Planar HD 137" DirectLight Pro Series Complete Video Wall

Product Overview

The Planar DirectLight Pro Complete HD 137" (998-4279-00) is a Full HD MicroLED video wall system delivering 1920x1080 output at a 137-inch diagonal, engineered for commercial organizations requiring large-format display performance, front-serviceability, and compliance with both TAA and ADA requirements in a single integrated package. This Planar DirectLight Pro LED video wall operates at 2,000 nits maximum brightness with calibration on — double the output of earlier DirectLight Pro models — providing headroom for environments with higher ambient light levels or where brightness uniformity over time is critical. The complete package includes LED display cabinets, Planar WallDirector Video Controller, wall mounts, trim, signal and power cables, remote control, and spare modules, covering all components for a standard AV integration deployment. The EverCare Lifetime Limited Warranty from Planar applies to North American installations.

Product Description

The HD 137" (model HD137-15MFHD) uses a 1.575mm pixel pitch, targeting conference room and boardroom environments where viewers are typically seated 12 to 20 feet from the display surface. The 9.9-foot wide by 5.6-foot tall display footprint fits the proportions of standard conference room feature walls without requiring architectural modification in most cases. Cabinet electronics and LED modules are front-accessible, allowing module replacement and service without rear wall clearance, an important operational advantage for facilities teams managing equipment in finished interior spaces. The WallDirector Video Controller accepts input resolution up to 3840x2160 at 60Hz via four HDMI 2.0 ports with HDCP 2.2, with full control via IR remote, RS-232, USB, and network interfaces. The 10,000:1 contrast ratio and 3,840Hz LED refresh rate produce smooth motion rendering and high dynamic range imagery across the full display surface. LED panels are rated for 100,000 hours typical lifetime at half brightness, and the system is rated for 24/7 continuous operation.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 2,000 nit brightness compare to standard LED video walls?

Most commercial fine pixel pitch LED video walls in this class are rated at 800 to 1,000 nits. The HD137-15MFHD at 2,000 nits provides significantly more headroom, which is useful in environments with higher ambient light levels such as rooms with large windows, or where the display needs to maintain consistent brightness over years of use without recalibration as LEDs age.

Is this product TAA and ADA compliant?

Yes. The Planar DirectLight Pro Complete HD 137" (998-4279-00) carries both TAA and ADA compliance certifications, qualifying it for U.S. government purchasing programs and installations subject to accessibility requirements.

What is the minimum comfortable viewing distance for 1.575mm pixel pitch?

At 1.575mm pixel pitch, the minimum comfortable viewing distance is approximately 15 to 16 feet for most observers. This makes it well-suited for conference rooms and boardrooms where the nearest seating position is at least 12 to 15 feet from the display. Creation Networks can confirm suitability for your specific room dimensions.

Does the controller support integration with room control systems?

Yes. The WallDirector controller supports RS-232, USB, and network control, enabling integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and other AV control systems. Contact Creation Networks for command set documentation and integration support.

What is the 3,840Hz refresh rate important for?

High LED refresh rate reduces flicker that can appear when the display is captured by cameras or recorded on video. It is particularly important in spaces used for broadcast production, video conferencing with professional cameras, or executive recording environments where display artifacts would be visible in camera feeds.

What warranty coverage applies?

Planar provides the EverCare Lifetime Warranty for North American installations, covering the display hardware for the lifetime of commercial ownership under standard operating conditions.
