Planar DLPro 1.2B vs Samsung IW012C

1.26 mm against 1.26 mm · specifications from both manufacturers' datasheets

Side-by-side specifications, then the same wall built from each tile, so the comparison is in panels, kilograms, circuits and data runs rather than in marketing copy.

Whole cabinets rarely hit an identical size, so each wall is the closest build to a real video format (16:9 or 16:10) near 8 m wide for that tile: 7.86 × 4.42 m and 8.06 × 4.54 m respectively.

What the numbers say

Both resolve to about the same density (629,882 and 629,882 pixels per square metre), so pick on weight, power or what your shop already owns rather than on image detail.
Samsung IW012C is the lighter rig: 31 kg/m² against 34 kg/m². Across this wall that is 73 kg of difference, 1,265 kg versus 1,338 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
Planar DLPro 1.2B draws more: 656 W/m² against 410 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 22.8 kW versus 15 kW, and 13 versus 10 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
Data is lighter on Samsung IW012C: 50 runs against 52, at 4 and 2 panels per port respectively (60 Hz, 8-bit, ports loaded to 80%). Fewer runs means fewer home runs to pull and fewer processor ports to find.
Different cabinet formats: 604.8 × 340.2 mm against 806.4 × 453.6 mm, so 169 tiles versus 100 for the same wall. Fewer, larger cabinets build faster; smaller ones give finer control over wall dimensions and are easier to handle alone.

Comparing something else, or your own OEM tile? The comparison tool takes any panels, up to four at once, at your wall size. Add your own spec once in the calculator and it appears there alongside the catalogue.
