Product Overview

The Planar LX55HDU-L-100 is a 55-inch Clarity Matrix G2 landscape LCD video wall display delivering Full HD 1920x1080 resolution at 500 nit brightness. SKU 997-9140-00 ships as a single-panel unit designed for tiled landscape video wall arrays, featuring Planar's EasyAxis Mounting System for precise alignment and an ultra-thin 3.6-inch installed depth. Optimized for controlled ambient light environments requiring cost-effective, high-quality video wall performance.

Product Description

The LX55HDU-L-100 is Planar's second-generation 55-inch landscape video wall panel, offering proven Clarity Matrix G2 architecture for integrators and end users who need reliable multi-panel performance without the premium of G3. The unit ships with a 3.7mm tiled bezel gap and LED backlighting, producing uniform, color-accurate imagery across large tiled arrays. The EasyAxis six-axis adjustment system enables fine-tuned panel-to-panel alignment post-installation, critical for maintaining seamless visual continuity across multi-panel walls.

The LX55HDU-L-100 supports front-service mode, allowing a single technician to access and replace a panel without removing surrounding units — a critical advantage for large-format arrays in 24/7 installations. Input connectivity includes HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces, and the panel is compatible with the full range of Planar video wall content management and processing solutions. The -100 suffix denotes this is the landscape-mount, non-ERO variant of the LX55HDU family.
