Barco vs Samsung
5 matched panels · 0.953 to 1.588 mm · specifications from both makers' datasheets
The two lineups side by side, then what the matched panels say about weight, power and what each maker publishes. Every figure is the maker's own; the planner adds nothing it cannot point to on a sheet.

Weight and draw are per square metre of cabinet, so different cabinet sizes compare fairly. Ranges run across every panel the maker has in the database, not only the matched ones.
What the sheets say
- Barco and Samsung overlap on 5 matched pairs between 0.953 and 1.588 mm; outside that band one of them has no comparable panel.
- Barco is the lighter cabinet in 0 of 5 matched pairs, Samsung in 5. Across their lineups that is 36 to 40 kg/m² against 21 to 31 kg/m².
- Barco draws less at full white in 1 of 5 matched pairs, Samsung in 4. Lineups: 583 to 917 W/m² against 321 to 772 W/m², which sets the circuit count.
- Cabinet formats: Barco builds in 400×450, 609.92×343.08 mm; Samsung in 480×540, 480×720, 806.4×453.6, 1209.6×680.4 mm. A shop that already owns one format keeps its bumpers and cases.
- A hanging limit is published for none of its 10 panels by Barco and for none of its 12 panels by Samsung; where it is not, the planner uses a conservative placeholder and says so.
- Typical draw is estimated as a third of the maximum where a sheet publishes no figure: Barco for 1 of 10, Samsung for none.
Matched panels, side by side
Each pair is two panels of comparable pitch, one from each maker, with the same wall built from both.
