Planar Debuts All-In, Lease-based Bundle Program For Its Display Solutions

April 1, 2020 by Dave Haynes

Portland, OR-based digital display company Planar has started marketing a bundled program that puts pretty much everything associated with a visual systems project into one fixed monthly cost.

The Planar  EverNew Managed Service Program lets customers finance the total cost of their projects—including display hardware, software, extended warranties, installation and the Premier Service Level Agreement—under a single contract, as an ongoing monthly payment.

Planar says the program has enough flexibility in it to change as circumstances change, including things like an early lease buyout.

The program, says Planar, makes it easier for cost-conscious companies to budget by turning a large, one-time capital outlay into a smaller, more manageable monthly expense. It also reduces the risk of technology obsolescence, while speeding up the process from decision to installation by eliminating the need for project bids.

Combining Planar EverNew’s flexibility with unparalleled customer support and maintenance, enhances the company’s services and reinforces its leadership in the commercial display market. In addition to demonstrating the company’s commitment to addressing customers’ diverse needs of today and tomorrow, Planar’s new managed service offering also helps ensure that organizations are equipped for effective communications, including every day information sharing and dynamically changing emergency situations.

“Organizations across the globe understand the tremendous benefits of using Planar display solutions, yet for some the cost is prohibitive,” says Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Pro Services Adam Schmidt. “Planar EverNew extends our cutting-edge solutions to a wider range of customers by giving them quick access to the technology they need without having to purchase it outright.”

Planar EverNew offers flexible leasing options between two to six years, ensuring customers have access to Planar display solutions for the length of time needed. At the end of the term, customers can upgrade to the latest Planar displays and begin a new lease, continue leasing their existing solutions at a lower rate or purchase their leased displays at current fair market value.

Every business is a little different, but I’ve certainly run into end-users who have:

The release doesn’t say, but I assume this applies to Planar’s specialized LCD displays as well as the direct view LED product it has via its Chinese parent company Leyard.

  1. Hi Dave,
    Thank you for your kind words and yes, EverNew is available for all Planar products.
    On a personal note, I streamed the first “Quarantine Ceilidh” from Cape Breton this evening, not really the best example digital signage but full of great spirit and music!:)
    Love the Maritimes! Stay safe.
    Warmly,
