Recommended Usage

In order to get the most out of your LCD modules, use the following recommended guidelines to optimize the display.

Burn-In Versus Temporary Image Retention

Burn-in causes the screen to retain an image essentially forever, with little or no way to correct the problem. Under normal use, an LCD module will not experience burn-in, as plasma displays do, nor will it retain images in any way.
Normal use of an LCD module is defined as displaying continuously changing video patterns or images. However, LCD modules can experience temporary image retention when recommended usage guidelines are not followed.
What is Temporary Image Retention?
Temporary image retention (TIR) can occur when a static image is displayed continuously for extended periods of time. An electrical charge differential may build up between the electrodes of the liquid crystal, which causes a negative-color video image (color-inverted and brightness-inverted version of the previous image) to be retained when a new image is displayed. This behavior is true for any LCD device from any LCD manufacturer.
Recommended Usage
TIR is not covered under warranty. See standard warranty terms and conditions for
details. Here are some guidelines to help you avoid TIR:
• Use the LCD module to show a screen saver, moving images or still pictures that change regularly. When using high-contrast images, reposition the images frequently.
• Turn off the Planar UltraRes when it is not in use.
Caution: For optimal performance, we suggest turning off the power on the Planar 84”
UltraRes MX for 4 hours per day and 12 hours per day for the Planar 84” UltraRes LX and Planar 98” UltraRes.
Planar UltraRes User Manual 12

Normal Use Thermal Guidelines

Normal use of the LCD module is defined as operating in the open air to prevent heat buildup, and without direct or indirect heat sources such as lighting fixtures, heating ducts, or direct sunlight that can cause the modules to experience high operating temperatures. If the LCD module will be installed in a recessed area with an LCD surround or enclosure, ensure adequate openings are applied for proper air flow and ventilation.
At 3000 meters or below, the maximum ambient operating temperature for the LCD module cannot be above 40º C nor below the minimum ambient operating temperature of 0º C. If one of these conditions exists, it is up to the installer to ensure that module placement is changed, thermal shielding is provided and/or additional ventilation is provided to keep the display within its nominal operating parameters.
Cooling Requirements
For optimal performance, active cooling by the installer should be planned for when the ambient temperature anywhere in the wall is predicted to be above the specified ambient temperature for the display.
Recommended Usage

Using the Display in Flat or Tilted Orientation

The Planar UltraRes is not recommended for use in flat orientation for tabletop, floor,
or ceiling installations. LCD panels of this size are at risk of panel deflection, which can cause cosmetic sagging, brightness uniformity issues, a shortened life span, and malfunction of optional touch sensors. Installations where the display is tilted downward or upward at an angle may also be prone to these issues and are not recommended.
Planar UltraRes User Manual 13

Basic Concept of Planar UltraRes Display

The Planar UltraRes display uses four internal outputs that feed into the display as
one image. You can use any combination of HDMI/DVI or DisplayPort.
There are four main modes of operation for the UltraRes Display:
• Single 4K inputs @ 24/25/30Hz
• Single 4K inputs @ 50/60Hz (HDMI 4:2:0)
• Four-headed input (4K @ 60Hz)
• Two-headed input (4k @ 60Hz)
Using four internal outputs provides the Ultra HD resolution needed for superior image quality. In the following example, each number represents an output. All four
“quadrants” (outputs) are fed into the display and turned into one ultra high-
resolution image.

Installing the Displays

Before installation, keep the following points in mind:
• These displays are heavy. Make sure that you have adequate studs to support the weight of each display if installing on a wall.
• The UltraRes must be installed on a flat surface.
• If you ordered the optional wall mounts, use the supplied UltraRes mounting template for the center point of the display, as well as for top and bottom bracket installation.
• The wall mounts for a landscape and portrait installation look very similar. The process to install them is almost exactly the same. The only difference is the way in which you use the wall mount template. This will be pointed out in the relevant step.
Planar UltraRes User Manual 28

Installing an UltraRes Display on a Wall

Caution: For whatever structure is used to mount the display, be sure that it is sufficiently
engineered to handle the weight of the display. Also be sure to purchase the correct hardware needed to support the display mounted to that structure.
Caution: If the unit being installed is fitted with a touch input device, it is important that the
touch frame is not used to lift the unit. Also, the unit should never be placed on the touch frame to support the unit.
