Overview

The Panasonic TH-86EQ2 is an 86-inch 4K display from the EQ2 Series, built for busy rooms.

It suits boardrooms, lecture halls and lobbies across Doha and beyond. Request a quote.

What the TH-86EQ2 is built to do

The Panasonic TH-86EQ2 is the 86-inch member of the EQ2 Series, a range of professional displays for meeting rooms, classrooms and public spaces. The panel delivers 3840 x 2160 resolution in a 16:9 format, with a typical brightness of 500 cd/m² and a 1200:1 contrast ratio. Response time is 8 ms grey to grey, and viewing angles reach 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically.

The active display area measures 1895.0 x 1065.9 mm, and the unit measures 1929 x 1100 x 96 mm including handles and weighs 50.7 kg. As the largest model in the series, it is the option for a main screen in a boardroom or lecture hall where people sit far from the display, compared with the smaller 43, 50, 55, 65 and 75-inch models.

Readability in bright rooms

Ordinary screens lose their clarity when windows are large or ceiling lights are strong. The TH-86EQ2 pairs its 500 cd/m² panel with an anti-glare surface rated at Haze 25%, which softens reflections of bright light so that slides, spreadsheets and floor plans stay legible from the back row. The bezel is 15.5 mm on all four sides, a detail that matters when several panels are placed side by side.

Connectivity for mixed meeting setups

Video inputs: three HDMI inputs with HDCP 2.2 support, a Mini D-sub 15-pin PC input with audio input, and a USB Type-C port.
USB Type-C: carries display video and charges connected devices at up to about 60W with Power Delivery.
Expansion slot: an SDM-S/SDM-L slot accepts compatible Intel SDM boards, such as the PressIT receiver board or optional 12G-SDI and DIGITAL LINK terminal boards sold separately.
Control: RJ45 LAN with PJLink support, an RS-232C serial port, and compatibility with AMX and Crestron systems.

Where it fits in Qatar

At a private school in Al Wakrah fitting out a new science classroom, an 86-inch panel gives the whole class a clear screen without a projector. In a boardroom in West Bay or Msheireb, the choice between landscape and portrait mounting and the built-in whiteboard annotation help a meeting move from slides to shared mark-up. In a hotel lobby or shopping mall in The Pearl, the built-in USB media player runs 4K content from a memory stick without a PC, and the 18 hours per day operating rating suits long opening hours. A government office in Doha can manage several displays over the network from one desk.

What to plan before installation

At 50.7 kg, the panel needs a wall that can carry its weight and a mount that matches the 600 x 400 mm VESA pattern, with M8 screw holes 20 mm deep. The tilt range is 0 to 20 degrees forward or backward in both orientations, so check the wall and bracket geometry before ordering. The operating range is 0 to 40 degrees C with 20 to 80 percent humidity, non-condensing, up to 1400 m altitude. Outdoor summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45 degrees C, so install the screen in an air-conditioned room away from direct sunlight, and let the SmartRooms Qatar team confirm the room conditions during the free site survey. Power consumption is rated at 580 W, so confirm the circuit capacity and the socket type.

Questions about TH-86EQ2

What is the Panasonic TH-86EQ2 best used for?

The TH-86EQ2 is an 86-inch 4K display for large rooms where many people must read the same screen. Typical uses include boardrooms, lecture halls, reception areas and digital signage in shopping centres. Its 500 cd/m² brightness and Haze 25% anti-glare surface help content stay readable in rooms with strong daylight or ceiling lighting.

How bright is the screen, and will it work in a sunlit room?

The typical brightness is 500 cd/m², and the anti-glare surface reduces reflections from windows and ceiling lights. Direct sunlight on the glass still lowers contrast, so position the screen away from the strongest light source. Glazed meeting rooms in West Bay or Lusail are a common case where this placement matters during the site survey.

Can it be mounted in portrait orientation for wayfinding signage?

Yes. The panel supports landscape and portrait installation, and the tilt range is 0 to 20 degrees forward or backward in either orientation. Portrait mounting suits corridor wayfinding, directory boards in a hospital lobby or menus in a café. Before ordering, check that the wall can carry the unit weight of 50.7 kg and that the bracket matches the VESA pattern.

Which connections does it offer for laptops and conference systems?

It has three HDMI inputs with HDCP 2.2 support, a PC input on a Mini D-sub 15-pin connector with an audio input, and a USB Type-C port that carries video and charges a laptop at up to about 60W. If a camera or speakerphone is fixed in the room, the USB Type-A ports let a PC connected by USB Type-C control those devices.

Does it support a wireless presentation system or extra input boards?

Yes, through its SDM-S/SDM-L slot, which accepts compatible Intel SDM boards. Panasonic lists the PressIT receiver board and optional 12G-SDI and DIGITAL LINK terminal boards, all sold separately. Panasonic cannot guarantee the operation of third-party boards, so state your existing system when requesting a quote to confirm the right board.

Can several screens be managed from one office in a school or ministry?

Yes. The display can be controlled over LAN or RS-232C serial and is compatible with AMX and Crestron systems. SNMP versions 1 to 3 support network monitoring, and the screen monitor function shows the actual output in a web browser. Screen transfer software can distribute images to up to 64 displays over wired LAN, which suits schools with many classrooms.

Does it include speakers and a media player?

It has built-in 20W speakers (10W + 10W), so content with sound plays without external speakers. Content saved on a USB memory stick starts automatically without a PC or set-top box, and 4K content is supported. Some files may not play even in supported formats, so test your files on the display before a full rollout.

How much power does it use, and does it suit Qatar's electricity supply?

Power consumption is rated at 580 W, with about 0.5 W in standby and about 0.3 W when powered off. The power input is rated for AC 110 to 240 V at 50/60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains. A qualified electrician should confirm the socket type and circuit capacity during the site survey before installation.

Will it cope with summer heat in Doha?

The operating range is 0 to 40 degrees C with 20 to 80 percent humidity, non-condensing, up to 1400 m altitude. Outdoor temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45 degrees C in summer, so install the screen in an air-conditioned room and keep it out of direct sun and away from glazed openings. Confirm the room conditions with SmartRooms Qatar during the free site survey.

What room size suits an 86-inch panel?

It suits large rooms where viewers sit several metres from the screen, such as a large boardroom or lecture hall. The active display area is 1895.0 x 1065.9 mm, which you can use to plan viewing distance. For smaller rooms, the 75-inch or 65-inch models in the same series are usually a better fit. Send your room dimensions with the quote request.

What warranty applies, and how can a government entity order?

Products are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Ministries and government authorities can order by purchase order (LPO) or through government tenders, including Monaqasat. SmartRooms Qatar usually issues quotations within one working day, delivers to all 8 municipalities of Qatar, and accepts payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order.
