Planar vs Samsung
13 matched panels · 0.945 to 1.454 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
- Planar and Samsung overlap on 13 matched pairs between 0.945 and 1.454 mm; outside that band one of them has no comparable panel.
- Planar is the lighter cabinet in 3 of 13 matched pairs, Samsung in 9, and 1 is within 5%. Across their lineups that is 14 to 34 kg/m² against 21 to 31 kg/m².
- Planar draws less at full white in 3 of 13 matched pairs, Samsung in 9, and 1 is within 5%. Lineups: 330 to 1,200 W/m² against 321 to 772 W/m², which sets the circuit count.
- Cabinet formats: Planar builds in 604.8×340.2, 500×500, 500×1000 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 31 panels by Planar 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: Planar for 10 of 31, 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.
