Planar MX55HDX-P-100 55" Matrix G2 800 nit LCD Video Wall Portrait - 997-8941-00

Product Overview

The Planar Clarity Matrix G2 MX55HDX-P-100 is a 55" LCD video wall panel configured in portrait orientation for large-scale deployments requiring bold vertical digital canvases. Delivering 800 nit brightness, Full HD 1920x1080 resolution, and a tiled bezel width as narrow as 1.7mm, this panel produces striking portrait video wall surfaces for high-traffic environments. Planar's off-board electronics design reduces the installed depth to just 3.6", making portrait walls practical even in space-constrained locations. Rated for 24/7 mission-critical operation, the MX55HDX-P-100 is the portrait companion to the landscape-configured MX55HDX-L-100.

Product Description

The Planar MX55HDX-P-100 (SKU: 997-8941-00) is a portrait-mount Clarity Matrix G2 panel optimized for volume deployments requiring consistent, reliable portrait-orientation LCD video wall performance. At 800 nit, the panel maintains vivid brightness in environments with overhead fluorescent or natural ambient light — a critical specification for retail, transportation, and public signage portrait walls that must remain readable throughout the day. The 1.7mm–3.7mm tiled bezel width range gives integrators flexibility to achieve near-seamless portrait arrays matched to the visual demands of the project. Full HD 1080p scan format ensures portrait-aspect content is sharp and artifact-free. Planar's EasyAxis Mounting System enables repeatable, tool-assisted panel-to-panel alignment in portrait configuration, reducing labor time on large deployments. Off-board electronics lower per-panel weight and heat output, improving longevity and serviceability — technicians can swap electronics modules without removing panels from the wall. A single power supply module supports up to eight panels, making large portrait arrays logistically simpler to power and maintain. Integrated video extension up to 500 feet eliminates the need and cost of third-party signal extenders in large-venue portrait installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the -P in MX55HDX-P-100 signify?

The -P designates portrait orientation. The panel ships pre-configured with portrait mounting hardware, so the EasyAxis system aligns panels correctly in a vertical array without requiring field reconfiguration of the mounting bracket.

What is the minimum tiled bezel width achievable?

The Clarity Matrix G2 platform supports tiled bezel widths as narrow as 1.7mm, producing one of the most seamless portrait video wall surfaces available in the 55" LCD video wall category.

How does the off-board electronics design benefit portrait installations?

Moving electronics off the display panel reduces panel weight, operating temperature, and the number of serviceable components at the wall. In portrait arrays, lower panel weight simplifies installation and reduces long-term stress on the mounting structure. Electronics modules can be serviced independently without removing panels from the wall.

Does the MX55HDX-P-100 require cable extenders for long cable runs?

No. Built-in video extension supports runs up to 500 feet (150 meters), which covers virtually all single-building portrait wall installations without third-party extenders.

Is this panel suitable for outdoor or semi-outdoor portrait environments?

The standard MX55HDX-P-100 is designed for indoor environments. For installations requiring impact resistance or environmental sealing, Planar offers ERO (optically-bonded glass) variants such as the MX55HDU-V-ERO for added protection.
