The parameters of P6 LED displays (pixel pitch approximately 6mm) vary depending on whether they are for indoor or outdoor use and the manufacturer's specifications, but there are common "typical ranges" in the industry. Below is a practical reference table + explanation.
I. Common Core Parameter Ranges (P6)
1️⃣ Brightness
Indoor P6
Typical: 800 – 1,200 cd/m²
High-brightness option: ≤ 1,500 cd/m²
Outdoor P6
Common: 5,000 – 6,500 cd/m²
High-end: Up to approximately 7,000 cd/m²
Explanation:
Indoor displays that are too bright can be dazzling.
Outdoor displays need to remain clearly visible even in direct sunlight.
2️⃣ Contrast Ratio
Common range: 3,000:1 – 5,000:1
High-end black LED solution: Can reach over 6,000:1
Contrast ratio is mainly affected by: LED quality, mask (black/gray), driver IC, etc.
3️⃣ Refresh Rate
Minimum commercial standard: ≥ 1,920 Hz
Mainstream configuration: 3,840 Hz
High-end / Live broadcast / Camera use: ≥ 7,680 Hz
Recommendation:
For photography, live broadcasting, and television broadcasting → definitely choose ≥3840Hz
Otherwise, water ripple patterns and scan lines may appear.
4️⃣ Gray Scale
Common: 14 bit – 16 bit
High-end solution: 18 bit
Higher grayscale results in finer detail in dark areas, especially noticeable when playing at low brightness. 5. Color Temperature
Adjustable range: 3,200K to 9,300K
Factory default: 6,500K (standard white)
6. Viewing Angle
Horizontal: ≥ 140°
Vertical: ≥ 120°
SMD packaging is usually better
7. Power Consumption
Maximum power consumption
Indoor: ≤ 600 W/m²
Outdoor: ≤ 800 W/m²
Average power consumption
Generally 30%–40% of the maximum power consumption
II. Indoor vs. Outdoor P6 Parameter Differences
Brightness:
Indoor P6 generally has a brightness of 800–1500 cd/m², mainly to ensure comfortable viewing for extended periods;
Outdoor P6 needs to be clearly visible in bright light environments, with a brightness typically ranging from 5000–7000 cd/m².
Protection Rating:
Indoor P6 is mostly used in enclosed environments, requiring lower protection levels, commonly around IP30;
Outdoor P6 requires waterproof, dustproof, and weather protection, usually reaching IP65 or IP54.
Refresh Rate:
The basic configuration of indoor P6 is generally ≥1920Hz, meeting ordinary playback needs;
Outdoor P6 is mostly used for advertising and stage performances, with a mainstream configuration of ≥3840Hz to avoid flickering during filming.
Usage Scenarios:
Indoor P6 is commonly used in conference rooms, exhibition halls, shopping malls, command centers, and other close-range viewing locations;
Outdoor P6 is mostly used in outdoor advertising screens, stage backdrops, large public displays, and other long-distance viewing environments.
III. Selection Tips (Very Important)
For photography/live streaming → Refresh rate ≥ 3840Hz
For bright outdoor environments → Brightness ≥ 5500 cd/m²
For close-range viewing → Pay attention to grayscale and contrast
For limited budgets → P6 offers high cost-effectiveness, suitable for viewing distances of ≥6–8 meters
