Three HDMI inputs, a USB-C port with up to 60 W power delivery and an Intel SDM slot suit boardrooms and retail floors across Doha. At 70.0 kg, it needs a site survey before wall mounting.

A 98-inch 4K panel for large rooms and continuous operation

The Panasonic TH-98SQ2H is the largest model in the SQ2H family, with a 98-inch class panel and a native resolution of 3840 x 2160. Typical brightness of 700 cd/m² and a contrast ratio of 1200:1 keep text and charts readable in rooms with daylight or strong overhead lighting. The display is rated for 24 hours a day of operation, which suits public areas that keep content running through opening hours.

Panel and viewing quality that matter at this size

The anti-glare surface, rated at Haze 25 %, scatters reflections from windows and ceiling fittings, so the picture stays clear for people sitting off-axis. Viewing angles reach 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically. At roughly 8.29 million pixels, the screen carries about four times the detail of a Full HD display, which helps when several people stand close to read a shared spreadsheet or fine print.

Connections for meetings, presentations and signage

The terminal set includes three HDMI inputs with HDCP2.2 support, a PC input on a mini D-sub 15-pin connector and a USB Type-C input that accepts DP Alt Mode and can deliver up to 60 W to a connected laptop or PC. Two USB Type-A ports, an RS-232C serial port, an RJ45 LAN port compatible with PJLink and IR input and output complete the list. The Intel SDM slot accepts SDM-S and SDM-L modules for a built-in PC or extra interfaces, but when the USB-C port powers a PC, the slot cannot be used at the same time.

Where it fits in Qatar

In a boardroom in West Bay or Lusail, a 98-inch screen lets a leadership team review shared documents with colleagues in Doha and abroad, and the 20 W built-in speakers (10 W + 10 W) play presentation audio without external speakers. In a training centre in Education City, the panel can serve a large lecture room where students sit at the back, and an SDM module can add a PC for demonstrations. In a retail unit inside a Doha mall, the USB media player plays 4K content from a memory stick with no PC on site, and the portrait setting suits vertical signage.

The manufacturer data we hold does not list an operating temperature range for this model, so we will not assume one. Before we quote, tell us whether the screen sits near a window, in a lobby with a glass frontage or in a room without air conditioning, and our team will confirm the environment with you. A free site survey checks the wall, the viewing distance and the access route for a panel this size. Schools ordering several units can raise a purchase order (LPO), and we deliver to all eight municipalities of Qatar. Products are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Request a quote and we usually respond within one working day.

Questions about TH-98SQ2H

Who is the Panasonic TH-98SQ2H designed for?

It suits organisations that need a very large screen for many viewers, such as boardrooms, training rooms and lobby signage. The 98-inch class panel and 700 cd/m² typical brightness make content readable in lit spaces, and it is rated for 24 hours a day of operation. Smaller rooms usually need a smaller model from the same series, which we can compare with you when you request a quote.

Can this display run 24 hours a day in a shopping mall?

Yes, the manufacturer data rates it for 24 hours a day operation, which suits malls, airports and transport hubs. Panasonic advises showing moving images for long periods, because a still image left on screen for hours can leave image retention that fades only when moving content plays. For a mall in Doha, plan a looping playlist of moving content and confirm the schedule with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering.

Will sunlight from a window make the picture hard to read?

The panel has an anti-glare surface with Haze 25 %, which diffuses light from the sun and room lighting, and a typical brightness of 700 cd/m². Panasonic notes it can be used next to a window in a classroom or conference room. In an office in Lusail with a large glazed wall, we recommend a site survey to decide where the screen sits relative to the glare.

What wall structure does a 98-inch panel need?

The panel measures 2194 x 1256 x 90 mm and weighs 70.0 kg, with a VESA pattern of 600 x 400 mm using M8 fixings. The wall or mounting frame must carry that weight safely. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to check the wall, the access route and the viewing height before professional installation, which matters especially in older buildings in Doha.

Which inputs does it have for laptops and video conferencing?

It has three HDMI inputs with HDCP2.2 support, a mini D-sub 15-pin PC input and a USB Type-C input with DP Alt Mode. The USB-C port can supply up to 60 W to a connected PC, so a presenter can charge a laptop while sharing. Two USB Type-A ports, RS-232C and LAN are also fitted. When USB-C powers a PC, the Intel SDM slot cannot be used at the same time.

Does it need external speakers for presentations or signage?

No, it has 20 W built-in speakers made up of two 10 W units. That covers presentation audio and signage playback in a room without extra speakers, which saves space on a crowded wall. A school hall in Al Rayyan can use the built-in audio for announcements, though a large venue with a wide audience may still need external speakers.

Can we play signage from a USB stick without a PC?

Yes. The display includes a 4K compatible USB media player, so inserting a USB memory stick with saved content starts playback automatically. This suits a hotel lobby in West Bay that updates welcome content each week. Some files may not play even if the format is supported, so the operation manual lists the restrictions. Content can also be switched over LAN, using free Multi Monitoring and Control Software.

How is it managed over the IT network?

The display can be controlled through its RJ45 LAN port, which is compatible with PJLink, or through the RS-232C serial port. It is also compatible with AMX, Crestron Connected and Crestron XiO Cloud, provided the main software is Ver. 2.61 or later. A facilities team in a government ministry in Msheireb can switch screens on and off across floors from one place and check the output in a web browser.

Can it be installed in portrait orientation?

Yes. The tilt range is 20 degrees forward and backward in both landscape and portrait orientation, and the panel can be rotated for vertical content. In a Doha shopping centre, a portrait mount suits wayfinding or product lists, while landscape suits a boardroom. Confirm the orientation during the site survey, because the bracket and cable route must be planned for the chosen position.

What power does it need in Qatar?

The rated input is 110-240 V, 50/60 Hz, which includes Qatar's 240 V mains supply. Power consumption is 285 W at shipping condition and 253 W typical in the Standard picture mode, with about 0.5 W in standby and 0.3 W when powered off. Before ordering, confirm the socket type and cable arrangement with the SmartRooms Qatar team so the electrical contractor can prepare the supply.

Is it suitable for hot or dusty locations?

The manufacturer data we hold does not give an operating temperature range for this model, so we cannot state one. Keep it indoors, away from direct sun and dust, and tell us about the room before you request a quote. Our team will check the environment with you, including lobbies with glass frontages, and advise whether extra ventilation or a different location is needed.

Can a school ordering several units use a purchase order?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including those on Monaqasat, and accepts payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Quotations are usually issued within one working day. Because each 98-inch panel weighs 70.0 kg, every hall needs its own site survey, so the school should list the room, wall type and mounting height on its purchase order.
