Product Overview

The Planar DirectLight Ultra Complete UHD 136" is a commercial-grade MicroLED video wall system delivering 4K UHD resolution across a 136-inch diagonal display. Built around a 0.9mm fine pixel pitch, this 4K LED video wall system is suited for conference rooms, boardrooms, and briefing centers where image sharpness at medium viewing distances is a priority. As a TAA-compliant LED video wall, the system qualifies for U.S. government and institutional procurement programs. Everything required for installation arrives in a single, pre-specified package — reducing the coordination burden for AV integrators and IT facilities teams.

Product Description

The Planar DirectLight Ultra Complete UHD 136" is packaged as a complete commercial indoor LED video wall solution, eliminating the need to source cabinets, controllers, mounts, and cabling separately. The system includes LED display cabinets, wall mounting hardware, trim, interconnect cables, a remote control, Planar Remote Power Supply, and factory-matched spare modules.

The Planar WallDirector Video Controller is included and fully configured for this system, providing signal management, display calibration, and content routing out of the box. At 0.9mm pixel pitch, the panel delivers a pixel density appropriate for close and medium-range viewing — a primary requirement in conference environments where participants are seated within 6 to 12 feet of the screen.

The front-serviceable LED display design ensures that all module-level maintenance is carried out from the front face of the installation, with no rear access space required. This characteristic makes the 136" system well suited to permanent buildouts in finished interior spaces. At ~1000 nits brightness and a 10000:1 contrast ratio, the display performs reliably under ambient lighting conditions common in corporate conference rooms and government meeting facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum recommended viewing distance for the 136" DirectLight Ultra at 0.9mm pixel pitch?
At 0.9mm pixel pitch, the recommended minimum viewing distance is approximately 3 to 4 feet, with an optimal range of 5 to 12 feet for conference and boardroom environments. This makes the system appropriate for standard-sized conference rooms where participants are seated at a table in front of the display.
Can the system be installed on drywall or does it require special structural support?
The included wall mount hardware is designed for installation on standard commercial wall construction. For permanent installations on drywall, the mounts should be anchored into wall studs or a backing frame. Creation Networks can connect you with installation resources to evaluate structural requirements for your specific space.
Is the WallDirector Video Controller rack-mountable?
The Planar WallDirector Video Controller is designed for AV rack integration. Consult the WallDirector hardware specifications or contact Creation Networks for rack unit sizing and rack-mount accessory information specific to your equipment room layout.
Does the 136" system support 4K input signals, or does it upscale lower resolutions?
The WallDirector Video Controller supports native 4K input signals. It also handles lower-resolution inputs with scaling to fill the 3840x2160 display. For a full list of supported input resolutions and refresh rates, refer to the WallDirector technical datasheet.
Is this product TAA compliant for government procurement?
Yes. The Planar DirectLight Ultra Complete UHD 136" is TAA compliant and eligible for U.S. federal and state government procurement, including GSA Schedule purchasing. Contact Creation Networks to verify current contract vehicle availability for your project.
What warranty coverage is included, and are extended service plans available?
