Planar MX46HDU-V-ERO 46"Clarity Matrix G2 1920x1080 800 nit - 997-9306-00

Product Overview

The Planar MX46HDU-V-ERO is a 46-inch Clarity Matrix G2 LCD video wall panel configured with a VESA-compatible mounting interface and ERO (Extended Ruggedness and Optics) optically bonded glass, delivering 800 nit brightness. The -V designation differentiates this variant from the landscape (-L) and portrait (-P) factory configurations: VESA mounting allows integrators maximum flexibility in selecting third-party mounting hardware, floor stands, or custom fabricated mounts while retaining Planar's ERO surface protection and high brightness performance. This is the integrator-preferred SKU when a non-EasyAxis mounting solution is required. SKU 997-9306-00.

Product Description

The MX46HDU-V-ERO shares the same 46-inch, Full HD, 800 nit LCD panel and ERO glass construction as its -L and -P sibling variants, but replaces the EasyAxis proprietary mounting interface with a standard VESA mount pattern. This enables the panel to be mounted on any VESA-compatible wall bracket, articulating arm, motorized lift, or custom fabricated structure — a critical flexibility for non-standard installations where EasyAxis is mechanically incompatible or where a client already owns a third-party mounting system. ERO glass provides the optically bonded protective surface required for public-contact and touch-enabled applications, eliminating parallax and improving contrast over bare LCD configurations. With 800 nit output and a 3.7mm tiled bezel width, the panel delivers high ambient light performance and near-seamless tiled visual continuity. Four HDMI inputs and one DisplayPort support a range of source infrastructure, and RS-232 serial control integrates with standard AV control systems. Dynamic contrast of 3,500:1 ensures sharp, punchy imagery for both video and still content. EU RoHS certification confirms environmental compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the practical difference between the -V (VESA) and -L (Landscape/EasyAxis) variants of the MX46HDU?

The -L variant uses Planar's proprietary EasyAxis mounting system, which provides the finest panel-to-panel alignment precision and the industry-thinnest 3.6-inch installed depth — ideal when building tiled video wall arrays where alignment is critical. The -V variant uses a standard VESA mount pattern, enabling compatibility with any VESA-rated third-party mount, floor stand, or custom structure. Choose -V when mounting flexibility or an existing mount infrastructure takes priority over EasyAxis precision alignment.

Can the MX46HDU-V-ERO be used in a tiled video wall array?

Yes, but achieving precise panel-to-panel alignment without EasyAxis requires careful selection of third-party mounting hardware with fine adjustment capability. The -V variant is best suited for single-panel or small array installations, or for integrators who can achieve the required alignment tolerances with their chosen mounting solution.

Is this panel compatible with Planar's EasyAxis Mounting System?

No. The -V suffix specifically indicates VESA mounting interface, not EasyAxis. EasyAxis compatibility requires the -L (landscape) or -P (portrait) variants, which have the EasyAxis mounting geometry integrated into the panel chassis. Do not attempt to use EasyAxis hardware with the -V variant.

Does the VESA mounting interface affect the ERO glass or touch performance?

No. The ERO glass is bonded to the panel face and is independent of the rear mounting interface. Touch kit compatibility and ERO optical performance are identical across -L, -P, and -V variants. The only difference is the rear mounting geometry.

What VESA pattern does the MX46HDU-V-ERO use?

Planar specifies the VESA mount pattern for the MX46HDU-V-ERO in the installation guide. For precise VESA hole pattern dimensions, consult the product installation manual or contact Planar technical support before selecting a third-party mount. Verify the mount's weight rating matches or exceeds 58 lbs.
