Planar MX55M-L 55" 1920x1080 700 nit LCD Video Wall Display 24/7 - 998-1492-01

Product Overview

The Planar MX55M-L is a 55-inch Full HD LCD video wall display panel from the Clarity Matrix G3 line, delivering 700 nits of brightness, 1.7mm tiled bezel width, and 24/7 mission-critical reliability in a landscape orientation. It builds on the Clarity Matrix G2 foundation with 4K input capability, 10-bit color processing, and Planar Big Picture Plus video wall scaling software. The off-board electronics design and redundant power supply modules ensure maximum uptime for continuous operations environments. Designed for control room, government, and enterprise video wall applications requiring sustained performance and serviceability.

Product Description

The Planar Clarity Matrix G3 MX55M-L video wall panel provides 700-nit brightness across a 55-inch 1080p display with a 1.7mm tiled bezel, enabling tight multi-panel arrays with minimal visual interruption between displays. Planar Big Picture Plus video wall processing scales multiple sources across the full wall or sections of it, supporting 4K inputs and picture-in-picture configurations without external processing hardware. The off-board electronics design keeps heat-generating components in the equipment rack rather than behind the display panels, improving panel thermal stability and reducing the risk of heat-related performance degradation over extended operation. Built-in video extension supports runs of up to 500 feet over cable, eliminating the cost and reliability concerns associated with third-party extenders in large or distributed installations. Redundant power supply modules allow a single unit to drive up to eight displays, cutting rack space requirements and the number of power outlets needed. Planar WallNet software provides health and status monitoring with SNMP support for integration into network management platforms. For secure government deployments, optional fiber video extension over multi-mode or single-mode fiber eliminates EMI exposure and extends the signal path to distances impractical with copper.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the off-board electronics design benefit a long-term video wall installation?

Placing the electronics in a rack instead of behind the display panels reduces thermal stress on the LCD panels, simplifies electronics service without requiring wall access, and allows electronics upgrades without disturbing the mounted display structure.

What does the built-in 500-foot video extension eliminate?

It eliminates the need for third-party signal extenders between the video controller rack and the display panels. This reduces cost, removes additional failure points, and ensures signal integrity over the full specified distance.

Can the MX55M-L be used with ERO-LCD glass?

The base MX55M-L does not include ERO-LCD as standard. ERO-LCD is available as an option on other Clarity Matrix G3 variants. Consult Creation Networks for the appropriate model if ERO protection is required.

What is the maximum video wall size supported by a single power supply module?

A single Clarity Matrix G3 power supply module can drive up to eight display panels, reducing the total number of modules and power outlets required for large video wall installations.

What does WallNet monitoring provide?

Planar WallNet software provides centralized health and status monitoring of all video wall components with SNMP support, enabling integration into standard network management and alerting platforms used by IT and AV operations teams.
