LED Upgrade: PPDS Modernizes PSV Eindhoven Stadium

PPDS upgrades the Philips Stadium ahead of the 2025/26 season, installing four new Urban LED 6000 walls. Higher brightness, finer pixel pitch and lower energy consumption redefine the visual experience for PSV Eindhoven fans.

Shortly before the start of the 2025/26 Eredivisie season, PPDS has installed four new LED walls at PSV Eindhoven’s Philips Stadium, replacing the existing displays previously supplied by Philips.

With the deployment of its Urban LED 6000 Series, the manufacturer is delivering higher brightness, a finer pixel pitch and improved energy efficiency. As a result, PSV Eindhoven now benefits from a completely upgraded visual infrastructure for matches and events.

Double the brightness

Each of the new LED walls measures 8 x 4.5 metres and features a pixel pitch of 6.67 millimetres – a significantly higher resolution than the former P16 displays. The new screens achieve a brightness level of 10,000 nits, doubling the luminance of their predecessors.

The LEDs have also been positioned to reduce the viewing distance for many spectators to as little as 30 meters from the nearest display. In addition, the new LED walls reduce energy consumption: each screen requires 18 kW, compared to 23 kW previously.

IP65-rated LEDs

The Urban LED 6000 Series is IP65 certified, meaning the displays are designed to withstand temperatures ranging from –20°C to 50°C, while also being resistant to rain and airborne pollution.

Koen Vroomen, Sales Manager Benelux at PPDS, commented: “Continuing PPDS’ enviable association and affiliation in designing and providing tailored dvLED solutions to some of the world’s leading professional teams – with FC Barcelona, Oracle Red Bull Racing and Harlequins RFC among those made public – we were delighted to be part of this exciting project.”

The installation was completed within three weeks, with PPDS working in close collaboration with technical partner Mansveld Techniek.
