Today, Leyard Europe, a leading manufacturer of professional digital displays, video walls, and visualisation solutions across Europe, introduced a line of premium 5K resolution 21:9 LCD displays designed to deliver panoramic viewing and enhance productivity. The new Planar® 21by 9 Series builds on the success of the industry leader’s innovation in creative visuals, featuring a cinematic ultra-wide digital canvas that is built to impress and designed to deliver superior visual performance. The product is available to order in Europe from Q3 via Leyard Europe.

The Planar 21by9 Series presents a commercial-grade 24x7 display solution with 81, 94 and 105-inch sizes in 5120x2160 resolution and running native at 120Hz refresh. The premium solution introduces a first-of-its-kind quantum dot Mini-LED backlight coupled with dual-brightness enhancement technology, driving a wide colour gamut reaching 115 percent DCI-P3 colour space, 1,000,000:1 HDR dynamic contrast and peak brightness of up to 2,500 nits. The product line has advanced processing capabilities and up to 2,560 local dimming zones driven by Planar’s proprietary algorithm, achieving VESA DisplayHDR 1400 certification for the highest quality commercial LCD display ever.

The HDR10+ certified displays enhance picture quality and enable more dynamic content presentation. The series is ideally sized for popular unified communications and video collaboration platforms, enabling enterprise Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) management, and is equally suited for lobbies, retail and especially dramatic, private cinema.

“The Planar 21by 9 Series represents the pinnacle of commercial LCD visual quality, combining a cinematic 21:9 canvas with extraordinary colour, brightness, contrast and fast refresh rate to deliver a wow viewing experience,” said Sidney Rittenberg, Chief Executive Officer at Planar. “Designed for customers seeking premium visual performance, the series delivers stunning image realism that transforms how content can captivate enterprise users.”

Planar 21by9 Series comes in precision metal-mesh capacitive touch and non-touch versions. Users can easily manoeuvre floating picture-in-picture in multiple input layouts. The entire line is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which means an installed depth of less than four inches from wall to front of display in any size.
