PPDS equips PSV Eindhoven’s stadium with Philips dvLED scoreboards

PSV (Philips Sport Vereniging) Eindhoven, one of the Netherlands’ most successful football teams, has installed four new Philips Urban LED walls inside its stadium, the 35,000 capacity Philips Stadion. The outdoor dvLED scoreboards were delivered by PPDS.

After twelve years, and with visual technology advancing significantly, the stadium’s existing P16 Philips LED walls within the Philips Stadion no longer met the needs and requirements of the club, nor expectations from fans. Having previously upgraded the club’s corporate areas with an array of Philips signage and interactive displays, PSV once again approached PPDS to find a solution.

The screens needed to be seamlessly adaptable to various hosted events (beyond football). Sustainability was also a core focus for PSV. Bringing on board local AV and technical specialist and PPDS Partner Mansveld Techniek, the new Philips Urban LED 6000 Series was chosen. The IP65-rated products, resistant to water and potentially hazardous or corrosive airborne pollutants, offer a 6.67 pixel pitch and 10,000 nits of brightness - a five times step up from the previous pixel pitch, while also doubling the original 5,000 nits.

Each of the four walls is strategically placed for fans with up to 30 meter viewing distances, rather than the more traditional two videowalls positioned at each end of the stadium. Completed within three weeks, ahead of the start of the 2025/26 Eredivisie season, the new 8 m x 4.5 m walls operate with a power consumption of 18 kw, which brings immediate cost of ownership savings when compared to each of the original walls’ 23 kw power consumption.

PSV’s association with Philips is now entering its 113th year, with the club founded by Philips employees - and Philips itself founded in Eindhoven - back in 1913. As the club’s biggest supporter, Philips is recognised by the Guiness World Records as holding the longest sponsorship partnership in sports history.
