than P6.67.
• Consider Square 960 P6.67 when the 960 mm cabinet grid fits the opening or layout. Check its cabinet weight and dimensions against the project’s handling and structural requirements.
• If a tender requires P6.00, or you are replacing existing modules, verify the exact pitch, module dimensions, pixel matrix, electrical connections and control compatibility before ordering. Similar pitch names do not establish interchangeability.

Square 960 P6.67 vs Square 1000 P6.25

Square 960 P6.67

960 × 960 mm cabinets with 144 × 144 pixels. A 6 × 3 cabinet grid measures 5.76 × 2.88 m.

Square 1000 P6.25

1000 × 1000 mm cabinets with 160 × 160 pixels. A 6 × 3 cabinet grid measures 6 × 3 m.

What size and resolution will your outdoor LED screen have?

Use the cabinet grid to calculate physical dimensions, and the cabinet pixel matrix to calculate resolution. For Square 960 P6.67, use 144 pixels per cabinet edge rather than dividing the screen size by the rounded 6.67 mm pitch.

This comparison uses the same cabinet count, not the same screen area. Weight excludes the supporting structure, mounting hardware, cables and other equipment. It is not a structural load calculation.

A 6 × 3 grid of standard Square 960 cabinets does not produce an exact 6 × 3 m screen. If your architectural opening is 6 × 3 m, share its clear dimensions and required mounting clearances before selecting either layout. Any alternative cabinet arrangement or custom dimensions need project-specific confirmation.

Both example screens have a 2:1 aspect ratio. A 16:9 video needs a deliberate crop, letterbox or redesigned layout. Neither example has a native 1920 × 1080 pixel matrix; a controller accepting a Full HD input does not turn the screen into a native Full HD display.

Before choosing pitch, mock up the smallest text, logos and graphics at the proposed native resolution. Review them from the nearest important viewing position, including oblique angles. Viewing distance alone cannot guarantee readability: content size, contrast and the time people have to read the message also matter.

Plan the cabinet structure, service access and site

Modular construction and service clearance

Both series use an aluminium profile frame, LED modules and a separate central power/control assembly. The module formats differ: 480 × 320 mm for Square 960 and 500 × 250 mm for Square 1000. Confirm access to the modules, power supplies, receiving cards and connections before fixing the support design.

Both configurations offer front and rear service. A wall installation needs enough clearance for the chosen removal path, cables and ventilation. A pole or freestanding installation also needs a practical means of reaching the service face.

Daylight, weather and power

Both listed configurations specify 6500 nits and IP65 front and rear. Select brightness adjustment and any sensor equipment for the site’s orientation, content and daytime/night-time operation. Include ambient temperature, rain exposure and coastal conditions in the brief; the cabinet rating does not define the weather protection of every external connection.

Engineering drawings for your installation

DOIT VISION provides outdoor project product drawings, steel-structure design CAD, wiring diagrams and installation instructions free of charge. Send the screen dimensions, mounting height, site photos, existing support drawings, power-feed location and maintenance access so the drawings can address the actual installation.

The project quotation defines the physical steelwork, upstream power distribution and local installation scope. The local project team confirms site loads and approval requirements. Cables, connection plates, mounting parts and fasteners are specified in the order’s supply list.

P6 outdoor LED display price: what should a quotation include?

A P6 outdoor LED display price depends on the exact configuration and supply scope. Compare itemised quotations using the same screen dimensions, cabinet layout, brightness, refresh rate and delivery destination.

1. Screen: model and exact pitch, cabinet count, active dimensions, native resolution and agreed performance configuration.
2. Control and signal: processor, receiving system, signal cables and any brightness-control equipment, selected for the inputs and pixel load.
3. Installation package: project drawings, cable schedule, connection plates, mounting parts and fasteners; list the lengths, quantities and supplied items. Define physical steelwork and local installation separately.
4. Service and documentation: spare parts list, maintenance arrangement and warranty terms. Both Square series carry CE, EMC, RoHS and CB certification and have a two-year product warranty; request the documents for the selected configuration.
5. Delivery: packing, destination, shipping terms, applicable taxes or duties, quotation validity and confirmed schedule.

When comparing P6 outdoor LED displays for sale, separate the equipment price from the installed-project budget. State who supplies the steelwork, power distribution, lifting equipment and installation labour so comparable offers cover the same work.

Estimate power and monthly energy for the two layouts

The listed average/maximum values are 170/590 W/m² for Square 960 P6.67 and 240/720 W/m² for Square 1000 P6.25. Use average power for an indicative operating budget and maximum rated power as one input to electrical design.

Scroll to compare columns.

Monthly screen energy (kWh) = average screen power (W/m²) ÷ 1000 × screen area (m²) × hours per day × days per month.

For the Square 960 layout: 170 ÷ 1000 × 16.5888 × 12 × 30 = 1,015.23 kWh, rounded to 1,015 kWh. Multiply by your local tariff per kWh for the screen’s estimated energy charge.

These are calculations from listed specifications, not readings from a tested installation. No particular playback content or brightness schedule is assumed to reproduce the listed average. Actual use changes with content, brightness and operating settings. Add controllers, ventilation and other auxiliary loads, plus any other utility charges. The two layouts have different areas; this is not an efficiency or common-cathode savings test.
