A Planar Systems Case Study
924 Bel Air is the headline-grabbing, $250 million Bel Air mega-mansion that required best-in-class display technology to deliver jaw‑dropping entertainment and digital art experiences throughout the home. To meet the property’s demanding needs — bright Southern California outdoor viewing, ultra‑thin seamless indoor installations and extensive 4K coverage across dozens of rooms — developer Bruce Makowsky turned to Planar Systems, deploying Planar DirectLight LED, Clarity Matrix LCD and Planar UltraRes Series displays.
Planar Systems engineered a multi‑part solution: a 4×4 Clarity Matrix High Bright outdoor video wall mounted on a $2‑million hydraulic lift behind the 85‑foot infinity pool (requiring a 25‑foot deep spiral lift), a 28‑ft × 7‑ft, 2.5mm pitch Planar DirectLight LED wall above a 22‑seat bar, and 56 Planar UltraRes 98‑inch 4K displays distributed through the mansion. The installations delivered daytime-perfect resolution and immersive nighttime outdoor theatre, a seamless sub‑4‑inch indoor profile, deep blacks and crystal clarity — measurable results that helped create the home’s ultimate luxury entertainment experience.
