Product Description

The SLP50-T is the 50-inch touch variant of the Simplicity P Series, sharing the same core platform as the SLP55-T but in a smaller form factor. Its proprietary Android 10-based OS with 32 GB of internal storage enables local media playback from USB and MicroSD without an external player. Cloud-based content management is available via subscription. The 20-point PCAP touch surface (Windows 10/11, macOS, Linux compatible) connects via USB-C or USB-B. Connectivity includes dual HDMI 2.0 (HDCP 2.2), USB-C, VGA, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, and MicroSD. Control spans IR, RS-232, LAN, HDMI-CEC, and front keypad. The fanless design eliminates mechanical failure points and ensures silent operation in quiet environments such as libraries, galleries, and medical waiting areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SLP50-T and the SLP55-T?

The SLP50-T and SLP55-T are identical in platform and features. The primary difference is screen size: 50-inch versus 55-inch diagonal. The SLP50-T uses a VESA 200x200mm pattern versus 300x300mm on the SLP55-T, and consumes 100W versus 145W typical. Choose the SLP50-T where space constraints favor a 50-inch footprint.

Does the SLP50-T support stylus input?

Yes. The SLP50-T ships with a 3mm tip passive stylus for fine-point interaction. Active stylus accessories are not supported by the PCAP technology used in this display.

Can the SLP50-T play media without a network connection?

Yes. The display supports local playback from USB drives and MicroSD cards via its built-in Android 10-based OS. A network connection is not required for local media playback.

What cybersecurity features does the SLP50-T have?

The SLP50-T ships without Wi-Fi, uses SSH protocol for secure remote access, and is certified to ETSI EN 303 645. These measures reduce the attack surface for networked commercial installations.

Is portrait mounting supported?

Yes. The SLP50-T supports both landscape and portrait orientations using standard VESA 200x200mm mounts. Portrait mode is used in wayfinding towers, retail pole-mount kiosks, and narrow corridor installations.

What is the warranty coverage?

Planar provides a 3-year Advance Exchange warranty. A replacement unit is shipped before the defective unit is returned, minimizing installation downtime.
