P4.8 Outdoor LED Screen
P4.8 is the value choice for bigger outdoor areas — readable from further back and easier on the budget than finer pitches. Here is what it gives you and a factory-direct quote.
From US$100 — final price depends on your size, pixel pitch and finish. Contact us for an exact quote.
P4.8 is the pitch you choose when the audience stands further back and the budget needs to stretch. It is a popular outdoor and rental pitch for larger viewing areas — concerts, big fan zones, advertising — where the extra distance means you do not need the fine detail (and cost) of P3.9 or P2.5.
This page explains what P4.8 outdoor gives you — resolution, viewing distance, and how it compares to P3.9 — so you can decide which fits. EKINTRY builds P4.8 outdoor screens factory-direct.

What P4.8 means and when to choose it
The “4.8” is the millimetre gap between LEDs, so a P4.8 panel uses fewer LEDs per square metre than P3.9 — which lowers the cost. The trade-off is that it is designed to be viewed from a little further back (about 5 m+). Where your crowd stands well away from the screen, that detail would be wasted anyway, so P4.8 gives the same visible quality for less.
Viewing distance and resolution
P4.8 looks its best from about 5 m and beyond. Its resolution scales with size — see the table below. For closer or more detailed viewing, step to P3.9; for very long-distance advertising, a coarser P6+ is even more economical.
Outdoor build for P4.8
A P4.8 outdoor screen should be weather-resistant and outdoor-rated, at roughly 4,000–6,000 nits for daylight, with a high 3,840 Hz refresh for clean filming. The slightly larger pitch also makes the panels efficient and bright, well suited to big outdoor walls.
Cabinet options: RV Series vs XS Series
P4.8 outdoor panels come in both cabinet series. The RV Series is cost-effective with more internal cabling; the XS Series uses an integrated power box and connector-pin power and signal for a cleaner, more stable, easier-to-maintain build. For rental and frequent transport choose XS; for budget or fixed installs, RV is practical.
| Pixel pitch | P4.8 / P4.81 |
|---|---|
| Best distance | 5 m+ |
| Brightness | ~4,000–6,000 nits outdoor |
| Refresh | 3,840 Hz — clean on camera |
| Best for | Larger outdoor areas, value, rental |
| Screen size | Resolution at P4.8 | Typical audience |
|---|---|---|
| 3m × 2m | ~625 × 417 px | 50–100 people |
| 4m × 2m | ~833 × 417 px | 80–200 people |
| 6m × 3m | ~1250 × 625 px | 200+ people |
| 8m × 4m | ~1667 × 833 px | Large crowds / advertising |
| Pixel pitch | Recommended distance | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| P2.5 | 2.5 m+ | Close viewing, premium detail |
| P3.9 | 4 m+ | Outdoor events, sport, rental — balanced |
| P4.8 | 5 m+ | Larger outdoor viewing areas — value |
| P6 | 6 m+ | Advertising & long-distance viewing |
Real case: P4.8 for a large outdoor screening
| Client type | Outdoor event / screening operator |
|---|---|
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Application | Large outdoor fan zone, crowd spread across an open area |
| Screen size | 6m × 3m |
| Pixel pitch | P4.8 outdoor |
| Viewing distance | Most of the crowd 6–20 m back |
Why this solution worked: With the crowd spread well back across an open area, the finer detail of P3.9 would not have been visible from most positions. P4.8 delivered the same on-screen impact at a lower cost, letting the budget go into a bigger 6m × 3m wall for more reach.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a P4.8 outdoor LED screen best for?
Larger outdoor areas, concerts, big fan zones and advertising viewed from about 5 m or more, where it gives the same visible quality as a finer pitch for less cost.
What viewing distance suits P4.8?
About 5 m and beyond. Closer than that, P3.9 looks sharper; for very long-distance advertising, P6+ is more economical.
Is P4.8 cheaper than P3.9?
Generally yes — P4.8 uses fewer LEDs per square metre, so it costs less. The trade-off is that it suits viewing from a little further back.
P4.8 or P3.9 for my outdoor screen?
Choose P4.8 for larger areas, longer distances or tighter budgets; choose P3.9 for closer, more detailed viewing such as sport up close.
Is P4.8 bright enough for daylight?
Yes — an outdoor P4.8 screen at roughly 4,000–6,000 nits stays vivid in daylight, with a high refresh for clean filming.
