Which is lighter, Absen PL3.9 XL V10 or Planar CLI3.9S?

Planar CLI3.9S is the lighter rig: 17 kg/m² against 25 kg/m². Across this wall that is 389 kg of difference — 819 kg versus 1,208 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.

Which draws more power?

Planar CLI3.9S draws more: 800 W/m² against 540 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 21.6 kW versus 28.8 kW, and 8 versus 16 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.

Which resolves finer?

Both resolve to about the same density — 65,536 and 65,536 pixels per square metre — so pick on weight, power or what your shop already owns rather than on image detail.

Absen PL3.9 XL V10 vs Planar CLI3.9S

3.9 mm against 3.9 mm · specifications from both manufacturers' datasheets

Side-by-side specifications, then the same wall built from each tile — so the comparison is in panels, kilograms, circuits and data runs rather than in marketing copy.

Whole cabinets rarely hit an identical size, so each wall is the closest build to a real video format (16:9 or 16:10) near 8 m wide for that tile — 8.00 × 5.00 m and 8.00 × 4.50 m respectively.

What the numbers say

Both resolve to about the same density — 65,536 and 65,536 pixels per square metre — so pick on weight, power or what your shop already owns rather than on image detail.
Planar CLI3.9S is the lighter rig: 17 kg/m² against 25 kg/m². Across this wall that is 389 kg of difference — 819 kg versus 1,208 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
Planar CLI3.9S draws more: 800 W/m² against 540 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 21.6 kW versus 28.8 kW, and 8 versus 16 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
Both come out at 6 data runs for this wall, though they carry 15 and 31 panels per port respectively.
Different cabinet formats: 500 × 1000 mm against 500 × 500 mm, so 80 tiles versus 144 for the same wall. Fewer, larger cabinets build faster; smaller ones give finer control over wall dimensions and are easier to handle alone.
Estimated truck space: 4.4 m for Absen PL3.9 XL V10 against 5.8 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
