Planar vs Unilumin
16 matched panels · 0.945 to 2.52 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 Unilumin overlap on 16 matched pairs between 0.945 and 2.52 mm; outside that band one of them has no comparable panel.
- Planar is the lighter cabinet in 10 of 16 matched pairs, Unilumin in 0, and 6 are within 5%. Across their lineups that is 14 to 34 kg/m² against 31 to 36 kg/m².
- Planar draws less at full white in 10 of 16 matched pairs, Unilumin in 4, and 2 are within 5%. Lineups: 330 to 1,200 W/m² against 382 to 717 W/m², which sets the circuit count.
- Cabinet formats: Planar builds in 604.8×340.2, 500×500, 500×1000 mm; Unilumin in 609.92×343.08, 500×500 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 10 of its 11 panels by Unilumin; 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, Unilumin 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.
