If you’re buying an outdoor LED screen in Dubai, the decision is mostly about three things: pixel pitch (clarity vs distance), brightness (sunlight vs shade), and protection (dust, humidity, and long run-hours). DS Series outdoor modules cover P2.5 to P10, so you can match the screen to where people stand and how far they view from. Quick rule: smaller pitch for closer viewing, larger pitch for longer viewing. DS Series also supports 1920/3840 Hz refresh, 13 to 14-bit grayscale, IP65, and a -20°C to 50°C operating range, which fits typical outdoor signage needs in the UAE.

- Lifespan: ≥100,000 hours
Pixel pitch for outdoor LED screens in Dubai: the simple way to pick
Pixel pitch decides how sharp your screen looks from the audience position.
Think of Dubai sites like this:
- People close to the screen (storefronts, entrances, walkways) need smaller pitch
- People farther away (roadsides, high mounts, large facades) can use larger pitch
DS Series pitch selector (use this for quick planning)
| DS Series Pitch | Best Viewing Distance | Module Resolution | Pixel Density |
| P2.5 | ≥2.5 m | 128×64 | 160,000 dots/m² |
| P3 | ≥3 m | 104×52 | 105,625 dots/m² |
| P4 | ≥4 m | 80×40 | 62,500 dots/m² |
| P5 | ≥5 m | 64×32 | 40,000 dots/m² |
| P6 | ≥7 m | 48×24 | 22,500 dots/m² |
| P8 | ≥8 m | 40×20 | 15,625 dots/m² |
| P10 | ≥10 m | 32×16 | 10,000 dots/m² |
Fast recommendations:
- P2.5 to P4: premium close-view outdoor signage in Dubai (retail, hospitality, street-level)
- P5 to P6: balanced choice for most outdoor brand walls and roadside visibility
- P8 to P10: long-distance viewing, large formats, billboard-style messaging
Brightness in Dubai sunlight: what to check before you choose
Brightness gets talked about a lot because Dubai lighting can be harsh, especially for screens facing direct sun.
DS Series brightness is listed as:
- P2.5 to P5: 4000 to 4500 cd/m²
- P6 to P8: 4500 to 5000 cd/m²
- P10: 5000 to 5500 cd/m²
(As listed in the DS Series outdoor module datasheet.)
How to pick without overthinking:
- Direct sun for long hours: lean toward pitches with higher listed brightness, and plan glare control through content and placement
- Partial shade or angled away from sun: mid-range brightness can still look strong
- Text-heavy content: contrast matters as much as brightness
Will it flicker on camera? Refresh rate matters in Dubai
If your screen is going to be filmed (and in Dubai, most screens are), refresh rate becomes important.
DS Series lists 1920/3840 Hz refresh rate.
For real-world use:
- 3840 Hz is the safer option where phones and cameras will capture the screen often
- It helps reduce visible scan lines and flicker artifacts during recording
(As listed in the DS Series outdoor module datasheet.)
IP65 outdoor protection: what it means for UAE sites
DS Series is specified as IP65 across the range.
In practical terms for Dubai:
- It’s built to handle outdoor dust exposure and water splashes better than indoor modules
- But your final performance depends on the full build: cabinet sealing, drainage, cable entry, and installation workmanship
If your site is coastal, dusty, or high-wind, don’t rely on “IP65” alone. Make sure the whole system is designed and installed for outdoor reality.
DS Series features that improve day to day performance
From the DS Series feature sheet, these are the things buyers usually care about after specs:
- Ultimate image quality: construction-grade LED beads, PWM driver chips, high grayscale and refresh
- High-quality components: pure copper power cords and cables
- Safety and reliability: V0 flame-retardant PCB, components, and casing
- High contrast ratio: matte reflection texture diffuser (feature sheet mentions a contrast improvement claim)
- Outdoor protection: reinforced design, anti-UV external lines, and flat screen body intent
- Customization: OEM/ODM and customized service support
Power and planning: don’t skip this part
For approvals and site readiness, the electrical side needs to be clear early.
DS Series lists:
- Input voltage: 4.5 to 5V
- Max current (by pitch): around 7.0A to 8.7A
- Power per module (cap): up to ≤36.5W (P2.5/P3) and up to ≤45W (P10)
(As listed in the DS Series outdoor module datasheet.)
Simple buying tip: ask for a system-level power plan based on total screen area, not just module numbers.
Maintenance in Dubai: a realistic routine that keeps screens looking premium
Outdoor LED screens in Dubai collect dust. If you want the screen to look sharp every day, plan maintenance like a routine, not an emergency.
A simple schedule that works for most UAE locations:
- Weekly: quick visual check for dust build-up and brightness drop
- Every 2 to 4 weeks: cleaning based on site dust levels
- Quarterly: sealing, cable entry, and ventilation inspection
- Always: keep spare modules ready for fast swap-outs
DS Series outdoor LED screen FAQs
Which DS Series pitch is best for close viewing?
If viewers are around 2.5 to 4 meters, look at P2.5 to P4 based on DS Series best viewing distances.
Which pitch works for roadside and bigger distances?
For 5 meters and beyond, P5 to P10 becomes more practical depending on how far the audience is.
Is DS Series outdoor module IP65 suitable for Dubai?
IP65 is a strong starting point, but outdoor success depends on the full cabinet and installation quality.
Will the DS Series be smooth on video?
DS Series lists 1920/3840 Hz refresh rate, and 3840 Hz is preferred where filming is common.
What operating conditions are listed?
-20°C to 50°C and 10% to 90% RH, as per the datasheet.
