Planar MX55HDX-V 55"Clarity Matrix G2 800 nit LCD Video Wall VESA - 997-8943-00

Product Overview

The Planar Clarity Matrix G2 MX55HDX-V is a 55" VESA-mount LCD video wall panel engineered for flexible third-party mounting integration in both portrait and landscape configurations. At 800 nit brightness and a 1.7mm–3.7mm tiled bezel width range, it delivers the full Clarity Matrix G2 performance specification while accepting standard VESA mounting hardware from a broad range of third-party suppliers. Designed for 24/7 operation, the MX55HDX-V is favored by integrators who require VESA compatibility for custom structural mount solutions or retrofit projects. It is the VESA-mount complement to the MX55HDX-V-100 volume-pricing variant.

Product Description

The Planar MX55HDX-V (SKU: 997-8943-00) is the standard VESA-mount configuration of the Clarity Matrix G2 55" LCD video wall panel, providing integrators the flexibility to use third-party or custom mounting structures while retaining the full G2 performance platform. VESA compatibility means this panel can be deployed in non-standard architectural environments — curved walls, custom steel fabrications, recessed alcoves — where the Planar EasyAxis proprietary frame cannot be accommodated. At 800 nit brightness, the MX55HDX-V performs in high-ambient-light environments that would wash out lower-brightness competing panels. LED backlighting provides consistent, uniform illumination across the 55" active area at Full HD 1920x1080 resolution. The off-board electronics design removes processing components from behind the panel, enabling an installed depth of just 3.6" — a decisive advantage in shallow-cavity mounting conditions. A single power supply module supports up to eight displays, streamlining multi-panel power distribution in large walls. Built-in video extension to 500 feet eliminates third-party extender dependencies, and Planar WallNet with SNMP provides remote health monitoring across all panels in the array.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the MX55HDX-V and MX55HDX-V-100?

Both panels share the identical VESA-mount Clarity Matrix G2 specification — 800 nit, 1.7mm–3.7mm bezel, off-board electronics. The MX55HDX-V is standard single-unit pricing. The MX55HDX-V-100 reflects volume bundle pricing for larger deployments. Contact Creation Networks to confirm the right SKU for your project size.

Can the VESA mount accommodate both portrait and landscape orientation?

Yes. Unlike the EasyAxis-specific portrait (P) or landscape (L) variants, VESA-mount models can be oriented by the integrator based on the mounting structure design. This flexibility makes the MX55HDX-V the preferred choice for mixed-orientation custom installations.

Is built-in video extension standard on this model?

Yes. All Clarity Matrix G2 panels include built-in video extension supporting cable runs up to 500 feet (150 meters), eliminating the need and cost of third-party HDMI or DVI signal extenders.

How is health monitoring managed across a multi-panel wall?

Planar WallNet software monitors all panels in the array via SNMP, providing real-time status, alert notifications, and remote diagnostics. This allows facilities teams to identify and address panel issues without physical inspection of the wall.

What VESA patterns are supported?

The MX55HDX-V supports standard VESA mounting patterns compatible with commercial video wall installations. Verify the specific VESA hole pattern with Planar's datasheet or contact Creation Networks to confirm compatibility with your planned mounting hardware.
