TH-65EQ3

A 65-inch 4K display sized for classrooms and meeting rooms

The Panasonic TH-65EQ3 is a 65-inch class display from the EQ3 Series, with a 64.5-inch (1638.9 mm) panel and a 3840 x 2160 resolution. That pixel count is about four times that of a Full-HD screen, so small text, spreadsheets and engineering drawings stay sharp when people sit close to the screen. The 16:9 panel sits in a 1463 x 838 x 69 mm cabinet, a practical main display for a mid-sized meeting room or teaching space.

The EQ3 Series spans 43 to 86-inch models. At 65 inches, the TH-65EQ3 is larger than a huddle-room screen but lighter and easier to mount than the 86-inch option. Typical scenarios in Qatar include:

• A private school in Al Wakrah fitting out new classrooms with one display per room.
• A corporate office in West Bay or Lusail upgrading a boardroom that connects to teams abroad.
• A training centre in Education City equipping lecture rooms with a main screen and several presentation inputs.

Brightness and anti-glare panel for rooms with daylight

Typical brightness is 500 cd/m2 and typical contrast is 1200:1. The panel has an anti-glare surface with 25% haze, which reduces reflections from windows and ceiling lights. Viewing angles are rated at 178 degrees horizontally and vertically, so people seated at the sides of a room still see a readable picture. Dynamic contrast and dynamic backlight control adjust the image to the content on screen. Response time is rated at 8.0 ms (G to G), which suits presentations and video playback.

Connectivity, control and USB playback

Three HDMI inputs with HDCP 2.2 support handle laptops, media players and video sources. A PC input on a Mini D-sub 15-pin connector covers older computers, and a stereo audio input, an audio output and an RF input complete the connections. A USB Type-A port supplies DC 5 V / 2 A and supports USB 2.0.

RS-232C serial control and a LAN port with PJLink support let an AV control system switch inputs and manage power. HDMI-CEC allows basic power functions of connected devices to be operated with the display remote, although the manufacturer notes that control of all devices cannot be guaranteed. Content on a USB memory stick plays without a PC or set-top box. Numbered files stored in a folder named AUTO_PLAYBACK start automatically, and still images and videos cannot be mixed on the same stick.

Planning the installation and environment

The wall-mount pattern is VESA 400 x 400 mm with M8 screws and a 20 mm hole depth. The panel can be set in landscape or portrait, and in landscape it tilts 0 to 20 degrees forward. At approximately 27.1 kg, plan for two people during handling and fixing, and confirm the wall or trolley can carry the load. The 14.9 mm bezel on all four sides keeps the frame slim in multi-screen layouts.

The rated operating temperature is 0 to 40°C up to 1400 m altitude, with 20 to 80% humidity, non-condensing. Qatar summer heat can push poorly cooled rooms above that range, so choose an air-conditioned space away from direct sun and unshaded windows. The rated operating time is 18 hours a day, and the manufacturer describes the series as impact resistant. Power input is AC 110 to 240 V at 50/60 Hz, with power consumption rated at 184 W in the shipping condition.

A site survey before ordering checks wall loading, cable routes, viewing height and sunlight on the screen. To request a quotation for the TH-65EQ3, send your room list and mounting details to SmartRooms Qatar. Quotations are usually issued within one working day.
