Detail at close range
At 2.976 mm, the image holds up from roughly 3 metres. Front-row audiences see a picture, not a grid of lamps.

Outdoor LED Wall P2.9 Rental in Athens — Large-Format Screens for Open-Air Events
An outdoor screen isn't competing with the audience. It's competing with the sun, the rain and the wind.
CONEQ Hellas has added an outdoor P2.9 LED wall system built for conditions indoor equipment cannot survive. At a 2.976 mm pixel pitch — a figure that until recently belonged strictly indoors — the screen holds detail at close viewing distance while working under a Greek summer sun, through night humidity, and in venues with no roof to rig from.
In practice, one system now covers the festival in the square, the concert in the open-air theatre, the sports event and the corporate roadshow — without the usual compromise of a coarse "screen for distance" that falls apart for anyone in the front rows.

Why P2.9 Excels in Open-Air Environments
Brightness built for midday
Many times the output of an indoor panel, with automatic adjustment so the same content reads at 2 in the afternoon and doesn't blind anyone at 10 at night.
Weather-rated construction (IP65)
Sealed cabinets, protected connections, and proper earthing to safety standards. The screen stays up and operational when the programme carries on through drizzle.
Ground support (no rigging points needed)
Open ground gives you nothing to hang from. We build on a free-standing, ballasted structure, with the wind-load calculated for that specific site exposure.
Camera-friendly for live relay
A high refresh rate ensures that streaming and archive cameras pick up no scan lines or flicker.
Ideal applications
One outdoor system covers municipal squares, festivals, sports and corporate roadshows — without compromising front-row clarity.
Festivals and open-air concerts
IMAG with live cameras, visuals, and sponsor content between sets.
Sports events
Live results, replays, timing, and finish-line coverage.
Municipal and public events
Commemorations, square screenings, and ceremonies.
Corporate roadshows and brand activations
A touring build repeated with absolute consistency from city to city.
Groundbreakings and openings
Live links, project films, and speaker presentations.
Open-air cinema and summer screenings
An image that doesn't wait for darkness the way a traditional projector does.

Typical layouts (0.5 m cabinet multiples)
Every size is a multiple of 0.5 m because cabinets are 500 mm. 8.0 × 4.5 m is the only layout that lands exactly on 16:9 — useful when the client delivers finished video.
| Size | Cabinets | Resolution | Area | Ratio | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3,0 × 2,0 m | 6 × 4 | 1008 × 672 | 6,0 m² | 3:2 | Openings, small municipal events |
| 4,0 × 2,5 m | 8 × 5 | 1344 × 840 | 10,0 m² | 8:5 | Roadshow, brand activation |
| 5,0 × 3,0 m | 10 × 6 | 1680 × 1008 | 15,0 m² | 5:3 | Open-air concert, public square |
| 6,0 × 3,5 m | 12 × 7 | 2016 × 1176 | 21,0 m² | 12:7 | Festival, sports event |
| 8,0 × 4,5 m | 16 × 9 | 2688 × 1512 | 36,0 m² | 16:9 | Large stage, live relay |
| 10,0 × 6,0 m | 20 × 12 | 3360 × 2016 | 60,0 m² | 5:3 | Large festival |

Wind load: the critical safety factor
A 6 × 3.5 m screen is a solid 21-square-metre sail. In Attica, with the meltemi blowing, that is not an engineering footnote — it is the critical safety item of every open-air build. Before every outdoor project, we deliver:
- Wind-load calculations for the specific dimensions and site exposure.
- Ballast or anchoring sized appropriately to the ground surface.
- A wind-speed limit above which the screen must come down, agreed in writing with the organiser before build day.
- A responsible technician on site monitoring the weather throughout the event.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The outdoor system runs many times brighter than an indoor panel, which is exactly what midday use requires. The image stays readable; contrast drops only in direct, harsh sun, which is why our survey proposes an orientation that avoids facing the setting sun head-on.
The cabinets are weather-sealed and connections are protected, so rain alone does not stop the event. Wind is the deciding safety factor, not water — which is why a strict wind-speed limit is agreed upon in advance.
It stands on a free-standing ballasted structure and needs no rigging points. However, where a venue has a suitable and certified truss, we can fly it instead.
Typically 1.5 to 4.5 metres, depending on the height and the required ballast. The survey calculates this exactly so it doesn't eat into the stage space or the audience walkways.
The exact resolution of the configuration — for example, 2016 × 1176 px on a 6 × 3.5 m screen. We confirm this in writing as soon as the dimensions are locked, along with the precise video encoding specs.
For a typical configuration of up to 21 m², expect half a day to a full day for the structure, screen installation, cabling, and testing. This does not count site access time and the securing of municipal permits.
It depends on the total surface area and the content being displayed. We calculate the exact requirement during the survey and confirm if the venue's supply is adequate. If not, we will propose a suitable generator solution.
