High Bright, Fine Pitch Outdoor LED Video Walls for Direct Sunlight
The popular Planar ® Luminate ™ Ultra Series line of outdoor LED video wall displays is designed to bring to outdoor environments the same level of image detail historically reserved for indoor spaces. In addition to up to 3,500-nit brightness and support for viewing as close as seven feet, the series features models in 1.2, 1.5 and 1.9 millimeter pixel pitches, including the finest outdoor pixel pitch available.
