Planar MX46HDX-L-100 46" Matrix G2 1920x1080 800 nit landscape only - 997-9387-00

Product Overview

The Planar MX46HDX-L-100 is a 46-inch Clarity Matrix G2 LCD video wall panel rated at 800 nit brightness, designed exclusively for landscape-orientation fixed installations without ERO glass. The -100 designation in the model number indicates a 100-unit quantity configuration, while -L specifies landscape-only mounting — this panel is not rated for portrait or alternate orientations. Delivering 800 nit output and industry-leading tiled bezel widths between 1.7mm and 3.7mm, it is engineered for demanding 24/7 mission-critical environments where high brightness is required and physical touch protection is not. SKU 997-9387-00.

Product Description

The MX46HDX-L-100 delivers the full 800 nit performance of the Clarity Matrix MX platform in a landscape-only configuration, without the ERO glass overlay present on -ERO suffix variants. Removing ERO glass reduces installation complexity and cost while maintaining maximum optical performance for applications where panel contact or high-traffic use is not a concern — such as control rooms, dispatch centers, and dedicated visualization spaces with restricted access. The 1.7mm to 3.7mm tiled bezel range makes this panel one of the industry's most seamless options for landscape video wall arrays. LED backlight technology ensures consistent brightness uniformity and a long backlight life across the panel's 24/7 operational lifecycle. The off-board electronics design — where the Video Controller and power supply are housed externally rather than behind the panel — reduces panel depth, heat generation, and failure points at the display level. EasyAxis Mounting System achieves 3.6 inches installed depth with fine panel-to-panel alignment adjustment for a visually seamless result. Full HD 1920x1080 resolution per panel scales linearly across tiled arrays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the MX46HDX-L-100 over the ERO variant MX46HDU-L-ERO?

The MX46HDX-L-100 omits ERO glass, making it the choice when physical touch protection, ruggedness for public contact, and anti-reflection bonding are not required. In controlled-access environments like control rooms and trading floors, ERO glass adds cost without providing additional benefit. The non-ERO variant can also achieve a narrower tiled bezel — down to 1.7mm versus 3.7mm on ERO models — for a more seamless visual result.

What does landscape-only mean — can the panel be mounted at an angle?

Landscape-only means the panel is factory-configured, thermally validated, and warranty-supported only in horizontal landscape orientation. Mounting the panel in portrait, diagonal, or non-standard orientations voids the thermal design assumptions and the warranty. Installers requiring portrait-oriented 46-inch G2 panels should specify the MX46HDU-P-ERO.

Is a Video Controller included with this panel?

No. Like all Clarity Matrix panels, the MX46HDX-L-100 uses an off-board Video Controller and Remote Power Supply sold separately. The off-board architecture is a design feature, not a cost reduction — it keeps display panels slim, cool, and easily serviceable without requiring wall disassembly to access electronics.

What is the -100 in the model number?

The -100 suffix in MX46HDX-L-100 designates the specific SKU configuration for this variant, typically corresponding to a specific bundle or quantity configuration established by Planar. Always quote the full part number 997-9387-00 when ordering to ensure the correct configuration is supplied.

How does 800 nit brightness compare to standard commercial displays?

Standard commercial displays for office and conference room use typically deliver 350 to 500 nit. At 800 nit, the MX46HDX-L-100 is classified as a high-brightness panel, maintaining clear visibility in environments where overhead lighting, windows, or strong task lighting would wash out a 500 nit display. This is the specification recommended for retail, transit, and control room environments with ambient light challenges.
