P8 outdoor LED display in Bengaluru.

PixelSpot builds P8 outdoor LED displays, the LED hoarding boards, parapet boards and large LED screens read from the road, at its factory in Jalahalli, Bengaluru, and installs them with its own crew across Bengaluru and Karnataka; the LED video wall in Karnataka page explains how a highway or district job is quoted. P8 carries no list price: a board this size is priced after a site survey, because the structure, the road and the mounting decide the figure as much as the screen does. Every P8 board is up to 4,500 nits, IP65 at the front and IP54 at the rear, and comfortable from 8 m.

A P8 LED wall is priced for your site: PixelSpot quotes P8 on request from its factory in Bengaluru (Bangalore), because a hoarding is sized to its structure and its road. Get a figure, excl. GST, from the configurator or on WhatsApp. The P8 we build is an outdoor module: IP65 at the front, IP54 at the rear, up to 4,500 nits with auto-dimming, on a 320 x 160 mm board carrying 40 x 20 pixels. It is a hoarding and roadside-board pitch, read from 8 m and beyond, and it gives noticeably more pixels than P10 on the same board. If your board will be read from a pavement rather than a road, the outdoor P4 or P6 pages are the ones to read instead.

P8 outdoor LED display sizes and resolution

The 16 x 9 and 20 x 10 ft rows are closer to the boards P8 is usually chosen for; at those sizes a P8 board has room for a logo, a headline and a phone number read from across the road. Every size is priced after the free site survey, + GST, because the structure and power run differ from site to site.

A P8 quotation includes the LED modules, receiving cards, the controller, power supplies, the steel frame, cabling, installation by PixelSpot's own crew, the PxlOS cloud CMS, 5 per cent spare modules and the 2-year pixel-to-pixel onsite warranty. GST at 18 per cent is added on top, and a registered business can take the input credit; the HSN code and GST page explains how the invoice is structured.

The simplest P8 quote is a plain wall-mounted or fascia board with a Huidu controller. The quote rises when the board needs front-service die-cast cabinets (a fascia flush against a building with no rear access, or a board on a parapet where nobody can get behind it), a NovaStar-based sending and receiving system, or a curved or ceiling-hung frame. For a west-facing site in full afternoon sun, the survey checks the angle and shading. A freestanding pole, gantry or rooftop structure is quoted as a separate line after the free site survey, as are municipal permission drawings where the site needs them, so that the board itself stays comparable with any other quotation you hold.

P8 LED display and LED screen price

A P8 LED display, a P8 LED screen and a P8 LED wall are three names for the same product: outdoor P8 modules, 8 mm between LED centres, built into one screen. The price does not change with the name. P8 is priced on request for your site, + GST, so a P8 LED display or LED screen is quoted the same way as a wall: from the size, the structure and the mounting. The configurator gives a figure for your size, and the LED wall price in Bangalore page lists the pitches that carry a per-sq-ft rate.

P8 outdoor LED display specification

Two lines on that sheet tell you whether a "P8" quotation from anyone is the same product as ours. The first is the module: 40 x 20 pixels on a 320 x 160 mm board, which is 800 LEDs per module. The same board carries 32 x 16 pixels at P10, 64 x 32 at P5 and 80 x 40 at P4, so the module resolution settles the pitch and cannot be rounded in the seller's favour. The second is the scan rate: 1/5 on P8 means each LED is driven for a longer slice of every cycle than the 1/8 of P6 or the 1/10 of P4, which is part of how a coarse hoarding module holds up to 4,500 nits in Bengaluru's afternoon sun without the drivers running hot. Refresh is the third thing to ask for: outdoor boards are sold at 1,920 Hz and at 3,840 Hz, and only the latter films cleanly when a passer-by points a phone at it, which for a hoarding is the whole point of the content.

Resolution on a P8 board comes straight from the width: the wall's width in millimetres divided by 8 gives the pixels across, rounded down to whole modules and cabinets. A 12x8 ft board is 457 x 304 pixels; an 8x4 ft board is about 304 x 152. Those are small numbers next to an indoor wall, and that is the point of the pitch. Nobody stands 3 m from a hoarding, so the LEDs that an indoor P2.5 would spend on fine detail are simply not needed, and the money goes into brightness, weather sealing and size instead. The size calculator will give the pixel count for any width you enter.

P8 LED module vs a complete P8 LED wall

A P8 module is a 320 x 160 mm board of 40 x 20 pixels, and a hoarding is hundreds of them. PixelSpot does not sell those modules loose for someone else to assemble. We supply the complete P8 board, installed: outdoor cabinets, the frame or structure, power supplies, receiving cards, the controller, cabling, PxlOS and the 2-year pixel-to-pixel onsite warranty, put up by our own crew after the survey. On a roadside board the structure, the wind loading and the mains run matter more than the module price, and they are exactly what a loose-module purchase leaves out. Spare modules are handed over with every board we build, so a damaged one is changed on site.

P8 outdoor LED screen in Bangalore: where it fits

P8 fits where nobody stands close: a large roadside hoarding, a parapet board above a shop line, a building facade seen from the flyover opposite, a highway approach board. The nearest regular viewer should be 8 m away or more, and the board large, usually well beyond 12 x 8 ft. Our LED hoarding page covers the structures and permissions. Because the board, its frame and its power run are designed for the site, the quotation follows the free survey: we measure from the kerb, check the structure and the mains, and then price it. If some viewers are within 8 m, a P6 at ₹5,000 per sq ft + GST draws a cleaner picture.

The rule is the one used across the site: the minimum comfortable viewing distance in metres is about the pitch number, and the picture looks best from roughly twice that. For P8 that is 8 m minimum and about 16 m ideal. Measure from where the nearest regular viewer stands, which for a roadside board is the kerb on the far side of the carriageway or the driver's seat in a slowing car, not the pavement directly under the structure. The viewing distance calculator does the arithmetic if you enter the distance. Typical Bengaluru and Karnataka cases where P8 is the right answer:

• Roadside hoarding on Outer Ring Road, Hosur Road or Tumakuru Road. Read from the carriageway at 8 m at the nearest lane and well beyond 16 m at the far lanes, in direct sun for most of the day. A 12x8 ft P8 board, 457 x 304 pixels, carries a brand, a line of text and a price at that range; the LED hoarding page covers the larger structures we build for the same job.
• Building-top or parapet board on a commercial complex in Marathahalli, Hebbal or Yeshwanthpur. The board sits above a shop line and is read from across a four-lane road and from the flyover, so the nearest viewer is 8 m away at the very least and most are much further. P8 fills a large parapet board without paying for pixels nobody on the road can resolve, while up to 4,500 nits holds against the sky behind it.
• Petrol pump and highway-approach board on the NH-44 or NH-48 side of Bengaluru, and on the Hosur and Krishnagiri approaches. Drivers read the offer or the price while slowing from the approach lane, 8 to 16 m out; a 10x6 ft P8 shows two or three lines of large text and a logo cleanly at that distance.
• Industrial estate and wholesale-market entrance board in Peenya, Jalahalli, Bommasandra or Jigani. Lorry drivers and visitors read the gate board from the approach road; P8 is bright enough for an unshaded gate, and at 457 x 304 pixels a 12x8 ft board shows a name, a gate number and a logo without spending on detail the approach road cannot see.
• Fair-ground, exhibition-ground and temple-festival announcement board at a large open venue such as Palace Grounds or a district ground in Mysuru, Hubballi or Tumakuru, where the crowd stands 10 m and further back. The schedule and sponsor loop is large text and logos, which is exactly what P8 renders well.
• College, stadium or bus-stand information board read from a car park or a forecourt in Yelahanka, Electronic City or Majestic. Timings, gate numbers and notices in large type are legible from 8 to 16 m, and the board runs at full brightness through the afternoon without a shade.
• Car dealership or showroom pylon on a service road in Whitefield or Bannerghatta Road, read by traffic on the main road rather than by walk-ins. For the glass-fronted showroom facade itself, where visitors are 4 to 6 m away, the finer P3 or P4 pages apply; the pylon out by the road is the P8 job.

When to step finer or coarser

Step finer to outdoor P6, at about ₹5,000 per sq ft + GST, when the nearest regular viewer is inside 8 m but outside 6 m: a board over a wide forecourt, a market entrance where people gather, or a facade on a broad pavement. Step finer again to outdoor P4, the storefront standard at about ₹5,100 per sq ft + GST, when people read the screen from the pavement at 4 m, and to P3 at 3 m. At the other end of the outdoor range, shopfront menus read from 3 to 5 m are served by outdoor P2.5, as at Acai Theory in Indiranagar, which is the opposite of what a hoarding needs. Step coarser to P10 only when the board is very large and read from 10 m and beyond without exception: P10 is also priced on request, and it gives 365 x 243 pixels on 12x8 ft against P8's 457 x 304. That is why P8 is our default in the hoarding band.

P8 vs P6 and P10

These are the two pitches a P8 enquiry in Bengaluru ends up choosing between: the finer P6 for a board that some viewers approach, and the coarser P10 for a very large board read only from far away.

The reading of that table is that P8 is the hoarding pitch of the outdoor range. Against P6 on a 12x8 ft board the pixels you give up, 609 x 406 down to 457 x 304, are pixels nobody resolves from the far side of a road; P6 is about ₹5,000 per sq ft + GST and P8 is priced for your board, so ask for both on the same quote. Against P10, P8 gives more pixels and a shorter minimum distance, so the only reason to choose P10 over P8 is a board so large and so far from every viewer that the coarser module changes nothing on the eye. If any regular viewer stands inside 8 m, P6 is the right spend.

What a P8 wall from PixelSpot includes

• Outdoor modules and cabinets. IP65 front, IP54 rear, up to 4,500 nits with auto-dimming for the night, assembled and burn-in tested at our Jalahalli East factory before they leave for site.
• Steel frame. A wall-mounted, fascia or parapet frame is included in the quote; freestanding pole, gantry and rooftop structures, curved and ceiling-hung frames are quoted after the free survey, together with any drawings the municipal permission needs.
• Controller. A Huidu system sized to the board's pixel load is the standard. A NovaStar sending card with NovaStar receiving cards costs more per cabinet and is priced on the quote; the controller model is named on every quotation so it can be compared like for like.
• Receiving cards, power supplies and cabling sized for the board, with the mains connection point agreed at the survey. The power consumption guide gives the draw by pitch; the nits guide explains why the survey checks the angle and shading for a west-facing board.
• PxlOS cloud CMS so the board's owner or the agency selling the slots can change the loop from a phone, schedule campaigns by the hour and set the evening dimming. Boards that sell advertising time can also be listed on the DOOH marketplace.
• 5 per cent spare modules handed over with the board, and a module swap from ₹1,800 after the warranty.
• Our own crew. The team that assembles the board installs it; nothing is subcontracted. The installation page describes a typical day on site.
• 2-year pixel-to-pixel onsite warranty and 24-hour service response in Bengaluru; the warranty page lists what it covers. AMC from ₹150 per sq ft per year afterwards, which for a roadside board that runs all day is worth having.
• Karnataka installs. Pricing is the same in every Karnataka district and in Hosur and Krishnagiri; outside Bengaluru the quote adds freight and crew travel as separate lines. See the Karnataka page, and the district pages for Mysuru, Hubballi and Tumakuru.

P8 is built to size for each site rather than sold as a ready-made unit, because a hoarding is sized to its structure and its road. A board that is only an announcement strip rather than a full-colour hoarding is often better served by the LED display board or LED sign board ranges. We don't rent LED walls, so for a board needed for a single event, an event-AV company that rents screens is the right call.

How to get an exact P8 price

1. Measure the structure or fascia the board will sit on and the distance to the nearest regular viewer. If that distance is under 8 m, tell us; the answer may be P6. If every viewer is beyond 10 m and the board is very large, P10 is an option, also priced on request.
2. Use the 60-second LED wall configurator for an instant estimate with GST, spec sheet and BOM, or WhatsApp +91 72048 08334 with the size, a photo of the site from the road and whether the board faces west.
3. Book the free site visit. We confirm the pitch from the kerb, check the structure, the power and the access for the crew, and send a 3D mockup of the board on your actual site with a fixed quotation.

The LED wall price guide covers inclusions in more depth, the price by pixel pitch page lists every indoor and outdoor pitch side by side, the pixel pitch guide explains the rule behind the distances, and the size pages give worked totals for 8x4 ft, 10x6 ft and 12x8 ft boards.
