Clarity Matrix the most comprehensive line of video wall displays
in the market
Planar Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLNR), a global leader in display
and digital signage technology, today announced two new
ultra-narrow bezel LCD models in its line of Clarity™ Matrix LCD
Video Wall System with G2 Architecture, bringing superior visual
performance to an even wider variety of video wall
applications.

The two new Clarity Matrix with G2 Architecture options include
a 46” model with 800 nits brightness and a 55” model with 500 nits
brightness. The new models feature a tiled bezel width of just
3.7mm (0.15 inches) between adjacent LCD displays for a
near-seamless image. In addition to the new offerings, Planar has
also extended video and power transmission capabilities on its
entire family of Clarity Matrix LCD Video Wall models to support
distances of 500 feet (150 meters).
Earlier this year, Planar set new technological benchmarks with
the introduction of its new G2 Architecture for the Clarity Matrix
LCD Video Wall family, as well as its first LED LCD video wall
model with a tiled bezel width of 3.7mm. Now, with the additional
ultra-narrow bezel models, as well as Planar’s interactive touch
and 3D models, the award-winning Clarity Matrix family of LCD video
wall solutions features the broadest line of ultra-narrow bezel
displays in the industry.
“Customer reaction to Clarity Matrix with G2 Architecture
has been incredibly positive,” said Jennifer Davis, vice president
of marketing at Planar Systems. “The addition of new Clarity Matrix
models with smaller tiled bezel width gives Planar the broadest
product offering in the LCD video wall category and opens up new
applications for our high-performance technology.”
Unique Design Delivers Slim Profile and Mission-Critical
Reliability
Clarity Matrix with G2 Architecture video wall displays are
built for 24/7 reliability in the most mission-critical control
room environments, as well as digital signage.
“The addition of the new thinner bezel 46” and 55” Clarity
Matrix models allows resellers to offer customers more options for
smaller bezel video walls and expands the market for LCD video
walls,” said Bill Apter, senior consultant with Avitecture, Inc.,
an audiovisual integrator in Sterling, Virginia. “The Clarity
Matrix with G2 Architecture system delivers no-compromise visual
performance with superb image quality, perfectly aligned panels,
ultra high resolution and allowed us to reduce installation costs
for our customers.”
The expanded line-up offers even more flexibility to meet a wide
variety of installation challenges. The Clarity Matrix video wall
system design eliminates the need for AC power outlets behind the
displays. With the electronics and power supply off-board, the
weight, depth, heat and potential points of failure can be placed
in a convenient location for easy maintenance. Built-in video
extension capabilities have been expanded so electronics can be
co-located with the source up to 500 feet (150 meters) away from
the video wall. A single remote power supply module can power up to
six displays.
Together, the technological advances and award-winning design of
Clarity Matrix gives customers a comprehensive, cutting-edge video
wall system designed to reduce total-cost-of-ownership.
The new Clarity Matrix MX46HDU and LX55HDU models are available
through Planar’s global network of authorized resellers and will
begin shipping in calendar Q4 2014. Visit Planar’s You Tube channel
