Planar Luminate Ultra W – 231" UHD Outdoor LED Wall

Product Overview

The Planar Luminate Ultra W is a complete 231-inch Ultra HD outdoor LED video wall package built for high-ambient-light environments where conventional displays wash out. This fine-pitch direct view LED video wall ships as a deployment-ready system that includes the Planar video controller, wall mounts, trim, cables, and spare modules. With sustained high-brightness output and an IP65-rated 16:9 design, it is well suited to stadium concourses, transit hubs, and large-format outdoor digital signage. Creation Networks specifies, configures, and supports the system for commercial AV integration from design through installation.

Product Description

The Luminate Ultra W Series brings a 16:9 wide-aspect format to Planar's high-brightness outdoor LED portfolio, making it a strong fit for a fine pitch LED video wall that must remain readable in direct sunlight. This 231-inch configuration is supplied as a complete commercial LED video wall package: LED cabinets, a Planar Z5 video controller, mounting structure, edge trim, interconnect cabling, and on-site spare modules. Glue-on-Board (GOB) protection hardens the LED surface against impact, moisture, and cleaning in exposed installations. The Series delivers up to 3,000 nits of brightness and carries an IP65 environmental rating for outdoor deployment. Available pixel pitches across the Series are 1.3mm, 1.6mm, and 2.0mm, supporting comfortable close-up viewing in pedestrian environments. Front or rear service access simplifies maintenance when the wall is recessed or wall-mounted with limited rear clearance. Because the package is pre-engineered, integrators reduce parts-matching and on-site commissioning time for outdoor digital signage projects. For indoor fine-pitch requirements, compare the Planar DirectLight and Luminate video wall families available from Creation Networks. Our team can align pixel pitch, brightness, and controller capacity to your viewing distance and content resolution before you order.
