P8 SMD Screen — large-format outdoor pitch for motorway billboards.
P8 is the large-format outdoor pitch — motorway billboards, super-large façades, and big-format outdoor advertising where viewers are 12–35 m away and the wall is read at speed.
P8 is an outdoor LED screen with 8 mm between pixels — about 15,600 pixels per square metre. It is the standard motorway-billboard pitch in Pakistan, used for super-large outdoor walls where viewers are 12–35 m away and content is read at speed. P8 typically ships at 7,500–10,000 nits and costs noticeably less per square foot than P5 / P6 — making large highway and motorway builds economically viable.

Where P8 earns its place.
Pixel pitch is set by the closest viewer. Roughly 10× the pitch in millimetres gives the minimum comfortable distance — P8 sits in this zone.
- Minimum
12 m
Closer than this and pixel structure becomes obvious.
- Sweet spot
18 m
Where P8 delivers the best clarity-to-cost ratio.
- Maximum
35 m
Beyond this, finer pixel density goes to waste.
Outdoor only.
P8 cabinets are weather-rated outdoor units — IP65 front, IP54 rear. Engineered for monsoon, dust, and direct sunlight; not designed for indoor air-conditioned environments where the higher brightness becomes uncomfortable.
PKR 18,000 – 35,000
Per square foot, supply only — before structure, controller, installation, and calibration.

Where P8 earns its keep.
Motorway billboards
High-speed motorway billboards on M-1, M-2, M-3, and other arterial routes — content read in 2–3 second eye-cuts at 80–120 km/h.
Highway intersections
Large billboards at major intersections where vehicles slow to traffic-light pace — wider variety of content possible.
Super-large façades
Multi-storey façade builds on big-box retail, mall exteriors, and corporate towers viewed from 15 m+.
Industrial estate gateways
Industrial-park entrance signage and corporate-gateway brand walls.
Stadium-scale outdoor screens
Stadium-exterior big-format screens for live game-day content and outdoor scoreboards.
Airport perimeters
Airport-perimeter brand and information signage along approach roads.
What P8 does well.
- Lowest per-square-foot cost of any pitch suitable for viewing at 15 m+.
- Very high brightness ceiling — copes with direct, unshaded summer daylight.
- Cabinet construction is rugged — engineered for highway and motorway environments.
- Wide tier-1 stock for billboard-spec cabinets with reliable thermal performance.
- Long-distance readability of large fonts and brand marks is excellent.
Honest trade-offs.
- Pixel structure visible inside 12 m — close-range pedestrian viewing will see obvious LED dots.
- Low refresh rate in budget cabinets — confirm 3,840 Hz if anything broadcast-grade will frame the wall.
- Detail and small-font readability are weak — content must be designed for highway-distance viewing.
- Cabinet weight is significant — structural review and engineered fixings are mandatory.
P8 sits between P6 (more detail, smaller walls) and P10 (less detail, even bigger walls). Choose P8 for motorway billboards and very large façades read at speed. Choose P6 over P8 when viewing starts at 10 m or content includes finer detail. Choose P10 over P8 when the wall is bigger than 100 sqm and minimum viewing distance is 18 m+.

P8 questions, answered straight.
- Yes. P8 is the standard pitch for motorway and high-speed-arterial billboards. Vehicles pass at 80–120 km/h, eye-cuts last 2–3 seconds, and viewers read the wall from 15–35 m. At that distance and dwell time, P8 delivers the right balance of detail, brightness, and per-square-foot cost.
