Product Overview
The Planar LX55HDU-V is a 55-inch Clarity Matrix G2 LCD video wall display configured for VESA mounting. Part number 997-9139-00 delivers 1920x1080 Full HD resolution at 500 nit brightness with a 3.7mm tiled bezel gap. The VESA configuration gives AV integrators the flexibility to mount this panel using third-party or custom mounting hardware, accommodating portrait, angled, and non-standard orientations not addressed by the dedicated EasyAxis landscape mount.
Product Description
The LX55HDU-V is the VESA-mount variant of Planar's G2 55-inch Clarity Matrix family, distinct from the LX55HDU-L-100 landscape unit by its mount compatibility. Where the -L variant ships pre-configured with Planar's proprietary EasyAxis landscape system, the -V configuration exposes standard VESA mounting points, enabling integration with third-party wall mounts, portrait orientation builds, angled installations, and custom fabricated support structures. This makes the LX55HDU-V the preferred choice when site constraints or design intent require a mounting solution outside the EasyAxis ecosystem.
The display itself is identical to other LX55HDU G2 models: LED backlight, 3,500:1 dynamic contrast ratio, four HDMI inputs plus one DisplayPort, and a 3.6-inch depth profile. The panel is compatible with Planar's content management and processing ecosystem, and the 500 nit brightness level suits deployment in environments where ambient light is managed. Dynamic contrast and precise color reproduction make the LX55HDU-V appropriate for control room monitoring, digital signage walls, and visualization environments where integrators are building custom mounting solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the LX55HDU-V and the LX55HDU-L-100?
- Both are 55-inch G2 500 nit panels with identical display performance. The LX55HDU-L-100 (997-9140-00) ships with Planar's EasyAxis landscape mounting system pre-installed, optimized for standard horizontal tiled video wall arrays. The LX55HDU-V (997-9139-00) ships with VESA mounting points exposed, giving integrators freedom to use any compatible third-party or custom mount — enabling portrait, angled, or non-standard configurations that the EasyAxis system does not address.
- What VESA pattern does this panel support?
- Contact Creation Networks or refer to the Planar LX55HDU-V installation guide for the exact VESA hole pattern. Planar publishes full dimensional drawings with VESA specifications for integrator use. The 26.9" x 47.8" x 3.6" panel dimensions should be used to plan structural load and mount spacing.
- Can this panel be installed in portrait orientation?
- Yes. The VESA mount compatibility of the LX55HDU-V makes it suitable for portrait installations. Integrators should ensure the third-party mount selected is rated for the panel weight and that the control system sends the appropriate OSD rotation commands via RS-232 or HDMI CEC.
- Does this model include ERO glass?
- No. The LX55HDU-V ships with standard glass. For ERO optically-bonded glass, see the LX55U-L-ERO (998-0230-00), which is a G3 landscape panel with ERO standard.
- Is the LX55HDU-V G2 or G3?
- The LX55HDU-V is a Clarity Matrix G2 product. For G3 architecture with HDMI 2.0, enhanced Big Picture Plus processing, and updated RPS, the G3 equivalent is the LX55X-L (landscape EasyAxis) or the LX55U-L-ERO (ERO glass, landscape).
- What control interfaces are available?
- The LX55HDU-V includes RS-232 serial control for integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and other control systems. HDMI CEC is also supported. This makes it straightforward to incorporate into existing control room automation infrastructure.
