Planar DLPro 1.8M20 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.

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 1.8M20 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 1.8M20 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.
