LG vs Planar

4 matched panels · 1.88 to 1.88 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

• LG and Planar overlap on 4 matched pairs between 1.88 and 1.88 mm; outside that band one of them has no comparable panel.
• LG is the lighter cabinet in 3 of 4 matched pairs, Planar in 0, and 1 is within 5%. Across their lineups that is 25 to 39 kg/m² against 14 to 34 kg/m².
• LG draws less at full white in 0 of 4 matched pairs, Planar in 4. Lineups: 346 to 741 W/m² against 330 to 1,200 W/m², which sets the circuit count.
• Cabinet formats: LG builds in 600×337.5, 1200×675 mm; Planar in 604.8×340.2, 500×500, 500×1000 mm. A shop that already owns one format keeps its bumpers and cases.
• A hanging limit is published for none of its 16 panels by LG and for none of its 31 panels by Planar; 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: LG for none, Planar for 10 of 31.

Matched panels, side by side

Each pair is two panels of comparable pitch, one from each maker, with the same wall built from both.
