Planar MGP Complete HD 217” LED Video Wall - 998-2869-00
Product Overview
The Planar MGP Complete HD 217" LED Video Wall (998-2869-00) is a 1.8mm pixel pitch, 6x6 cabinet LED video wall measuring approximately 11.8 feet wide by 6.6 feet tall, delivering Full HD 1920x1080 resolution across a 217-inch diagonal canvas. Built around the Planar MGP LED video wall platform, this packaged solution targets organizations that need a large-format dvLED display system comparable in price to legacy LCD video walls but with the brightness, color saturation, and serviceability advantages of direct view LED. Buyers searching for a Planar MGP LED video wall for corporate lobbies or a budget-accessible large-format fine pitch LED video wall will find this solution ships with everything needed for deployment: display cabinets, WallDirector video controller, signal cables, power cables, wall mount, trim, remote control, and spare LED modules. The S6F controller is included, and the front-serviceable design supports ADA-compliant installation.
Product Description
The Planar MGP Complete Video Wall is positioned as a practical successor to tiled LCD video walls and front-projection systems for organizations seeking modern display technology without the budget constraints historically associated with fine pixel pitch LED. At 1.8mm pixel pitch, the MGP HD 217 provides comfortable viewing from as close as 7 feet, making it appropriate for lobby installations, large conference rooms, and open meeting spaces where viewers may approach at variable distances.
The 27-inch stackable cabinets feature front installation and serviceability, with an install depth of under four inches for ADA compliance and minimal wall clearance requirements. The stackable design removes cabinet-to-cabinet cabling, reducing installation complexity and vertical alignment challenges. The Planar WallDirector Video Controller included in the package manages native resolution output and content windowing. The Planar EverCare Lifetime Warranty covers this solution, providing long-term assurance for mission-critical deployments.
