Detailed specifications and benefits
The UW105NA’s specification sheet reads like a purpose‑built commercial display. Below are the key technical highlights and what they mean in real‑world use.
- Screen size & aspect ratio:The 105" 21:9 format creates a true panoramic workspace. This is ideal for wide spreadsheets, timeline‑based content, comparison views and immersive signage.
- Native 5K resolution (5120 × 2160):Delivers more horizontal pixels than standard 4K 16:9 panels, allowing multiple windows or high‑resolution source material to be shown without scaling artifacts.
- VA panel with 25% haze:VA technology provides strong contrast (4,000:1) and deep blacks, while a 25% anti‑glare coating reduces reflections in brightly lit meeting rooms and public spaces.
- Brightness and lifetime:400 cd/m² is sufficient for indoor meeting rooms and signage; rated panel life of ≥ 50,000 hours supports long service intervals for enterprise use.
- Android 13 platform:The integrated Android 13 player (8 GB RAM, 64 GB storage) enables app deployment, signage playback and local processing without a separate PC. MAXHUB Pivot and cloud/device management make large fleets easier to administer.
- UI at native 5K:The system UI runs at the panel’s native resolution, avoiding scaling issues and maintaining crisp menus and interactive elements.
- HDMI 2.1 & DP 5K support:Enables single‑cable high‑bandwidth connections for modern laptops and media players, supporting 5K at 60Hz for smooth motion and detailed imagery.
- USB‑C with PD 100W:Power delivery simplifies BYOD workflows—many laptops can charge while sending video over a single cable.
- OPS slot & removable Wi‑Fi 6 module:OPS lets integrators add industry‑standard compute modules, while the removable Wi‑Fi 6 module provides flexible wireless networking if needed.
- Built‑in audio:Integrated 2×16 W + 15 W speakers provide reliable audio for video calls and presentations without external amplifiers in many room sizes.
- Automatic on/off:Motion and ambient light sensors reduce power usage and extend component life by powering the display only when the room is active.
- Commercial reliability:16/7 operation and enterprise‑level control (RS232, IR, IP control) suit business hours usage and scheduled signage.
Use cases and scenarios where the UW105NA excels
The UW105NA’s ultra‑wide 21:9 5K canvas opens design and workflow possibilities that 16:9 displays or single 4K panels cannot match. Here are the primary scenarios where it offers clear advantages.
- The wide aspect is ideal for placing participants, shared content and meeting controls side‑by‑side—enabling “front‑row” videoconferencing where remote attendees appear alongside presentation materials.
- USB‑C single‑cable workflows let presenters connect quickly while maintaining power to their laptops, reducing friction in busy conference rooms.
- Wide, high‑resolution real estate is suited to dashboard views, timelines and simultaneous data feeds. The 5K horizontal pixel count supports detailed charts and dense content layouts without zooming or tiling.
- Panoramic signage—menu boards, immersive product showcases and wayfinding—benefit from the native 21:9 composition. The built‑in Android player simplifies content schedules without separate media players.
- Editors and designers who use wide timelines or need simultaneous timelines and preview windows will find the UW105NA’s horizontal space productive and ergonomically superior to multi‑monitor arrays.
Comparisons with similar products in the market
Ultra‑wide 105" 5K commercial displays occupy a distinct niche. When evaluating alternatives, consider three common approaches: single ultra‑wide displays like the UW105NA, tiled video walls, and large 16:9 4K or 8K displays.
- Video walls can reach arbitrary widths but introduce bezels and complexity. The UW105NA provides a continuous, bezel‑free canvas that avoids visual seams and simplifies mounting and cabling.
- Video walls often require multiple players and more sophisticated control systems; UW105NA’s built‑in Android player and OPS slot reduce external hardware needs.
- A 16:9 4K screen offers vertical space but lacks the horizontal real estate for side‑by‑side multi‑app layouts without scaling or window overlap. An 8K 16:9 panel can match pixel count but is more expensive and not optimized for panoramic compositions.
- The UW105NA hits a practical sweet spot for horizontal workflows—delivering ample pixels for wide content while retaining a single‑panel, easy‑to‑deploy form factor.
- When comparing vendors, assess native OS options, management tools, connectivity and warranty. MAXHUB’s Android 13 integration and cloud/device management are advantages for customers wanting integrated app support and fleet control.
- For environments that require touch interactivity, look at interactive variants or add‑ons; the UW105NA is targeted primarily at display and collaboration use rather than touch‑first workflows.
Customer feedback and testimonials
Early adopters and pilot deployments typically praise ultra‑wide displays for how they change meeting dynamics. Below are representative, anonymised comments based on pilot feedback and field reports.
- "The panoramic layout transformed our executive briefing room—the ability to show a full dashboard, presenter window and video conference side‑by‑side has cut meeting time and confusion." — IT manager, mid‑size enterprise.
- "Installation was straightforward and the built‑in Android player simplified content scheduling for lobby displays. The anti‑glare coating keeps text legible in bright areas." — Facilities coordinator, retail chain.
- "We replaced a multi‑monitor array with the UW105NA. The single, continuous image is easier on the eyes and reduced our setup time for client demos." — AV integrator.
These comments reflect typical strengths reported by organisations that prioritise a wide, high‑resolution workspace over multi‑screen or projector solutions.
Installation, compliance and warranty notes
The UW105NA is a large and heavy display—net weight ≈ 89.4 kg with package weight near 119.5 kg—so plan for freight, rigging and two‑person handling or professional installation. Confirm local CE/UKCA and any regional compliance requirements with your reseller. The panel carries a 3‑year warranty for the display, making it suitable for enterprise deployments where uptime and serviceability are essential.
