What configuration does this 3x2m outdoor LED screen use?
The 3x2m outdoor LED screen is assembled from the standard 500x500mm Metastar platform, the same cabinet format used for stages and events worldwide:
- Cabinets: 24 die-cast aluminum cabinets in a 6×4 layout. Each weighs 7.5kg, so a small crew can assemble the full wall quickly.
- Modules: four 250x250mm P3.9 modules per cabinet (2×2), SMD1921 lamp beads.
- Refresh rate: 3840Hz, so phone cameras and broadcast cameras capture the picture without scan lines.
- Weather protection: IP65-rated outdoor modules rated for outdoor operation.
- Service: modules, power supplies, and control cards can all be swapped from the front – no rear service clearance needed.
How was the outdoor LED screen installed in Nigeria?
The Metastar Series supports hoisting, fixed, and mobile installation. For this project the cabinets were mounted on a steel frame structure and locked together with the quick-lock system. The video below shows the same 3x2m screen going from cabinet assembly to content playback.
The on-site view shows the completed wall on the building structure, ready for advertising and event content.
What does the outdoor LED screen look like when running?
With a 5000:1 contrast ratio and 140°/120° viewing angles, the screen keeps text and video readable in full daylight – the reason P3.9 remains the workhorse pitch for 6m² outdoor screens in this region.
What makes the Metastar Series a good fit for outdoor LED screens?
- 7.5kg die-cast aluminum cabinets that survive repeated assembly and transport without bending.
- Corner protection on every cabinet shields edge lamp beads during shipping and handling.
- Quick-lock splicing with reinforced locks and stable brackets, including optional arc and right-angle layouts.
- Automatic brightness adjustment paired with efficient power supplies to keep daytime output high and night power draw low.
