TH-50SQ3

What the TH-50SQ3 is built for

The Panasonic TH-50SQ3 is a 50-inch class commercial display from the SQ3 Series, with a 3840 x 2160 4K UHD panel. Its 49.50-inch (1257.3 mm) screen uses a 16:9 aspect ratio, which suits rooms where people sit at a fixed distance and need sharp text, charts and video. It is rated for 24 hours a day of operation, so it works in reception areas, corridors and shared spaces as well as meeting rooms.

Picture performance in rooms with daylight

Many meeting rooms and classrooms in Qatar have windows or strong ceiling lighting, and screen reflections are a common complaint. The TH-50SQ3 has a typical brightness of 500 cd/m² and an anti-glare panel with 25% haze, which softens reflected light across the surface. The viewing angle is rated at 178 degrees horizontally and vertically, so people seated at the side of the room still see a usable image. Typical contrast is 5000:1, response time is 9.5 ms grey to grey, and dynamic backlight control adjusts brightness to the incoming signal.

• Resolution: 3840 x 2160, roughly 8,290,000 pixels
• Brightness: 500 cd/m² typical with 25% haze anti-glare panel
• Contrast: 5000:1 typical

Connections, control and stand-alone playback

The display has three HDMI inputs with HDCP 2.2 support, a PC input on a mini D-sub 15-pin connector, a stereo audio input and two RCA audio outputs. A serial RS-232C terminal and a LAN port with PJLink let an AV or IT team switch inputs and power from a room controller or building system. The USB Type-A port plays 4K content from a memory stick without a PC or set-top box. Files must be numbered and placed in a folder named AUTO_PLAYBACK, and still images and video cannot be mixed on the same stick. HDMI-CEC lets basic power on and off follow a connected source device, although the manufacturer notes that control of all devices cannot be guaranteed.

Where it fits across Qatar

A private school in Al Wakrah fitting out new classrooms could use the TH-50SQ3 as a teaching display in a smaller room, where a 50-inch screen is easier to fit than a larger panel. A corporate office in West Bay or Lusail could mount it in a huddle room, connected by HDMI to a video conferencing system so that teams in Doha and abroad see shared content clearly. A clinic in Al Sadd or a retail unit in a shopping mall could loop promotional or information content from a USB stick, relying on the 24-hour rating for continuous use.

Planning the installation

The unit measures 1129 x 649 x 66 mm and weighs approximately 13.5 kg. It has a VESA 400 x 400 mm wall pattern with M6 screws and a 20 mm screw hole depth, and the bezel is 14.9 mm on all four sides. The panel can be installed in landscape or portrait and tilted 0 to 20 degrees forward or backward. Manufacturer notes also cite a tilt of up to 45 degrees for this size, so confirm the bracket and angle with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering. The operating range is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius up to 1400 m, and 0 to 35 degrees Celsius between 1400 m and 2800 m, at 20 to 80% humidity without condensation. Qatar summer temperatures can exceed 45 degrees Celsius, so plan for air-conditioned rooms and confirm any other location before mounting. The input range is 110 to 240 V at 50 or 60 Hz, with about 115 W average power in on mode and 0.5 W in standby. A free site survey helps confirm wall structure, sight lines and cable routes before installation.
