How Much Does a 110㎡ P10 Outdoor LED Billboard Cost?
Planning a large outdoor LED billboard involves more than calculating the price of LED panels. Buyers also need to consider the control system, steel structure, installation, transportation, power distribution and long-term electricity consumption.
In this example, we break down the estimated cost of a 110.59㎡ P10 outdoor LED display using 960×960mm cabinets. The project is designed for wall-mounted outdoor advertising and provides a practical reference for estimating the total investment of a similar LED billboard project.
Project Overview
For this outdoor advertising project, the LED screen measures:
Screen Size: 14.4m (W) × 7.68m (H)
Total Area: 110.59㎡
Pixel Pitch: P10
Cabinet Size: 960×960mm
Cabinet Quantity: 15 × 8 = 120 cabinets
Installation: Wall-mounted
Application: Outdoor advertising LED billboard
The 960×960mm cabinet is particularly suitable for large outdoor LED displays because its standardized dimensions make screen layout, steel structure design, installation and maintenance easier.
1. LED Display & Control System Cost
The LED display itself normally represents the largest part of the project budget.
For a P10 outdoor LED display, the screen cost generally includes LED modules, cabinets, power supplies, receiving cards, internal cables and other necessary components.
The control system should also be included when calculating the complete LED billboard price. The exact configuration depends on the screen resolution, control distance, content requirements and redundancy requirements.
For this project, 120 pieces of 960×960mm outdoor LED cabinets are required to create the complete 14.4 × 7.68m display.
LED screen cost = Price per cabinet × 120 cabinets (Contact us for the quotation)
For an actual quotation, the final price will depend on LED brand, brightness, refresh rate, power supply, control system and other component specifications.
2. Computer, Audio System & Power Distribution
A complete outdoor LED billboard project may also require equipment beyond the LED screen itself.
Depending on the application, this can include a control computer, video processor, audio system, amplifier and LED display power distribution cabinet.
For a commercial advertising billboard, an audio system may not always be necessary. Therefore, these items should be selected according to the actual installation environment rather than automatically included in every project.
3. Steel Structure, Decoration & Installation
For a 110㎡ outdoor LED display, the supporting steel structure is another important part of the total project cost.
The cost may include:
- Steel support structure
- Wall mounting structure
- External decorative materials
- Installation hardware
- Local lifting equipment
- Installation labor
Steel structure costs vary significantly between projects because they depend on the building structure, installation height, wind load requirements, local engineering standards and labor costs.
For this reason, the supporting structure should normally be evaluated according to the actual installation site and engineering drawings.
4. Transportation Cost
Shipping cost depends on the total packed volume and weight of the 120 LED cabinets, spare parts, control equipment and other accessories.
The final freight cost will also vary according to the destination country, shipping method and Incoterms.
For large LED billboard projects, sea freight is normally more economical than air freight.
5. Engineer Installation Support Cost
For overseas projects, on-site technical support can be arranged when required.
Using this project as an example, an estimated engineer support budget could include:
Round-trip airfare: approximately USD 400
Hotel: approximately USD 60/night × 3–4 nights
Engineer service: USD 120/day × 3 days
Based on these estimates, the engineer-related cost would be approximately:
USD 940–1,000
This is an estimated reference only. Visa fees, local transportation, meals and additional working days should also be considered where applicable.
6. How Much Electricity Does a 110㎡ P10 Outdoor LED Display Use?
Electricity consumption is an important long-term operating cost for a large outdoor LED advertising screen.
For this 110㎡ P10 LED billboard, estimated average power consumption is approximately:
22 kW per hour
If the LED screen operates for 8 hours per day:
22 kW × 8 hours = 176 kWh/day
Therefore, estimated daily electricity consumption is approximately:
176 kWh per day
If operated 30 days per month:
176 × 30 = 5,280 kWh/month
And if operated 365 days per year:
176 × 365 = 64,240 kWh/year
The actual electricity cost can then be calculated using the local commercial electricity rate:
Electricity Cost = Power Consumption (kWh) × Local Electricity Price
For example, if electricity costs USD 0.15/kWh:
Daily: USD 26.40
Monthly: approximately USD 792
Yearly: approximately USD 9,636
Actual LED display power consumption varies with brightness settings, displayed content, operating hours, power supply efficiency and environmental conditions.
What Determines the Cost of a P10 Outdoor LED Display?
There is no single fixed price per square meter that applies to every outdoor LED billboard.
Two P10 LED displays of exactly the same size can have different prices because of differences in LED quality, brightness, refresh rate, cabinet material, power supply, control system, waterproof design and project requirements.
For large outdoor advertising projects, buyers should compare the complete system configuration rather than simply choosing the lowest LED screen price per square meter.
