Product Description

This Planar 55" video wall panel (998-2597-00) delivers Full HD 1920x1080 resolution with an exceptional 700 cd/m2 brightness rating — 40% higher than the standard 500-nit class — making it well-suited to environments with high ambient light such as retail showrooms, transportation hubs, and broadcast studios. The 2.5mm bezel-to-bezel specification creates a near-seamless tiled display surface across multi-panel configurations. Built-in video wall scaling supports arrays up to 10x10 panels. Connectivity includes dual HDMI, DVI in/out, DisplayPort in/out, VGA, Component, and Composite inputs. An OPS slot enables embedded computing. Source failover, on/off scheduling, and IR/RS-232/LAN control round out the professional feature set. Carrying handles ease installation logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this panel have 700 nits instead of 500 nits?

The 700 cd/m2 brightness rating provides superior legibility in high-ambient-light environments such as retail showrooms, transit hubs, and any space where competing light sources would wash out a standard 500-nit display.

What is the maximum video wall size this panel supports?

Built-in processing supports video wall configurations up to 10x10 (100 panels). For larger or more complex configurations, an external video wall controller is recommended.

Does the panel include source failover?

Yes. Source failover automatically switches to a backup input signal if the primary source is lost, ensuring uninterrupted content display in mission-critical applications.

What is the bezel-to-bezel measurement?

The bezel-to-bezel measurement between adjacent panels in a tiled array is 2.5mm, which produces a nearly seamless visual surface across the video wall.

Can the panel be used as a standalone display?

Yes. While optimized for video wall deployments, the panel can operate as a standalone large-format display with full connectivity including HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, and OPS slot computing support.
