Planar MX55HDX-P 55"Clarity Matrix G2 800 nit LCD Video Wall Portrait - 997-8939-00

Product Overview

The Planar Clarity Matrix G2 MX55HDX-P is a 55" Full HD LCD video wall panel in portrait orientation, delivering 800 nit brightness for high-ambient-light commercial environments. With a tiled bezel width as low as 1.7mm and a 24/7 operational rating, this panel is purpose-built for mission-critical video wall deployments. The off-board electronics design reduces installed depth, weight, and thermal output while maximizing uptime. Portrait orientation makes it ideal for retail signage towers, digital menu boards, and vertical display arrays.

Product Description

The Planar Clarity Matrix G2 LCD video wall MX55HDX-P combines commercial-grade performance with portrait-optimized installation. At 800 nits, it outperforms many competing panels in naturally lit or high-ambient environments, maintaining image clarity across the full wall surface. The 1.7mm tiled bezel width—among the narrowest in the industry—ensures tile transitions are virtually invisible to viewers at typical distances.

The Planar EasyAxis Mounting System enables precise 6-axis panel-to-panel alignment and front-service access, reducing installation labor and ongoing maintenance costs. With an installed depth of just 3.6 inches, the MX55HDX-P fits into architecturally constrained wall cavities that prohibit deeper systems. This portrait-configured panel ships as the HDX variant, which does not include the -100 power supply module—ideal for installations supplying external power distribution.
