A 98-inch 4K IPS panel built for long viewing hours

The Philips 98BDL4550D/00 is a 98-inch signage display from the 4000 Series D-Line range, built around a 3840 x 2160 IPS panel. The diagonal measures 97.5 inches (247.7 cm). The panel shows 1.07 billion colours, with 500 cd/m² brightness, a typical contrast ratio of 1300:1 and a response time of 8 ms. Viewing angles of 178 degrees horizontally and vertically mean people standing to the side of a lobby see the same picture as those in front.

An internal Android player with flexible connections

The screen runs Android 8.0 from an internal player with a 2 x A53 and 2 x A73 CPU, 3 GB DDR memory and 32 GB eMMC storage, so schedules and apps can run without a separate media player. An OPS slot is available for a dedicated computer module when a site needs heavier software. Wi-Fi is dual-band, covering 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, with 802.11 a/b/g/n and 802.1x support.

Video inputs include three HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.2, one DVI-I and two USB 2.0 ports. USB playback supports common audio, video and picture formats, including H.265 video.

Mounting, power and planning for a 98-inch panel

At 90.6 kg and 2193.2 mm wide, the panel needs a wall that can carry its weight and a second person for handling. The wall mount pattern is 800 x 400 mm with M8 fixings, and the set height is 1248.2 mm. The bezel is 16.0 mm all round, and the depth is 87.9 mm on the wall mount or 97.9 mm with the handle.

The mains input is 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz. Typical consumption is 474 W and maximum consumption is 678 W, with standby below 0.5 W. The operating range is 0 to 40 °C and 20 to 80% relative humidity, non-condensing, up to 3,000 m altitude. Qatar summer heat outside often exceeds 45 °C, so the display should sit in an air-conditioned indoor space with clear airflow around the vents.

Where it works in Qatar

In a hotel lobby in West Bay, a single unit can show arrivals information, event schedules and wayfinding, running in landscape around the clock. A corporate reception in Msheireb or Lusail can run bilingual messages on the same screen, since the on-screen menus include Arabic and the content is supplied in both languages. A control room or a feature wall in an office near the airport can use several units tiled into a matrix of up to 10 x 15, with the narrow 16.0 mm bezel keeping gaps small.

Ordering the right setup

Free site survey before installation to check the wall and access route.
Choose landscape or portrait placement for each screen before ordering.
Confirm the RS232 or IR control system and cables needed.

Questions about 98BDL4550D/00

What is the Philips 98BDL4550D/00 used for?

It is a 98-inch digital signage display for places where many people pass and need to read information, such as hotel lobbies in West Bay, mall atriums and corporate reception areas in Msheireb. Its 500 cd/m² brightness and 178-degree viewing angles keep content readable from the side as well as straight on. Playlists can run unattended around the clock, which suits wayfinding, promotions and visitor messages.

Does it need a separate media player?

No external player is required for basic content. The display has an internal player with a 2 x A53 and 2 x A73 CPU, 3 GB DDR memory and 32 GB eMMC storage, running Android 8.0. An OPS slot is also available if you prefer a dedicated computer module for heavier apps. Confirm your software platform with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering, as the product data does not name a specific management system.

Can it run in portrait orientation all day?

Yes. The manufacturer rates the panel for landscape and portrait placement, both for 24/7 operation. Portrait suits a corridor, a lift lobby or a vertical menu board in a café in Al Sadd, where a tall, narrow message fits better than a wide one. Pixel Shift and a Low Bright mode help with screen-saving when logos and menus stay on screen for long opening hours.

Will it work with Qatar's 240 V power supply?

Yes. The mains input is rated 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz supply. An AC power cord is included. Typical consumption is 474 W and maximum is 678 W, and standby draw is below 0.5 W. Ask your electrician to confirm the circuit can carry the maximum figure, and confirm the plug type with your quotation.

Can it be installed outdoors or in a sun-facing shop window?

No. The operating range is 0 to 40 °C with 20 to 80% relative humidity, non-condensing, up to 3,000 m altitude. Qatar summer exteriors often exceed 45 °C, so the display should sit in an air-conditioned indoor space where the air around it stays within that range. For a window-facing position, plan shading and airflow, and confirm the spot with the SmartRooms Qatar team during the free site survey.

How much wall space and load capacity do I need?

Plan for a wall that can carry 90.6 kg, with a wall mount pattern of 800 x 400 mm using M8 fittings. The set is 2193.2 mm wide and 1248.2 mm high, with a 16.0 mm even bezel. Depth is 87.9 mm on the wall mount and 97.9 mm with the handle. Because the panel is heavy, a free site survey before installation lets SmartRooms Qatar check the wall, the fixings and the access route to the room.

Can several units be tiled into a video wall?

Yes, the tiled matrix goes up to 10 x 15 units. The narrow 16.0 mm bezel reduces the visible gap between panels, and RS232 daisy-chain cabling plus IR and RS232 loop-through let one control source manage a row of displays. For a control room or a lobby feature wall in Lusail, plan the matrix size, wall structure and cable routing before ordering, and ask for a quote covering the full set.

Can it connect when Wi-Fi is weak?

The panel has dual-band Wi-Fi on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, supporting 802.11 a/b/g/n and 802.1x authentication. It also has an RJ45 port for network control. The data lists mPCIe 4G/LTE antenna connectors, but it does not confirm that a modem module is included, so ask SmartRooms Qatar to confirm the module and antenna before you order.

Does the on-screen menu support Arabic?

Yes. The on-screen display languages include Arabic, alongside English, French, Spanish, Turkish, Russian and others. This helps teams in Doha who work in Arabic and English side by side, such as bank branches or government offices, set up the screen in their preferred language. Displayed content still depends on the files you supply.

How can it be controlled from a central system?

Control options are RJ45 for network control, RS232C in and out through a 2.5 mm jack, and IR in and out through a 3.5 mm jack. An IR sensor cable of 1.8 m and a remote control with AAA batteries are included. Keyboard control can be hidden and locked, which suits public areas where visitors should not change settings. Tell SmartRooms Qatar which control system you use so the right cables are quoted.

What warranty comes with it?

The product comes with a 3-year warranty from the manufacturer. The product data also quotes an MTBF of 50,000 hours. Listed regulatory approvals include CE, RoHS, FCC Class A, ETL and EnergyStar 8.0. Products are covered by the manufacturer's warranty, so ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm the warranty details in your quotation.

How do we order for a government tender or school purchase?

SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat, with payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Quotations are usually issued within one working day. A school or ministry buying several units can ask for one combined quotation covering screens, mounts, cables and installation. Delivery covers all eight municipalities of Qatar.
