Planar LX46HDU 3D-L-100 46"Matrix G2 3D 1920x1080 500nit landscape - 997-8494-00

Product Overview

The Planar LX46HDU 3D-L-100 is a 46-inch Clarity Matrix G2 LCD video wall component panel configured for landscape orientation and engineered for passive 3D display applications. Operating at 500 nits of brightness with Full HD 1920x1080 resolution, this panel delivers accurate color and consistent luminance across tiled video wall arrays in controlled-light environments. The G2 generation introduces 4K input capability, 10-bit color processing, and support for Planar Big Picture Plus Video Wall Processing, enabling multi-source scaling across the full wall surface. With a tiled bezel width as narrow as 1.7mm and built-in video extension up to 500 feet, the LX46HDU 3D-L-100 is designed for mission-critical government, broadcast, and operations center deployments requiring 3D passive display capability.

Product Description

The Planar LX46HDU 3D-L-100 (SKU 997-8494-00) is a second-generation Clarity Matrix LCD video wall panel that supports passive 3D display output in landscape orientation — a specialized capability for simulation, government visualization, and broadcast applications where depth perception enhances the viewing experience. The G2 platform provides 4K input capability with 10-bit color processing for superior color depth and uniformity across a tiled array. Off-board electronics design removes processing hardware from the display surface, enabling front-access service without disturbing adjacent panels in the wall. The EasyAxis Mounting System delivers an installed depth of just 3.6 inches (91mm) — the narrowest in the industry — while ensuring precise panel-to-panel alignment. Integrated video extension to 500 feet eliminates the cost and reliability risk of third-party cable extenders, and a single power supply module can drive up to eight displays, significantly reducing rack space requirements. Planar WallNet software with SNMP support provides ongoing health monitoring for the full video wall installation. The panel is ENERGY STAR rated and EU RoHS compliant, supporting sustainability requirements for government and institutional buyers.

Key Features

• Passive 3D Display Output — Landscape-configured panel supports 3D passive viewing for simulation, visualization, and specialized broadcast applications.
• 4K Input with 10-Bit Color Processing — G2 platform accepts 4K sources and processes with 10-bit color depth for superior uniformity across tiled video wall configurations.
• 1.7mm Tiled Bezel Width — Ultra-narrow bezel minimizes visible seams between adjacent panels for a near-seamless 3D video wall canvas.
• 500 nit Brightness — Consistent 500 nit output maintains image quality in controlled-light boardroom, government, and broadcast environments.
• Built-In Video Extension to 500 Feet — Eliminates the need for third-party cable extenders, reducing installation cost and single points of failure.
• Single PSU Drives Up to 8 Displays — One power supply module powers up to eight panels, cutting rack space requirements and AC outlet count significantly.
• Off-Board Electronics Design — Processing components are separated from the display surface, enabling front-access service with zero disruption to adjacent panels.
• Redundant Power Supply Modules — Hot-swappable redundant power provides continuous operation even during a power supply failure, supporting 24x7 reliability requirements.
• WallNet + SNMP Monitoring — Integrated health and status monitoring via Planar WallNet software with SNMP support for enterprise network management integration.
• ENERGY STAR and EU RoHS Compliant — Meets energy efficiency and environmental standards relevant to government, education, and institutional procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of 3D does the LX46HDU 3D-L-100 support?

This panel supports passive 3D display output. Passive 3D uses polarized glasses rather than active shutter glasses, which reduces viewer fatigue during extended use — relevant for government visualization, simulation, and broadcast environments where operators view the display for long periods.

Is this panel for landscape use only?

Yes. The LX46HDU 3D-L-100 is configured and optimized for landscape orientation. The 3D passive display output is designed and calibrated for horizontal landscape operation; portrait installation is not supported on this model.

How many panels can one power supply drive?

A single power supply module in the Clarity Matrix G2 system can drive up to eight display panels. This significantly reduces the number of AC power outlets required behind the wall and cuts rack space requirements compared to per-panel power configurations.

Does the built-in video extension require additional hardware?

No. Built-in video extension up to 500 feet (150 meters) is standard in the Clarity Matrix G2 platform and does not require third-party cable extenders or additional hardware, reducing both cost and potential failure points in the signal path.

Is this panel compliant with government procurement requirements?

The LX46HDU 3D-L-100 is ENERGY STAR certified and EU RoHS compliant. Government and institutional buyers should verify TAA compliance requirements with their account representative, as TAA status may vary by configuration.

Does this panel integrate with Planar's monitoring software?

Yes. The panel integrates with Planar WallNet software for health and status monitoring across the video wall installation. SNMP support enables integration with enterprise-grade network management systems used in government and operations environments.
