Planar LX55U-L 55"G3 Clarity Matrix 1920x1080 500 nit LCD vide wall - 998-0221-00

Product Overview

The Planar Clarity Matrix G3 LX55U-L (998-0221-00) is a 55-inch 1920x1080 LCD video wall panel configured for standard landscape installation using Planar's proprietary EasyAxis Mounting System. It delivers 500 nits of brightness, ultra-narrow 1.7mm minimum tiled bezels, off-board n+1 redundant power supplies, and the full G3 LX platform including Big Picture Plus 4K video processing and Leyard WallDirector software — engineered for 24/7 mission-critical video wall deployments.

Product Description

The LX55U-L is the standard landscape entry point into the Clarity Matrix G3 LX55U line. It uses Planar's EasyAxis Mounting System, which enables an installed depth of just 3.6 inches — the thinnest in the industry — and provides precise panel-to-panel alignment that minimizes installation time and reduces the need for post-installation adjustment. The off-board electronics architecture separates the power supply and processing hardware from the panel itself, reducing thermal load on the display and enabling hot-swap power replacement without taking the video wall offline. Big Picture Plus video processing supports multi-source 4K at 60Hz layouts including Picture-in-Picture and quad-view, controlled through the web-based Leyard WallDirector interface. For installations requiring VESA-compatible third-party mounts, the LX55U-V (998-0237-00) is the appropriate alternative. For portrait-format video walls, the LX55U-P (998-0233-00) is factory-configured for vertical deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes the LX55U-L from the LX55U-V and LX55U-P?

All three share the same 55-inch G3 LX panel and core specifications. The LX55U-L uses Planar's EasyAxis Mounting System for the industry's thinnest 3.6-inch installed depth and optimized alignment in new landscape installations. The LX55U-V uses VESA-compatible mounting for projects requiring third-party mount integration. The LX55U-P is factory-configured for portrait-orientation deployments.

What is the EasyAxis Mounting System?

EasyAxis is Planar's proprietary mounting system for Clarity Matrix video walls. It achieves a 3.6-inch installed depth — the thinnest in the industry — and provides precision panel-to-panel alignment guides that reduce installation labor and minimize the gap variance between adjacent panels.

Can the power supply be replaced without taking the video wall offline?

Yes. The off-board Remote Power Supply (RPS) features n+1 hot-swappable redundant power supplies. A failed power supply can be replaced in the field without powering down the display panels, maintaining 24/7 operational continuity.

Does the LX55U-L support 4K content?

Individual panels are 1920x1080. The Clarity Matrix G3 Big Picture Plus video processing system supports 4K at 60Hz signals scaled and distributed across the full wall canvas, including quad-view and Picture-in-Picture layouts.

Is the LX55U-L available with protective ERO glass?

ERO (Extended Ruggedness and Optics) optically-bonded glass is available as an option. The LX55X (998-1327-00) includes ERO as standard and achieves a narrower 0.88mm minimum bezel. Contact Creation Networks for ERO configuration pricing.

What software is used to manage the video wall?

Leyard WallDirector is included — a web-based software tool for configuring panel layouts, dragging and dropping sources onto the wall canvas, recalling preset configurations, and monitoring the health status of all connected video wall components.
