“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,” says 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.”

Planar notes that Luminate Ultra W Series customers also 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 the products not only stays brighter, but also maintain their long-term appearance. The solution is also designed to simplify maintenance, allowing integrators to replace individual modules or hardware elements as opposed to the entire display.
The new Planar Luminate Ultra W Series joins the Planar Luminate Ultra Series and Planar Luminate Pro Series, bolstering the company’s portfolio of IP65 rated outdoor LED displays that incorporate LED treatments designed to endure the weather, including protection from ultraviolet rays, dust and water. The new Planar Luminate Ultra W Series will begin shipping in June.
