Are you planning to install an LED screen in a sports stadium? This technical guide will help you make the right decision.
Why are Latin American stadiums adopting large-format LED screens?
Modern stadiums in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and Chile are replacing traditional scoreboards with large-format LED screens. The reasons are clear: greater visibility, dynamic real-time content, and new revenue streams from digital advertising.
Key technical parameters for stadiums
Recommended Pixel Pitch
For stadiums with viewing distances over 50 meters, the most used pitches are:
- P5 — ideal for medium-sized stadiums, excellent value for money
- P6.67 — the most popular in professional-level sports installations
- P8 / P10 — for perimeter screens or long-distance scoreboards
Brightness
Outdoor installations require a minimum of 5,500 nits to ensure visibility under direct sunlight. Our stadium screens reach up to 7,000 nits.
IP65 Protection
Essential for outdoors. IP65 certification guarantees dust and water resistance, crucial in tropical climates like Brazil or Colombia.
Rear Maintenance
For permanent stadium installations, rear maintenance access significantly reduces intervention times and long-term operating costs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which pixel pitch is most recommended for a professional football stadium?
For professional football stadiums with viewing distances of 50 to 150 meters, P6.67 is the most used pitch worldwide, offering the best balance between resolution and cost per square meter. For smaller stadiums or scoreboard screens located closer to the public (30–50m), P5 offers greater sharpness. For long-distance perimeter screens, P8 or P10 is sufficient and more economical.
What is the minimum brightness required for an outdoor LED screen in a stadium?
To ensure full visibility under direct sunlight in daytime conditions, the minimum recommended brightness is 5,500 nits. Dotcom LED stadium screens reach up to 7,000 nits, ensuring a clear image even in west-facing stadiums in the afternoon, where the sun shines directly on the screen. In tropical climates in Brazil, Colombia, or Mexico, this level of brightness is especially important.
Is IP65 certification necessary for LED screens in stadiums?
Yes. IP65 certification is essential for any permanent outdoor installation in stadiums. It guarantees complete protection against dust and resistance to water jets from any direction, which is crucial in the humid and rainy climates of Latin America, especially in Brazil, Colombia, and the Caribbean. Without IP65, the lifespan of the screen is significantly reduced in high humidity environments.
What screen size is appropriate for a stadium with a capacity of 10,000 to 30,000 spectators?
For a stadium of 10,000–30,000 spectators, scoreboard screens typically range between 20 and 60 square meters, with typical dimensions of 8×6m to 12×7m. For perimeter screens, the total length depends on the field's perimeter. Dotcom LED designs custom configurations according to the specific dimensions of the stadium — contact us with project plans or measurements to receive a detailed technical proposal.
Does Dotcom LED export to Latin America with import documentation?
Yes. Dotcom LED has experience exporting to Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Peru and other Latin American countries, with complete export documentation (commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, sea BL or air waybill). We also export to Russia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Australia and other global markets. Our team provides advice on import procedures at the client's request.
