Planar's experience in the field of display solutions is already quite well-known, the company's wide and diverse lineup also including a line of video wall solutions, called the Clarity Matrix LCD Video Wall System family, that's just been updated with a 55-inch model. According to Planar, the Clarity Matrix 55 enables Full HD, 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution across the entire video wall, while also providing what the company calls the “narrowest image-to-image gap (5.7 mm) and thinnest profile (3.6”/ 93 mm) in the industry”, an advanced LED backlighting system and built-in image processing capabilities, for worry-free operation in all situations.

The Clarity Matrix 55 is accompanied by the EasyAxis Mounting System that enables a seriously enhanced level of front-panel serviceability, behind-screen access and individual screen replacement.

Additionally, the fact that most of the electronics are separate from the displays themselves, while the system also comes with redundant power supplies, makes the Clarity Matrix family one of the most efficient, light and reliable systems of this type around (at least according to what Planar has to say on this topic).

"We’ve experienced significant customer adoption of the Clarity Matrix Video Wall System since we introduced it more than a year ago, and our next wave of innovation demanded larger, higher resolution video walls with even smaller bezels,” said Jennifer Davis, vice president of marketing.

“With the new Clarity Matrix 55, we expand our best-in-class LCD video wall family and continue our leadership in bringing solutions for larger installations and new applications for the technology in public venue digital signage and control room settings,” the company's rep added.

Planar's Clarity Matrix 55 will begin shipping in the second quarter of calendar 2011, but, unfortunately, the company has not provided any significant pricing information for this solution for the time being.
