Planar DirectLight Essential MG 0.9mm – COB LED Cabinet

Product Overview

The Planar DirectLight Essential MG-2COB LED video wall cabinet brings chip-on-board (COB) technology to a fine 0.93mm pixel pitch in a 16:9 cabinet format. This configuration provides a native 640 x 360 resolution within a 600mm x 337.5mm cabinet, making it a building block for high pixel density indoor walls. COB construction increases pixel density and surface durability compared with traditional surface-mount LED designs. The cabinet is designed for high-traffic indoor environments with abundant ambient light.

Product Description

Planar DirectLight Essential is Planar's COB-based fine pitch LED family, introduced to deliver high image quality at a more accessible price point. The MG-2COB configuration here uses a 0.93mm pixel pitch in a 16:9 cabinet measuring 600mm x 337.5mm with a 640 x 360 native resolution, so a 3x3 array forms a full HD-class image and a larger array scales toward UHD. Chip-on-board technology encapsulates the LEDs in a protective resin surface, which improves durability against impact and cleaning while supporting the high pixel densities required at sub-1mm pitches. The series is engineered with a 30,000:1 contrast ratio and a high refresh rate for deep blacks and clean motion, well suited to lobbies, retail, hospitality, conference rooms and broadcast environments with significant ambient light. The 16:9 cabinet supports front and rear installation and maintenance, simplifying array planning and content mapping.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is COB technology? Chip-on-board encapsulates the LEDs in a protective resin surface, increasing pixel density and durability compared with traditional surface-mount LEDs.
• How many cabinets make a Full HD image? Each cabinet is 640 x 360, so a 3x3 array forms a 1920 x 1080 Full HD image. Larger arrays scale toward UHD.
• Is the 0.93mm pitch good for close viewing? Yes. The fine pitch is designed for high pixel density walls viewed at close distances.
• Can it be serviced from the front? The 16:9 cabinet supports both front and rear installation and maintenance.
• Where is the Essential series best used? It is designed for high-traffic indoor spaces with abundant ambient light such as lobbies, retail and conference rooms.
