Planar DirectLight Essential 1.5mm – COB LED Cabinet
Product Overview
The Planar DirectLight Essential Series is a Chip-on-Board (COB) LED video wall that brings high-quality fine-pitch performance to an accessible price point. This 1.5mm cabinet measures 600x337.5mm in a 2x2 module array with a ColorLight VD10 receiver card, front service modules, and a single power supply accepting 100-240V, 50/60Hz input.

Product Description
The DirectLight Essential cabinet (998-4174-00) uses 1.5mm COB LED on a 600x337.5mm cabinet built from a 2x2 module array. COB technology encapsulates the LEDs for higher pixel density and improved durability versus traditional surface-mount designs, and an LED sorting process pairs uniform LEDs to support consistent brightness and color. The series is rated for a 30,000:1 contrast ratio and a 3,840Hz refresh rate, delivering deep blacks and stable capture on camera. A proprietary COB driver IC helps mitigate brightness and color uniformity issues. This cabinet includes a ColorLight VD10 receiver card, front-service modules for installation and maintenance from the viewing side, and a single power supply that accepts 100-240V at 50/60Hz. DirectLight Essential is well suited to lobbies, retail, hospitality, conference rooms, classrooms, and regional broadcast studios, and it is covered by the Planar 3-year LED standard limited warranty. This SKU is a single cabinet; combine cabinets to size the wall. Confirm final brightness for this configuration with our team. See the lineup in our Planar collection.
