Leyard Launches Planar® Simplicity™ E Series

Leyard Europe has expanded its popular Planar® Simplicity™ Series with the launch of the Planar® Simplicity™ E Series, a next-generation line of large format 4K LCD displays designed for essential digital signage applications including advertising, wayfinding, menu boards, presentations, and emergency messaging.

The new series introduces wireless connectivity through embedded WiFi or Bluetooth®, eliminating the need for additional equipment. In addition to existing 43, 50, 55, 65, 75, and 86-inch models, the Simplicity E Series adds a 98-inch display, all delivering 500 nits of brightness and continuous media playback. The displays are built for 24x7 operation and are ENERGY STAR® certified, offering reliable performance while minimising energy consumption.

"As a leading global end-to-end distributor, we are committed to uniting technology solutions that deliver business outcomes today and unlock growth for the future across our ecosystem," said Desiree Cruz, VP Vendor Management, TD SYNNEX North America. "The Planar Simplicity E Series gives the channel an exclusive opportunity to showcase the high-quality standard of Planar products at an affordable price point and help win more cost-sensitive projects."

The launch highlights Leyard Europe's focus on enhancing its large format LCD solutions with features that combine durability, ease of use, and superior image performance.

"The Simplicity Series remains one of our most popular LCD display lines and with the new Planar Simplicity E Series, we're responding to customer requests for the ability to connect to the network wirelessly," said Cindy McCullough, senior product manager at Planar. "We're proud to present a solution that streamlines the user experience and changes the game for more applications, all while delivering the exceptional visual performance customers expect from Planar."

The Simplicity E Series displays offer mounting flexibility in landscape or portrait orientation, built-in 10-Watt speakers, on/off scheduling, and LAN distribution. The fan-less design ensures quiet operation, while a slim profile mount simplifies installation. Each display includes three HDCP 2.2-compliant HDMI® ports supporting native 4K at up to 60Hz, along with USB, RS-232, and IR control, enabling seamless integration into diverse digital signage environments.

The Planar Simplicity E Series is available to order now and will begin shipping in Q1 2026 through Leyard Europe’s authorised reseller network. The displays will be showcased at ISE 2026 in Barcelona, Stand #3A390, from February 3-6.
