Product Overview

The Planar URW105 is a commercial-grade 105-inch 5K 21:9 ultra-wide LCD display purpose-built for unified communications platforms, large-format video collaboration, and digital signage environments where panoramic screen width is a functional requirement. With native 5120 x 2160 resolution, 500 nits brightness, HDR10 compatibility, and 24/7 duty cycle, it delivers cinema-ratio immersion in corporate and institutional settings. TAA-compliant with no wireless function or open-source OS, it is also appropriate for secure government applications. Crestron and Q-SYS control system modules are supported natively.

Product Description

The Planar URW105 (SKU: 998-3424-00) is a 105-inch 21:9 ultra-wide display with 5K (5120 x 2160) native resolution, making it one of the largest commercially available single-panel ultra-wide displays for AV environments. Its 21:9 aspect ratio is natively compatible with Microsoft Teams Front Row layout and similar unified communications platform configurations, providing a continuous panoramic canvas that spans from camera to content without cropping. At 500 nits and 1200:1 static contrast ratio with HDR10 support and 10-bit color depth (1.07 billion colors), content quality meets the demands of executive collaboration and creative production environments.

Connectivity includes 2x DisplayPort 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.1, 1x USB-C, and 4x USB-A ports with an OPS expansion slot for added compute module support. Built-in 15W stereo speakers, TOSLINK optical audio output, and 3.5mm audio output handle audio without external hardware in typical deployment scenarios. Dual layout and picture-in-picture allow simultaneous two-source viewing. Built-in scheduling, ambient light sensor, and browser-based remote monitoring software provide administrative control for multi-site deployments. Fanless design and 24/7 duty cycle make it appropriate for continuous operation in mission-critical environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a 21:9 aspect ratio beneficial for collaboration rooms?

The 21:9 aspect ratio maps directly to unified communications platform layouts such as Microsoft Teams Front Row, which places the camera feed and content side by side. A 16:9 display forces content cropping or scaling; the URW105 displays both at native resolution simultaneously without compromise.

Is the URW105 suitable for government use?

Yes. The URW105 is TAA-compliant and has no wireless functionality or open-source operating system, making it appropriate for secure government and federal agency deployments where wireless-capable endpoints are prohibited.

Does the URW105 support Crestron and Q-SYS control systems?

Yes. Crestron modules and Q-SYS plugins are available, enabling direct integration with building AV control systems and reducing programming time for system integrators.

Can the URW105 display two sources simultaneously?

Yes. The URW105 supports dual layout and picture-in-picture (PIP), enabling two input sources to be displayed side by side or as an overlay.

What is the native resolution of the URW105?

The URW105 has a native 5K resolution of 5120 x 2160 pixels across its 21:9 ultra-wide panel, offering substantially more horizontal pixel real estate than a standard 4K 16:9 display.

Does the URW105 include built-in audio?

Yes. Two 15W stereo speakers are built in, along with TOSLINK optical and 3.5mm audio outputs for external system integration when needed.
