960×960 mm Stadium LED Display
The ST960 is a sports stadium LED screen built for professional sports venues and outdoor events. It uses a 960×960mm cabinet, which is a standard size in the outdoor LED screen industry, making it easy to plan and install across different venue types.
It shares the same core specs as the ST1440—just in a smaller cabinet size. With IP66 protection, a 3840Hz refresh rate, and a lightweight aluminum build, it holds up well in all weather conditions. The soft EVA foam cover and rubber mask protect athletes during live matches and keep the LEDs safe from impact.
If you are looking for a perimeter LED screen for a football stadium, basketball arena, or multi-sport venue, the ST960 is a solid option within our full range of Outdoor LED Display Solutions.
P8 — The Right Pixel Pitch for Stadium Use
The ST960 comes in P8, which means an 8mm pixel pitch. For a stadium perimeter LED screen, this is a good fit. Most spectators in the stands are sitting 8 meters or more from the screen, and at that distance, P8 produces a sharp, clean image.
Broadcast cameras also handle it well, with no flicker in slow-motion footage. P8 is one of the most widely used pixel pitches for outdoor sports venues because it balances image quality and cost in a practical way.
Common Cathode — Lower Power Bills
The FC8 (P8) series uses Common Cathode technology, which sends the right voltage to each LED color channel separately. This cuts power use by over 30% compared to standard designs.
The screen also runs about 15°C cooler, which puts less stress on the LEDs and makes them last longer. Over a full season, the energy savings add up to a real cost difference.
Compact Cabinet, Easy to Handle
The ST960 uses the same full die-casting aluminum construction as the ST1440 but in a smaller 960×960mm format. It weighs just 29 kg per cabinet and is only 91 mm thick.
The compact size makes it easier to transport, store, and install in venues with limited perimeter space.
Soft Protection for Athletes
The top of this stadium LED display has a soft EVA foam cover, and the LED surface uses a soft rubber mask.
If a player runs into the screen at full speed, these soft materials absorb the impact and reduce the risk of injury. They also protect the LEDs from damage, so you spend less on repairs after a collision.
Adjustable Tilt — 90° to 120°
The base support opens and closes with a 90° rotation for quick setup. Once open, you can set the screen angle to seven positions: 90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, or 120°.
This lets you aim the sports stadium LED screen toward different seating sections or camera positions. When not in use, the stand folds flat and takes up very little storage space.
Stays Upright Under Impact
A stadium LED screen takes hits — from balls, players, and wind. The ST960’s steel ground supporter and locking buckles hold the cabinet in a firm, stable stance once deployed.
It stays vertical on uneven ground and won’t shift under direct impact or strong wind, keeping the picture steady throughout the match.
Standard Cabinet Size — Easy to Configure
The ST960 uses a 960×960mm cabinet. This is a standard size in the outdoor LED screen industry, which makes the whole process simpler — from planning the layout to sourcing accessories.
The cabinets tile evenly, so you can build any screen length without cutting or custom parts. Whether you need a short courtside run or a full stadium perimeter, the setup stays straightforward, and the costs are easier to manage.
Fast Module Swap — Front or Rear
Each 480×320mm module has a mechanical latch and a built-in handle. One technician can pull out and replace a module in seconds, from either the front or the back.
No special tools needed. For stadium LED display installations where rear access is tight, front service keeps maintenance simple and downtime short.
3840Hz Refresh — Clear on Camera
The ST960 runs at 3840Hz with 14–16-bit grayscale. At this refresh rate, the sports perimeter LED screen shows no flicker even under slow-motion broadcast cameras.
With brightness of 6500 nits or more, the image stays sharp and vivid in full sunlight or under stadium floodlights. Action replays and sponsor ads both look clean and professional on screen.
IP66 Weather Protection
The ST960 carries an IP66 rating on both the front and rear of the cabinet. It is fully sealed against dust and resistant to heavy rain, making it suitable for year-round outdoor installation with no additional enclosure required.
Whether it’s a rainy match day or a dusty outdoor venue, the stadium LED display keeps running without interruption.
Specifications for the ST960 Series
The ST960 Stadium LED display is available in two cabinet sizes: 1440×960 mm and 960×960 mm. Both sizes share the same aluminum construction, IP66 protection, 3840Hz refresh rate, and overall cabinet depth of 91mm. The 960×960mm cabinet is covered on this page.

Stadium LED Screen FAQs
A stadium LED display is primarily used along the edges of sports fields, such as football stadiums, basketball courts, and athletic arenas. It is designed to display advertisements, sponsor branding, live match content, and event information, helping venues increase commercial value and audience engagement.
The primary difference is the cabinet width. The ST960 has a compact width of 960mm, while the ST1440 is 1440mm wide. Both share the same height (960mm), ultra-slim 91mm thickness, and core features like the soft rubber mask and IP66 protection. ST960 is ideal for stadium layouts that require more flexible or smaller installation segments.
Yes. The ST960 features a foldable and rotating support frame. The screen angle can be adjusted from 90° to 120°. This allows you to position the display perfectly for both the live audience in the stands and the high-speed cameras used for TV broadcasting.
Yes. The ST960 works with mainstream LED control systems. Our team can advise on compatibility based on your existing setup or recommend a suitable control solution for your project.
Choosing the right stadium LED display depends on factors such as pixel pitch, viewing distance, installation space, and budget. For football fields or large stadiums, a balance between visibility and cost is important, while high refresh rate and durability are essential for professional sports applications.
Routine maintenance for a sports LED display includes checking modules, cleaning the surface, inspecting cables, and replacing faulty components if needed. Displays with front and rear service access make maintenance much easier and faster.
The cost of a stadium LED display varies based on pixel pitch, cabinet size, brightness, protection level, and energy-saving technology. Outdoor sports LED displays with higher durability and features like common cathode design may have higher upfront cost but offer better long-term value.
