The new Planar UltraRes 4K displays provide native ultra–high definition
resolution (3840 x 2160), outstanding image quality and a range of
configurations. Planar UltraRes displays are ideal for professionals in
a wide variety of commercial industries who require a large viewing
area, very high pixel density and enterprise-level features that allow
teams to collaborate around more immersive and detailed visual
information.
“In commercial, academic and government settings there is a large and
growing volume of ultra-high definition computer and video visual
information—along with people making critical decisions based on that
information,” said Steve Seminario, senior director of product marketing
for Planar Systems. “With Planar UltraRes, we’re pleased to be leading
the way for what we expect to be wide adoption of 4K resolution displays
in these professional settings.”
Making the Most of High-Resolution Information
Planar UltraRes 84-inch displays are designed for applications including
energy, geospatial, engineering and design, architecture, aerospace,
control room, collaborative conference room, medical imaging, science,
and digital signage, among others. Whether it’s making a multi-million
dollar energy exploration decision, quickly rerouting electricity to
prevent an outage or producing stunning close-up video for a retail
store, Planar UltraRes 4K displays help businesses get the most impact
from their high resolution information.
“Our pioneering efforts in video wall technology have resulted in Planar
being seen as one of the world’s foremost authorities on 4K,” said
Jennifer Davis, vice president of marketing for Planar Systems. “For
decades Planar has used ultra high definition content and has been a
driving force in display resolutions, going back to our introduction of
the industry’s first 16:9 HD resolution rear-projection video wall
displays. The exciting Planar UltraRes product line is a natural
extension of our leadership in commercial markets and our expertise in
resolutions beyond HD.”
Planar UltraRes ultra HD displays offer the following benefits:
-
Four times the pixel density: Planar UltraRes 4K displays offer
four times the resolution of a full HD display. With a native
resolution of 3840 x 2160, Planar UltraRes displays make it possible
to view the most granular information with stunningly sharp focus.
-
Advanced image quality: Planar UltraRes displays feature
latest-generation LED-lit LCD technology, selectable dynamic contrast
and local dimming for enhanced contrast. Planar UltraRes displays also
support a full 60Hz refresh rate and 10-bit color for an exceedingly
life-like video experience.
-
Advanced industrial design: Planar UltraRes displays provide a
sleek design for both function and style. The displays have a slim
metal bezel, wide range of digital connectivity options and
incorporate failover power supply for 24x7 environments.
-
Innovative mounting system: The Planar Profile™ Mounting System
allows for an extremely slim profile when wall-mounted (about three
inches) and provides a front service access mode. The Planar Profile™
Tiling Kit allows for optimized horizontal tiling of multiple Planar
UltraRes displays and the industry’s narrowest image-to-image gap for
large format 4K displays.
-
Breakthrough energy efficiency: Planar UltraRes displays come
with an advanced energy-efficient design that utilizes edge-lit LED
technology and passive cooling. The displays can automatically switch
to standby mode when no source is detected and consume less than 0.5
watt of standby power. Planar UltraRes displays include no lead or
mercury and are fanless and absolutely quiet.
-
Modular for easy repair: Planar UltraRes displays have
lockable, front service access, providing ease of service without
removing the display from the wall.
