Planar 46" MX46HDX video wall Display - 997-8995-00
Product Overview
The Planar MX46HDX (997-8995-00) is a 46-inch Clarity Matrix G2 LCD video wall display — the base configuration of the MX46HDX family, shipping without integrated landscape or VESA mount hardware. Rated at 800 nit brightness with 1920x1080 Full HD resolution and a 1.7mm minimum tiled bezel width, this panel is designed for 24/7 mission-critical operation. The 997-8995-00 is the correct selection for integrators building custom support structures or specifying their own mounting hardware independent of Planar's EasyAxis system.
Product Description
The MX46HDX base unit (997-8995-00) provides the same 800 nit, 46-inch, G2 display performance as the MX46HDX-L (landscape) and MX46HDX-V (VESA) variants, without bundled mounting hardware. This gives integrators maximum flexibility: the panel ships ready to integrate into custom fabricated mounting systems, existing third-party mounting infrastructure, or specialty rigging requirements not addressed by a standard EasyAxis or VESA configuration. The base unit is also the appropriate selection for replacement panel procurement in existing MX46HDX arrays where mount hardware is already in place.
The MX46HDX sets a benchmark with its 1.7mm tiled bezel width — creating a near-seamless digital canvas across large-format arrays. With 800 nit brightness, the display maintains full legibility and contrast in environments with significant ambient light. Off-board electronics keep heat-generating components separate from the LCD panel, extending panel life and simplifying field replacement of electronic components without disturbing the display. The panel carries EU RoHS certification and a 3-year limited warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the 997-8995-00 base unit and the MX46HDX-L and MX46HDX-V variants?
- All three are the same 46-inch G2 800 nit LCD panel. The 997-8995-00 ships without any integrated mount hardware — the correct choice for replacement panels in existing arrays or custom-mount integrations. The MX46HDX-L (997-9386-00) ships with Planar's EasyAxis landscape system included. The MX46HDX-V (997-8996-00) ships VESA-ready for third-party mounts. Display performance is identical across all three configurations.
- Is this panel suitable as a replacement unit in an existing MX46HDX array?
- Yes. The 997-8995-00 base unit is the standard replacement panel for existing MX46HDX video wall arrays where mounting hardware is already in place. It ships without mount components, making it the most straightforward swap-in for a failed panel in an installed array.
- Why does the MX46HDX have 800 nit when many video wall panels are 500 nit?
- The MX designation (vs. LX) indicates the higher-brightness tier within the Clarity Matrix G2 family. 800 nit panels are specified for environments with significant ambient light where 500 nit panels produce insufficient contrast. The additional brightness comes at a modest power consumption increase but delivers meaningfully better visibility in real-world high-ambient-light deployments.
- What video inputs does the MX46HDX support?
- The MX46HDX supports HDMI and serial (RS-232) interfaces. It is compatible with Planar and Leyard video wall processing controllers as well as third-party systems that support these interface types.
- Does this panel carry a RoHS certification?
- Yes. The Planar MX46HDX (997-8995-00) carries EU RoHS certification, confirming compliance with the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive for commercial electronics.
- What warranty applies to this product?
- The MX46HDX carries Planar's 3-year limited warranty. Creation Networks can provide information on extended service agreements and on-site support coverage for 24/7 mission-critical installations.
