LG LSBF018 vs Planar TVF018

1.88 mm against 1.89 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: 8.40 × 4.72 m and 7.86 × 4.42 m respectively.

What the numbers say

• Both resolve to about the same density (284,444 and 279,947 pixels per square metre), so pick on weight, power or what your shop already owns rather than on image detail.
• Planar TVF018 is the lighter rig: 26 kg/m² against 28 kg/m². Across this wall that is 148 kg of difference, 1,069 kg versus 1,217 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
• Planar TVF018 draws more: 598 W/m² against 510 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 20.2 kW versus 20.8 kW, and 7 versus 13 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
• Data is lighter on Planar TVF018: 26 runs against 28, at 2 and 9 panels per port respectively (60 Hz, 8-bit, ports loaded to 80%). Fewer runs means fewer home runs to pull and fewer processor ports to find.
• Different cabinet formats: 1200 × 675 mm against 604.8 × 340.2 mm, so 49 tiles versus 169 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: 7.1 m for LG LSBF018 against 7.3 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
