Planar LX46U 3D 46" Matrix G3 500 nit LCD video Wall landscape - 998-0363-00

Product Overview

The Planar LX46U 3D (SKU 998-0363-00) is a 46-inch Clarity Matrix G3 LCD video wall panel in landscape orientation, supporting 3D passive display output at 500 nits of brightness with a tiled bezel width as narrow as 1.7mm. As a third-generation Clarity Matrix panel, this model adds Leyard WallDirector web-based management, updated Planar Big Picture Plus processing supporting 4K at 60Hz, and n+1 hot-swappable redundant power via Remote Power Supply — making it a significant upgrade over the G2 LX46HDU 3D panel also available on this site. The G3 LX46U 3D is designed for government visualization, simulation, and broadcast environments where passive 3D display capability is required alongside the reliability and video processing architecture of current-generation Clarity Matrix infrastructure. Buyers should note that this G3 panel differs from the non-3D G3 LX46U (SKU 998-1162-00) listed separately; this product includes the 3D passive display subsystem.

Product Description

The Planar LX46U 3D G3 (SKU 998-0363-00) is the current-generation Clarity Matrix 46-inch landscape video wall panel with integrated passive 3D display capability, representing a meaningful advancement over the G2 LX46HDU 3D-L-100 predecessor. The G3 generation introduces Leyard WallDirector software for web-based video wall management without dedicated server hardware, updated Big Picture Plus processing with full 4K at 60Hz multi-source capability, and the Remote Power Supply with n+1 hot-swappable redundancy — all absent from the G2 platform. The 1.7mm tiled bezel is the narrowest in the Clarity Matrix line and matches the G2 predecessor's bezel specification, ensuring that 3D video wall arrays built on the G3 platform maintain the near-seamless appearance that makes Clarity Matrix competitive with direct-view LED alternatives at much lower cost per panel. Off-board electronics design keeps processing components off the display surface for front-access service without disturbing adjacent panels. EasyAxis Mounting System achieves a 3.6-inch installed depth for flush, precisely aligned multi-panel arrays. For integrators comparing G2 vs G3: the G3 LX46U 3D adds WallDirector management, updated 4K processing, RPS redundant power, and HDMI 2.0 / DisplayPort 1.2 — the G2 platform offers none of these.

Key Features

• Passive 3D Display Output (G3) — Third-generation 46-inch landscape panel with integrated 3D passive display capability for simulation, visualization, and broadcast applications.
• 500 Nit Brightness — Consistent luminance for controlled-light environments; appropriate for government spaces, boardrooms, and managed-lighting installations.
• 1.7mm Tiled Bezel Width — Narrowest available in the Clarity Matrix line, producing a near-seamless 3D video wall canvas in multi-panel arrays.
• Leyard WallDirector Software — Web-based video wall management with one-button presets, drag-and-drop source routing, and health monitoring — G3 exclusive over G2 predecessor.
• Big Picture Plus Processing (4K @ 60Hz) — Multi-source 4K processing with PiP and multi-zone layouts; significant upgrade from G2 processing capability.
• n+1 Hot-Swappable Redundant Power — Remote Power Supply maintains operation through a power supply failure with live-swap replacement; not available in G2 platform.
• HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 — Current-generation 4K connectivity standards; upgraded from G2 input specifications.
• Off-Board Electronics Design — Front-access service without panel removal; minimizes maintenance disruption in mission-critical 3D video wall installations.
• 3.6-Inch Installed Depth — EasyAxis Mounting System achieves the thinnest industry profile for precise panel-to-panel alignment.

Typical Applications

• Government space visualization and situational awareness displays requiring passive 3D output
• Broadcast studio 3D content monitoring and display arrays
• Boardroom and executive briefing centers with immersive 3D display capability
• Multi-purpose room simulation and visualization installations

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the G3 LX46U 3D differ from the G2 LX46HDU 3D also on this site?

The G3 LX46U 3D (SKU 998-0363-00) adds Leyard WallDirector web-based management software, updated Big Picture Plus processing with 4K at 60Hz, n+1 hot-swappable Remote Power Supply redundancy, and HDMI 2.0 / DisplayPort 1.2 connectivity. None of these are present in the G2 LX46HDU 3D-L-100 (SKU 997-8494-00). The G3 also maintains the same 1.7mm tiled bezel specification as the G2.

How does the G3 LX46U 3D differ from the non-3D G3 LX46U on this site?

The LX46U 3D (this product, SKU 998-0363-00) includes the passive 3D display subsystem. The standard G3 LX46U (SKU 998-1162-00) does not include 3D capability. Both share the same G3 platform with WallDirector, Big Picture Plus processing, and RPS redundant power. Choose the 3D variant when your installation requires passive 3D output.

What type of 3D does this panel support and what glasses are required?

The LX46U 3D G3 supports passive 3D display output. Passive 3D uses polarized glasses, which are lightweight, inexpensive, and do not require batteries or active electronics. This reduces viewer fatigue for extended viewing sessions, which is relevant for government operations and simulation environments where operators monitor 3D displays for long periods.

Is this panel landscape only?

Yes. The LX46U 3D G3 is configured for landscape orientation. The passive 3D subsystem is calibrated for horizontal landscape operation. Portrait installation is not supported on this model.

Does the WallDirector software require a dedicated server or control room PC?

No. Leyard WallDirector is a web-based application accessible through a standard browser. It does not require dedicated server hardware or a specialized control room PC, which reduces both upfront cost and ongoing infrastructure management requirements.

Can the G3 LX46U 3D be mixed with G2 panels in the same video wall array?

G3 and G2 off-board electronics are not cross-compatible. Mixing generations in the same video wall array is not recommended. If you are expanding an existing G2 3D installation, consult with your Planar integrator or authorized reseller before purchasing G3 panels.
