LED Video Wall Displays
Industry Awards
Product Highlights
High-Res MicroLED
MicroLEDs are less than half the size of the smallest standard LEDs and deliver up to three times more brightness, excellent color uniformity, better overall contrast and deeper blacks. They are also more energy efficient and produce less heat at the same brightness. Their small size facilitates the highest resolution for LED, even in smaller video walls.
Always-On Reliability
Displays are designed for mission-critical environments where displays need to withstand extended or continuous operation and deliver exceptional performance day and night.
HDR Ready
Displays are ready for High Dynamic Range content, maximizing the image quality of each pixel for brighter whites, darker blacks and more true-to-life colors.
Continuous Alignment
Planar® ActivAlign™ proprietary self-adjusting alignment technology maintains high visual performance over time, combating issues such as vibration and thermal expansion that can cause LED modules to shift and disrupt the seamless visual experience.
Powerful Video Control
The compact and scalable Planar® WallDirector™ Video Controller drives the video wall at native resolution while its corresponding web-based management software simplifies set-up, configuration, operation and monitoring. The 1U rack mount video controller captures multiple 4K inputs and can be stacked with additional controllers for more video inputs.
Reliable Off-Board Power
The Planar® Remote Power Supply (RPS) takes heat, depth, noise, weight, service points and electrical outlets away from the video wall and into a rack room. Featuring n+1 redundant, hot swap power modules, the Planar RPS is available with 110V and 220V power and features a low power standby mode when not operating 24x7.
