At 160×288 cm and nearly 4.6 square metres, this P3 outdoor LED message sign is completely sharp from a viewing distance of 2.5–3 metres upwards, which is why we recommend it for larger facades and locations with significant pedestrian traffic. The panel works at over 4,200 cd/m², with automatic brightness control. The 100,000-hour service life means more than 10 years of continuous operation, with inspected LED chips from a single production batch. Our own service backing and modules held in stock guarantee that in the event of a fault we help within days rather than weeks. The price sets out the panel, the support structure, the control system and the installation separately, and because of the larger size the on-site structural survey is free as well.
Outdoor full-colour LED message sign 160×288 cm (P3)
The 160×288 cm P3 panel is one of the largest-surface builds in the dense-pitch category, which means that alongside the ample display area the image stays completely sharp viewed close up. It is a favoured choice of larger retail chains, restaurants and car dealerships, where a detailed, professional appearance matters even in the immediate vicinity of pedestrian traffic. The robust aluminium housing and the IP65 rating guarantee long-term outdoor reliability on a surface this size too. Because of the larger size we take the sizing of the support structure and the power supply particularly seriously – it is one of the most common mistakes seen on the market: an undersized bracket or supply on a panel of this scale.

A large canvas, with fine detail too
The 160×288 cm size provides a substantial display surface of nearly 4.6 square metres, which is ample for presenting complex, multi-element content elegantly: a logo, a strapline, a current offer and even a short animation, together or in rotation. Because the pixel pitch is still the dense P3, this large surface loses nothing in close-range sharpness, so the image stays perfectly clear from as little as 2–3 metres. This combination is particularly recommended for retail chains, restaurants or car dealerships with a substantial facade, where pedestrian traffic meets the display at close quarters and a detailed, premium appearance matters.
Dependable performance on a large surface too
The larger panel gets the same robust, outdoor-designed construction: a powder-coated aluminium housing, an IP65-rated front film, and effective ventilation at the rear that prevents overheating even in prolonged summer heat. The automatic brightness control continuously adapts to the time of day, ensuring that even a large surface is not a distractingly strong light source in the neighbourhood at night. The refresh rate above 2,880 Hz gives a flicker-free image at every size, which matters particularly if you also want to use the large surface for an advertising film or a live broadcast. Wi-Fi control and the mobile app allow the content to be refreshed quickly and remotely, and the timer function automates the daily switching on and off.
Support structure and quality — what many forget to ask about
On a 4.6 square metre outdoor panel the most common mistake on the market is not the quality of the LEDs but an undersized support structure or power supply, which can lead to failure over the long term. Our quote always includes a survey of the load-bearing capacity of the facade and the design of a correctly sized bracket, before the panel is even made. At this size too, the LED chips come from a single production batch and a named manufacturer, batch-matched in colour, so that the large surface lights uniformly and without patches. The 100,000-hour service life, with proper calibration, means 10–12 years of dependable operation.
Running a large surface, with simple handling
Because of the larger surface the total consumption is naturally higher, but the specific figure (W/m²) stays the same as on the smaller siblings: with mixed content it is typically around 250–350 W/m², which the automatic brightness control reduces further at night. Operation through the mobile app is exactly as simple as on a smaller display – if you can write an email, you can handle this. Handover always includes personal training, so that you can refresh the content confidently.
Typical applications
Outdoor full-colour LED message sign 160×288 cm (P3) — frequently asked questions
How much larger is this surface than the 160×224 version?
The height increases by 64 centimetres, which means nearly 30% more display surface, so more complex, multi-element content fits.
Is this size suitable for showing animated content?
Yes. The combination of a large surface and the dense P3 pixel pitch is excellent for showing short animations, video clips or alternating messages.
Does this size require a stronger support structure?
Yes. Because of the weight and size of the larger panel, we always survey the load-bearing capacity of the facade before installation and size the support structure and the power supply accordingly.
How do you ensure the large surface does not go patchy in colour?
Every module is made with LED chips from a single production batch and a named manufacturer, passed through incoming quality control, so the whole surface stays uniform years later.
What is the warranty on a panel this large and valuable?
We provide a full warranty on the electronics and the LEDs alike, which you can extend with the Warranty+ package for a longer period and a faster call-out.
Is there a free site survey for a panel this size too?
Yes – indeed it is expressly advisable at this size: the site survey is free, and this is where surveying the load-bearing capacity of the facade and the power supply precisely really matters.
