Planar LX55U-V 55"Matrix G3 1920x1080 500 nit LCD video wall VESA - 998-0237-00

Product Overview

The Planar Clarity Matrix G3 LX55U-V (998-0237-00) is a 55-inch 1920x1080 LCD video wall panel configured for landscape orientation with VESA-compatible mounting. It is one of three orientation and mounting variants in the LX55U line, allowing integrators who require VESA-standard rear mounting patterns — rather than Planar's proprietary EasyAxis system — to deploy the full G3 LX video wall platform with third-party structural mounts.

Product Description

The LX55U-V shares the core specification of the Clarity Matrix G3 LX platform — 500 nits brightness, ultra-narrow bezels down to 1.7mm tiled, Big Picture Plus 4K video processing, Leyard WallDirector software, and off-board n+1 hot-swappable redundant power supplies for 24/7 operation — but its key distinction is VESA mounting compatibility. Where the LX55U-L uses Planar's EasyAxis system for the industry-thinnest 3.6-inch installed depth and rapid alignment, the LX55U-V accommodates standard VESA patterns, making it the correct choice when an existing structural mount infrastructure or custom fabrication is already in place and VESA compatibility is a project requirement. Both the LX55U-V and LX55U-L are landscape-format panels; the portrait variant is the LX55U-P (998-0233-00).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the LX55U-V and LX55U-L?

Both are 55-inch landscape G3 LX panels with identical performance specifications. The LX55U-L uses Planar's proprietary EasyAxis Mounting System, achieving the industry's thinnest 3.6-inch installed depth with rapid panel alignment. The LX55U-V uses VESA-compatible rear mounting, making it compatible with third-party structural mounts and custom fabrications where the EasyAxis system is not applicable.

When should I choose the LX55U-V over the LX55U-L?

Choose the LX55U-V when an existing structural mount infrastructure uses VESA patterns, when a project specification requires VESA compatibility, or when a custom fabrication has been designed around standard VESA rear patterns. Choose the LX55U-L when new construction allows use of the EasyAxis system for optimal depth and alignment performance.

Does the LX55U-V support 4K video content on the wall?

Individual panels are 1920x1080. The Clarity Matrix G3 system's Big Picture Plus processing supports 4K at 60Hz signals scaled and distributed across the full video wall canvas.

Is the LX55U-V available with ERO optically-bonded glass?

ERO glass is available as an option. The LX55X model includes ERO as standard. Contact Creation Networks for ERO configuration options on the LX55U-V.

What power redundancy does the LX55U-V provide?

The Clarity Matrix G3 LX off-board Remote Power Supply (RPS) includes n+1 hot-swappable redundant power supplies with redundant AC input circuitry, enabling power supply replacement without display downtime in 24/7 operations.
