Planar DirectLight Essential – 136in 1.5mm COB HD LED Wall

Product Overview

The Planar DirectLight Essential is a chip-on-board (COB) LED video wall built to deliver durable, high-quality direct-view imaging in high-traffic indoor environments. This complete package forms a 136-inch HD video wall using 1.5mm pixel pitch COB cabinets in a 2x2 array, paired with a VC4-L controller and spares. As a fine-pitch COB LED video wall, it offers strong contrast and resilient operation for lobbies, conference rooms, and broadcast spaces. The full-front-access cabinet design simplifies installation and service.

Product Description

This DirectLight Essential complete system is built around 1.5mm pitch COB cabinets arranged in a 2x2 configuration to produce a 136-inch diagonal HD canvas. COB (chip-on-board) construction provides higher pixel density and improved durability compared with traditional surface-mount LED designs, supporting dependable long-term performance in busy spaces. The series uses 27-inch full-front-access cabinets, allowing installation and service from the front, which is important for flush or recessed wall mounting. The package includes a single power supply configuration, the Planar VC4-L video controller, and spare components for commissioning and maintenance. With a 30,000:1 contrast ratio and a 3,840Hz refresh rate, the system delivers deep blacks and flicker-free on-camera capture for broadcast and conferencing. This configuration suits conference rooms, lobbies, classrooms, and regional broadcast studios in ambient-lit conditions. For complementary LED walls, controllers, and mounts, browse the Planar collection at Creation Networks. Final brightness specification and per-cabinet details for this configuration should be confirmed with Creation Networks. Professional installation and calibration are recommended to achieve uniform output across the array.
