Product Overview

The Planar EP5824K-T is a 58-inch 4K UHD touch display in the EP Series, designed for 24/7 commercial operation in interactive digital signage, collaboration, and education applications. It delivers True 4K at 60Hz via both DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI, with multi-source viewing (2 or 4 simultaneous sources), an OPS expansion slot, and TAA compliance. The touch interface enables interactive use without a separate overlay device. SKU: 997-9251-02.

Product Description

The EP5824K-T is a commercial-grade 58-inch 4K UHD display with integrated touch and the commercial reliability of Planar's EP Series platform. It is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for U.S. federal government procurement without additional sourcing justification. Four times the resolution of Full HD, the 3840 x 2160 panel delivers life-like clarity for data visualization, video conferencing, and content collaboration. Native 4K at 60Hz — supported simultaneously over both DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI — ensures compatibility with existing workstation outputs without signal format compromises. The built-in multi-source processing displays 2 or 4 sources simultaneously in configurable layouts that can be saved and recalled, reducing the need for an external matrix switcher in many deployments. The OPS (Open Pluggable Specification) expansion slot accepts Intel OPS compute modules, PC sticks, and media players, keeping cabling behind the display and enabling a clean installation. The all-metal chassis provides commercial-grade durability and heat dissipation for sustained 24/7 operation. The logo-free bezel with symmetrical design is optimized for portrait installations where branding clutter is undesirable. Crestron drivers are available, streamlining integration into Crestron-controlled AV systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does TAA compliant mean and why does it matter?

TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance means the product is manufactured in the United States or a designated TAA-compliant country. U.S. federal agencies, defense contractors, and many state and local government entities are required by procurement regulations to purchase TAA-compliant technology. The EP5824K-T meets this requirement; many competing commercial displays do not.

What OPS modules are compatible with the EP5824K-T?

The OPS slot accepts any Intel Open Pluggable Specification-compliant module, including Intel OPS compute modules, PC sticks, and compatible media players. Planar lists approved OPS modules on their accessories page. This enables the display to function as a standalone interactive computer without external cabling to a PC.

Can the EP5824K-T display 4K content at 60Hz from a laptop?

Yes. True 4K at 60Hz is supported over both DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI. Most modern laptops with discrete graphics support 4K at 60Hz output. For 4K at 60Hz over HDMI, the source device must output HDMI 2.0 — confirm your source device's HDMI version before installation.

How does multi-source viewing work?

The built-in processing engine supports displaying 2 or 4 video sources simultaneously in configurable picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture layouts. Preferred layouts can be saved as presets and recalled via the display's control interface, enabling quick switching between single-source and multi-source modes without an external processor.

Is the EP5824K-T suitable for portrait installation?

Yes. The logo-free symmetrical bezel is specifically designed with portrait installations in mind — there is no branding text that would appear sideways in portrait mode. Touch and display orientation can be configured for portrait use. VESA mounting is included for wall or stand mounting in either orientation.

What Crestron integration support is provided?

Planar provides Crestron drivers for the EP Series, available through the Planar modules and drivers page. These prebuilt drivers significantly reduce programming time for Crestron-integrated AV systems and are supported by Crestron's driver certification process.
