Planar DLPro 1.8B vs Sharp LD-FE193

1.89 mm against 1.9 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.

* Average draw estimated as max ÷ 3; this manufacturer publishes no average figure.

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 7.90 × 4.45 m respectively.

What the numbers say

• Both resolve to about the same density (279,947 and 277,008 pixels per square metre), so pick on weight, power or what your shop already owns rather than on image detail.
• Planar DLPro 1.8B is the lighter rig: 34 kg/m² against 42 kg/m². Across this wall that is 314 kg of difference, 1,338 kg versus 1,652 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
• Planar DLPro 1.8B draws more: 656 W/m² against 183 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 22.8 kW versus 6.4 kW, and 13 versus 3 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
• Both come out at 26 data runs for this wall, though they carry 9 and 9 panels per port respectively.
• Different cabinet formats: 604.8 × 340.2 mm against 608 × 342 mm, so 169 tiles versus 169 for the same wall. Fewer, larger cabinets build faster; smaller ones give finer control over wall dimensions and are easier to handle alone.
