Planar MX55X-L 55" 1920x1080 LCD Video Wall Display - 998-0138-00

Product Overview

The Planar MX55X-L is a 55-inch Clarity Matrix G3 LCD video wall display engineered for high ambient light environments requiring 800-nit brightness and near-seamless tiled performance. Featuring an ultra-narrow 1.7mm tiled bezel width and Full HD 1920x1080 resolution, this landscape-oriented panel is purpose-built for mission-critical applications including control rooms, emergency operations centers, and high-traffic public spaces. The Clarity Matrix G3 platform introduces next-generation improvements to video processing, installation, and off-board electronics design, delivering 4K input support at 60Hz and advanced multi-source management via Leyard WallDirector Software. Hot-swappable redundant power supplies and n+1 Remote Power Supply architecture ensure continuous operation even during power component failures.

Product Description

The Planar MX55X-L 55-inch Clarity Matrix G3 800-nit video wall panel is the definitive choice for demanding deployments where high ambient light and mission-critical reliability are non-negotiable. At 800 nits, the MX55X-L delivers substantially greater luminance than standard 500-nit video wall panels, making it readable in brightly lit control rooms, transportation hubs, and public venues without sacrificing color accuracy. The 1.7mm tiled bezel width between adjacent panels creates one of the most seamless video wall surfaces available, minimizing viewer distraction in presentation and monitoring environments. Planar Big Picture Plus Video Wall Processing is built into the off-board Video Controller, enabling 4K at 60Hz source scaling across the entire video wall or any section, including Picture-in-Picture (PiP) and multi-window configurations with up to four independent sources per display. Leyard WallDirector Software simplifies configuration with one-button presets, drag-and-drop source management, and centralized health monitoring of all video wall components. The EasyAxis Mounting System achieves an installed depth of just 3.6 inches with perfect panel-to-panel alignment. The Remote Power Supply (RPS) with n+1 hot-swappable redundant power supplies and redundant AC input circuitry ensures the video wall remains operational during power supply failures. Optional Planar ERO protective glass and Fiber Video Extension support additional deployment requirements. SKU 998-0138-00 includes a 3-year limited warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose 800-nit over 500-nit brightness?

800-nit panels are specifically engineered for environments with higher ambient light, such as open-plan control rooms, retail spaces, or transportation hubs. In these settings, 500-nit panels can appear washed out, while 800-nit delivers strong contrast and readability.

What is the tiled bezel width of the MX55X-L?

The MX55X-L achieves a minimum tiled bezel width of 1.7mm between adjacent panels, which is among the narrowest available in the industry for a near-seamless video wall surface.

What does the Remote Power Supply (RPS) do?

The RPS provides n+1 hot-swappable redundant power supplies and redundant AC input circuitry. If a power supply fails, the video wall continues operating uninterrupted until the failed unit can be replaced without downtime.

What video processing capabilities are built in?

The Clarity Matrix G3 off-board Video Controller includes Planar Big Picture Plus processing, supporting 4K at 60Hz scaling across the full video wall or sections, Picture-in-Picture (PiP), and up to four independent sources per display.

Is Leyard WallDirector included with the panel?

Leyard WallDirector Software is designed for use with the Clarity Matrix G3 system. Confirm licensing and software inclusion with your Planar dealer at time of purchase.

What connectivity does the MX55X-L support?

The MX55X-L supports HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2, providing compatibility with 4K sources, 4K Blu-ray, professional AV switchers, and video wall controllers.
