Planar Clarity Matrix G3 MX55X2-L | 55" LCD Video Wall 700Nit-1.8MM - 998-2671-00

Product Overview

The Planar Clarity Matrix G3 MX55X2-L is a 55" landscape-orientation LCD video wall panel representing the third generation of Planar's Clarity Matrix platform, designed for wide-format mission-critical display walls where seamless imagery and commercial-grade IPS performance are paramount. With a 1.8mm tiled bezel width, 700 nit brightness, and a commercial IPS LCD panel, it creates expansive, high-quality landscape video wall surfaces for command centers, operations environments, and corporate visualization walls. The G3 IPS panel delivers superior off-axis color consistency across the full horizontal span of large landscape arrays. The MX55X2-L is the landscape companion to the portrait-configured MX55X2-P.

Product Description

The Planar MX55X2-L (SKU: 998-2671-00) is a landscape-configured Clarity Matrix G3 panel built for wide-format video wall applications where the superior viewing-angle performance and color uniformity of IPS technology provides a visible advantage over VA-type LCD alternatives. In landscape video wall arrays spanning six, eight, or more panels wide, observers at the far left and right edges of the room experience significantly better color accuracy with IPS than VA panels, which exhibit color shift at off-center angles. At 1.8mm tiled bezel width, the MX55X2-L produces one of the narrowest landscape seams available in the commercial LCD video wall market, maintaining content continuity across wide-format arrays. The 700 nit brightness sustains clear imagery under typical indoor overhead lighting in corporate and operations environments. Full HD 1920x1080 resolution with LED backlighting ensures sharp rendering of data dashboards, surveillance feeds, maps, and widescreen video across multi-panel landscape arrays. Cat6A STP (shielded twisted pair) cables and connectors are required for signal distribution — this is a G3 infrastructure requirement that integrators must plan for in pre-installation cable runs. Price is listed per panel; contact Creation Networks for full landscape array configuration pricing including mounting, power, and processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the MX55X2-L and MX55X2-P?

Both are Clarity Matrix G3 panels with 1.8mm bezel and 700 nit brightness on a commercial IPS LCD. The MX55X2-L is configured for landscape (horizontal) orientation, suited for wide-format monitoring, data visualization, and command center walls. The MX55X2-P is configured for portrait (vertical) orientation, suited for tall-format wayfinding and brand display walls. Do not mix L and P panels within a single array.

Why does the G3 use IPS rather than VA LCD for landscape walls?

In landscape video walls spanning many panels, viewers at the far lateral edges of large arrays experience significant color shift with VA-type LCD panels. IPS panels maintain color accuracy and contrast at viewing angles up to 178 degrees horizontally, ensuring that all observers — regardless of position relative to the wall — see consistent imagery. This is especially important in control rooms and operations centers with multiple operator stations at varying distances and angles.

What cabling is required for the MX55X2-L?

The Clarity Matrix G3 requires Cat6A STP (shielded twisted pair) cables and connectors. Standard Cat5e or unshielded Cat6 cable is not compatible. Integrators must specify and install Cat6A STP infrastructure before panel deployment — retrofitting cable runs after installation is costly and disruptive.

How is the MX55X2-L priced?

Pricing is per individual panel. Contact Creation Networks for full landscape array configuration pricing, including mounting hardware, power supply modules, Cat6A infrastructure guidance, and video wall processing appropriate for your array dimensions.

How does G3 compare to G2 Clarity Matrix panels for landscape walls?

G3 introduces commercial-grade IPS LCD technology, improving off-axis viewing performance compared to G2. G2 panels (MX55HDX series) offer higher brightness at 800 nit versus G3's 700 nit. Choose G2 for maximum brightness in high-ambient-light environments; choose G3 for superior off-axis color consistency in controlled-light landscape monitoring environments.
