Planar Simplicity P Series SLP65 4K LCD Display, 65in diagonal

Product Overview

The Planar Simplicity P Series SLP65 is a 65-inch 4K UHD non-touch commercial display engineered for continuous 24/7 digital signage deployments. Part number 998-3928-00, it delivers 500-nit brightness from a direct-lit LED-backlit LCD with a metal rear enclosure, slim 2.4-inch depth, ENERGY STAR certification, and ETSI EN 303 645 cybersecurity compliance. The SLP65 is the largest non-touch model in the Simplicity P Series, suited for high-visibility digital signage, wayfinding, and advertising applications where a 65-inch canvas and 24/7 reliability are required without the cost of an integrated touch surface.

Product Description

The SLP65 shares the Simplicity P Series platform but differentiates from the SLP50-T and SLP55-T touch models by omitting the touch glass overlay — enabling 500-nit brightness (versus 400-nit on the touch variants which attenuate output through protective glass). The metal rear enclosure provides improved rigidity and heat management at 65 inches. The proprietary Android 10-based OS with 32 GB of storage supports USB, MicroSD, and cloud-based content playback without an external player. Connectivity includes dual HDMI 2.0 (HDCP 2.2), USB-C, VGA, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, and MicroSD. VESA 400x400mm mounting supports both landscape and portrait configurations. The narrow 10.9mm bezel is logo-free. Built-in 10W x 2 speakers handle audio messaging. HDMI-CEC, RS-232, LAN, IR, and front keypad provide comprehensive control options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the SLP65 show 500-nit brightness when the touch variants (SLP50-T, SLP55-T) show 400 nits?

The SLP65 is a non-touch model and does not have protective touch glass over the panel. Protective glass attenuates light output, which is why the touch variants rate at 400 nits after glass. The SLP65 delivers the panel's native 500-nit output without attenuation.

Does the SLP65 require an external media player?

No. The built-in Android 10-based OS with 32 GB of storage supports local USB, MicroSD, and internal media playback. Cloud-based content delivery is also available via subscription, enabling remote content management over LAN.

What makes the SLP65 more secure than consumer displays?

The SLP65 ships without Wi-Fi, uses SSH for remote access, and is certified to ETSI EN 303 645 — the European cybersecurity standard for IoT devices. These design decisions reduce the network attack surface versus embedded-Wi-Fi consumer displays.

Can the SLP65 be mounted in portrait orientation?

Yes. The SLP65 supports both landscape and portrait orientations using a VESA 400x400mm mount. Portrait orientation is commonly used for wayfinding towers, narrow-format digital posters, and retail end-cap displays.

What is the difference between the SLP65 and the SLP65-T?

The SLP65 is the non-touch variant. An SLP65-T touch model adds projected capacitive touch capability with protective glass but reduces peak brightness to 400 nits. For digital signage applications that do not require touch, the SLP65 provides higher brightness at lower cost.

What warranty does the SLP65 carry?

Planar provides a 3-year Advance Exchange warranty. A replacement unit ships before the defective unit is returned, minimizing downtime for permanent digital signage installations.
