The thickness of LED screen panels varies by type: indoor panels are typically 30mm to 50mm, outdoor panels range from 60mm to 120mm, and ultra-slim panels can be as thin as 20mm.
Indoor LED Panels
Outdoor LED panels are normally from 60mm to 120mm thick. For example, an 80mm-thick P6 outdoor LED panel weighs about 40kg per square meter. This solid build makes them resistant to wind loads of up to 100 km/h and temperatures ranging from -20°C to 50°C, hence making them suitable for most climates and any extreme weather.
One of the standout features of outdoor LED panels is their brightness levels, which often exceed 5,000 nits to remain visible under direct sunlight. High-performance models can even achieve up to 10,000 nits. According to a study done by one of the leading digital signage companies, it was discovered that an LED billboard with brightness over 6,000 nits generates a 35% higher engagement compared to its dimmer siblings. These also carry an IP65 waterproof rating, protecting it from rain, dust, and humidity-a must-have for regions receiving over 1,000mm rainfall annually.
Thus, an average of 300W is consumed in an outdoor panel at P10. Newer, energy-saving models shave up to 20% off that figure without sacrificing performance. Assuming that the average electrically use cost $0.15 cents per kwh, a company operating a 100-square-meter billboard would save approximately $15,000 on electricity costs over the period of five years.
Prices for simple P10 models of outdoor LED panels start at about $500 per square meter, while ultra-high-resolution P3 models for more premium applications have upwards of $2,500 per square meter, usually in large displays that range from $5,000 to $20,000.
A single module, measuring about 320mm x 160mm, can be replaced within less than 10 minutes to minimize downtime. Modern panels come equipped with remote monitoring systems that alert operators of potential problems, including overheating or power fluctuations. This proactive approach decreases maintenance costs by 25%.
Outdoor LED Panels
In general, ultra-slim LED panels measure from 20-35mm in depth, which is about 0.8 to 1.4 inches. A popular P2.5 ultra-slim panel is often just 25mm thick and weighs less than 10kg per square meter.
P1.5 ultra-slim LED screens installed in a high-end retail store-to-date market analysis will showcase the product visuality in a lively way, hence creating a visual effect that increases dwell times by customers by 40%.
