Planar will introduce the Luminate Ultra W Series—a high bright, fine pixel pitch LED video wall display solution for outdoor use—at InfoComm 2024. The new solution pairs the latest advancements in LED technology with a 16:9 wide aspect ratio, allowing users to create standard resolution in fine pitch outdoor LED and redefine close-up outdoor viewing of media-rich content.

Planar Luminate Ultra W Series models incorporate MicroLED technology to produce enhanced black levels and high brightness even in direct sunlight. The new solution features models in 1.3mm, 1.6mm, and 2.0mm pixel pitches, which can be configured to match Full HD and Ultra HD resolutions. With up to 3000-nit brightness, the fine pixel pitch LED video wall display supports viewing from as close as 8 ft. in outdoor applications spanning high-end residential, informational signage, retail, hospitality, and sports and entertainment venues.

“Demand for high bright, outdoor LED is here to stay and we’re excited to extend our support in this space with a new state-of-the-art, outdoor-rated fine pixel pitch LED display that not only looks great, but is also built to last and reduces deployment complexity,” said Robert Detwiler, senior director of product management and training at Planar. “The Planar Luminate Ultra W Series combines a 16:9 cabinet layout with narrow pixel pitches and high brightness to transform the presentation of up-close, high-quality video content. This enables more impactful visual experiences that are easier to facilitate in a wider range of use cases.”

The company’s latest outdoor solution also includes the Planar Luminate Ultra W Complete pre-configured LED video wall displays. Available in 115-, 145-, and 173-in. diagonal Full HD resolution and 231-in. diagonal 4K resolution video wall sizes, Planar Luminate Ultra W Complete furthers Planar’s commitment to reduce the time, cost, and complexity of outdoor video wall design and installation—according to the company. The line of off-the-shelf LED video wall displays equips customers with everything needed for effective, hassle-free deployment—including LED display cabinets, spare modules, wall mounts, cables, and a video controller.

Planar says Luminate Ultra W Series customers will benefit from front-service ruggedization with Glue-on-Board (GOB) technology. This results in added durability and a surface that is easy to clean, helping ensure that the product not only stays brighter, but also maintains a stunning appearance long term. The solution is also designed to simplify maintenance, allowing customers to replace individual modules or hardware elements as opposed to the entire display.

The new Planar Luminate Ultra W Series will begin shipping in June through Planar’s global network of authorized resellers; it can be seen at InfoComm 2024 in Booth W945..
