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.
