Planar vs YES TECH

5 matched panels · 1.89 to 1.9 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 YES TECH overlap on 5 matched pairs between 1.89 and 1.9 mm; outside that band one of them has no comparable panel.
• Planar is the lighter cabinet in 2 of 5 matched pairs, YES TECH in 2, and 1 is within 5%. Across their lineups that is 14 to 34 kg/m² against 16 to 26 kg/m².
• Planar draws less at full white in 1 of 5 matched pairs, YES TECH in 4. Lineups: 330 to 1,200 W/m² against 420 to 700 W/m², which sets the circuit count.
• Cabinet formats: Planar builds in 604.8×340.2, 500×500, 500×1000 mm; YES TECH in 500×500, 1000×500 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 none of its 9 panels by YES TECH; 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, YES TECH 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.
