On July 22, 2011 the Planar d82L with AccessChoice (introduced at InfoComm) was awarded the 2011 rAVe Best of InfoComm Award for Best Killer New App:

"This is an 82" LCD (very well designed aesthetically, by the way) with off-board electronics - native 1080p. Because all the video signal processing and power supply is in an external processor, the 82" is sealed and is only 3.7" deep (amazing for the size of the display). But why the "Killer App" Award? Well, again, displays have become a commodity and any time a monitor manufacturer differentiates, we like that. But, in this case, this is something all display companies need to be looking at -- outboard electronics. It'll make everyone's life easier (installers, clients, the Green police) as you can consolidate power-supplies and cable management. Way to set an example Planar!"
