Panasonic TH-98SQE2W - 98 inch - 500 cd/m² - 4K - Ultra-HD - 3840x2160 pixels - 24/7 - SDM slot - Android - Display

The Panasonic TH-98SQE2W is a 4K display from the standard SQE2 series and offers high image quality as well as outstanding reliability with 24-hour operating time for businesses, educational institutions and retail. With a screen diagonal of 98 inches, you can experience your digital content with a brightness of 500 cd/m² and an Ultra HD resolution of 3840x2160 pixels. Equipped with the Android™ OS operating system, you can also access apps without an external device. In addition, the Panasonic TH-98SQE2W is equipped with Wi-Fi functionality for wireless transmission. Panasonic also makes it easier for you to use the TH-98SQE2W with digital signage thanks to the compatible HTML 5 browser. In terms of connections, you get four HDMI™ ports, one USB-C port, three USB-A ports, one DisplayPort port and an Intel® SDM slot. Install the display in both portrait and landscape format including 20° tilt.

Flexible mounting options for displaying your data

The Panasonic TH-98SQE2W is a reliable model that is extremely flexible in terms of location and mounting. Install the display in landscape or portrait format or utilise the TH-98SQE2W's tilt option. You can tilt the display forwards and backwards by 20°, both in landscape and portrait mode. This guarantees good readability when it is mounted higher, for example. Panasonic uses very robust components in the SQE2 series, which are required for professional use, so that the TH-98SQE2W can be installed vertically. The service life of the panels is not affected when they are installed vertically. The display is therefore ideal for locations where information is constantly being transmitted, such as signage at entrances. 

Outstanding image quality thanks to 4K UHD resolution and ADS panel technology

The TH-98SQE2W 4K display is an excellent choice for meeting rooms where images are often viewed at close range. It also creates an impressive ambience in signage applications for commercial facilities. With a brightness of 500 cd/m², the Panasonic TH-98SQE2W is suitable for rooms with normal brightness. Basically, you can use the display with this brightness value optimally in 90% of all meeting and conference rooms, as long as it is not installed in front of a huge window front. This brightness value is also more than sufficient in retail and store areas, provided the sun is not shining directly on the display. The ultra-high 4K UHD resolution with 3840 x 2160 pixels offers you high-quality images. An ADS panel has also been installed in the display. In contrast to IPS technology, the ADS structure uses transverse and longitudinal electric fields for the parallel movement of liquid crystals. ADS also utilises the luminous flux more efficiently thanks to the indium tin oxide used. This material is very durable and reliable, improves colour rendering, increases viewing angles and has a very high light transmittance, which increases screen brightness. In addition, the 100% transparency allowed developers to place controls on the crystalline film. The lack of an additional protective coating increases the viewing angles by several degrees. The Panasonic display has a contrast ratio of 1200:1. You also have the option of selecting the most suitable mode (signage, natural, text, game, sport) for your content and display environment.

Prevent reflections thanks to anti-glare

The Panasonic TH-98SQE2W has an anti-glare coating and a high haze value of 25% to minimise unwanted reflections. This reduces the reflection of ambient light and improves visibility. This makes the display ideal for use in bright conference rooms, educational institutions, retail and shopping centres. In combination with the 24/7 runtime release, you get a robust display that promises you a long service life. 

USB media player, Android™ OS content & Intel® SDM slot

Play your content on the TH-98SQE2W via a USB storage device. Simply insert your USB device into the USB slot provided on the display and your pictures, videos or entire playlists will be played automatically. With the content management software, you can easily create playlists with media support, including combinations of still and video images. You can set up schedules to play and stop your media playlist at predefined dates and times. You can then synchronise and transfer these schedules to a USB storage device or via your LAN connection. You don't even need to buy any paid software for your playlists, as you can download the content management software free of charge from the Panasonic website. The Android operating system is already integrated in the SQE2 series from Panasonic. By installing the apk file via USB or network, digital signage can be operated without an STB or PC. The Google Play Store is not supported. The SQE2 series is equipped with the Intel® SDM specification slot standard (corresponding size SDM-S / SDM-L, supply power 66W), which supports 4K signals. In combination with the interface board*, you can easily use a built-in PC and add various interfaces.

_{*Intel® SDM-specified third-party function boards are available separately. Panasonic cannot guarantee the operation of third party devices. The transmission method to the slot must be via an HDMI™ signal.}

The TH-98SQE2W is an optimal conference room solution

The TH-98SQE2W is equipped with four HDMI video inputs so that you can easily connect external devices. Use the large number of HDMI connections to connect presentation solutions, video conference cameras, various players or your laptop, for example. In addition, the TH-98SQE2W display also offers a USB-C interface (15 W) that you can use to connect your mobile devices. The display of your content in 4K, data transfer and charging of the connected devices can be done simultaneously via a single cable with the USB-C connection. In addition, the display can shine with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth using the dongle included in the scope of delivery and can thus ensure wireless transmission with a PC. Display internet-based information and switch speakers smoothly during a meeting. The SQE2 series has the HTML5 browser pre-installed, allowing you to play adverts without the need for an external device. 

Variety of connections for more flexibility

The TH-98SQE2W has a wide range of connections: In addition to the aforementioned four HDMI ports and the USB-C input, the display also has three USB ports (1x USB-A 3.0, 2x USB-A 2.0). This allows you to connect multiple devices for the next meeting in the meeting room. The display also has four integrated 6-watt speakers (24 watts total output), so you don't need external speakers, which is particularly useful when installing a large display in confined spaces. However, you can of course still connect external speakers. The audio output with 3.5 mm jack connection is also an advantage if you want to connect a microphone to the display or pass the audio signal through to a public address system. The TH-98SQE2W has an optional microSD slot so that you can insert a microSD/SDHC/SDXC card with a maximum capacity of 1 TB. 

Control and management 

You can control the TH-98SQE2W and several devices simultaneously and integrate them into your existing system via a LAN connection. Panasonic also offers the Multi-Monitoring & Control software, with which you can control your displays and peripheral devices on the intranet. This can be expanded with additional functions such as the display of error messages or improved maintenance measures - but at a cost. In principle, however, the basic control functions are also sufficient. As a bonus, this display also has the cloning function, which makes it easier for you to set up several displays. If you install more than one TH-98SQE2W, you can use the cloning function to use a USB storage device to transfer the respective settings of a higher-level display to other devices. And that saves a lot of time!

On the subject of longevity, Panasonic gives you a 3-year advance device replacement guarantee on the TH-98SQE2W
