A 98-inch 4K display with its own media player

The Philips 98BDL4650D sits in the 4000 Series of the D-Line signage range and has a 97.5-inch diagonal panel with 3840 x 2160 resolution. Its 500 cd/m² brightness and 1200:1 typical contrast ratio keep text and video readable in bright reception areas. An internal player with 4 GB RAM, 32 GB eMMC storage and Android 11 lets you build and run content on the screen itself, with no separate media box to mount behind it.

Connections and control for a mixed AV setup

Inputs include two HDMI 2.0 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 input, a DVI-I input, two USB 3.0 ports and a 3.5 mm audio input. DisplayPort 1.4 also works as an output, so one source can be passed on to a second display. Control options include RJ45, RS232 and IR, with RS232 and IR loop-through, which helps a facilities team manage several screens from one point. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 come through a slide-in module, and 4G/LTE antenna connectors and an external 4G mPCIe slot are provided for sites that need a cellular connection.

Where it fits in Qatar

Hotel and serviced apartment lobbies in West Bay, where a large landscape panel shows arrival information and promotions to guests.
Hospital and clinic waiting areas in Al Sadd, using landscape or portrait layouts to show queue numbers and health information.
Corporate and government reception halls in Msheireb, displaying wayfinding and event schedules in English and Arabic.

Planning the installation

At 65.64 kg and 2193.4 mm wide, this display needs a wall or frame that can carry its weight. The wall mount pattern is 1000 x 400 mm with M8 fixings, and the set is 87.8 mm deep when wall mounted. Our team carries out a free site survey before mounting, covering wall loading, cable routes and the main viewing position. The operating range is 0 to 40°C with 20 to 80% humidity and no condensation, so in Qatar's summers the display belongs in an air-conditioned space, away from direct sun through glass. The power input is 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz, with typical consumption of 209 W, standby below 0.5 W and an energy label class of G.

Ordering several units

Schools, universities and government offices often order more than one display, and adjacent screens need matching units. The product supports tiled matrix configurations up to 10 x 15, with a bezel of 16.9 mm on the left, right and top and 20 mm at the bottom. We accept purchase orders and government tenders, including Monaqasat, and payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. The display carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

Questions about 98BDL4650D/00

What is the Philips 98BDL4650D built for?

It is a 98-inch display for public spaces where content runs for long hours, such as hotel lobbies, waiting areas, corridors and retail entrances. The 97.5-inch 4K panel with 500 cd/m² brightness stays readable in bright reception halls, and it can be placed in landscape or portrait around the clock, so it suits both wayfinding boards and vertical menus.

Do I need a separate media player for this display?

No. The display has an internal player with Android 11, 4 GB RAM and 32 GB eMMC storage, so you can run content directly on the screen. Files can also play from a USB drive, with image formats BMP, JPEG and PNG and video formats including MP4, H.265 and WEBM. Confirm your content management software with the SmartRooms Qatar team before you order.

Can it show Arabic and English menus for an office in Doha?

Yes for the on-screen display, which lists Arabic alongside English, French, German, Spanish and many other languages. Arabic text on your signage depends on the fonts and software used in your content, so test your files before rollout. A bilingual reception in West Bay or Msheireb can use one screen for both languages by choosing the on-screen menu language.

Can I place it near a window or outdoors in Qatar's summer?

It is not rated for outdoor use. The operating range is 0 to 40°C with 20 to 80% humidity and no condensation, which is below the summer highs above 45°C seen across Qatar. Install it in an air-conditioned indoor space and keep it out of direct sunlight through glass. If your lobby is glazed, our team can review the position during the free site survey.

What wall or structure does it need?

The display weighs 65.64 kg and measures 2193.4 mm wide by 1255.3 mm high. Its wall mount pattern is 1000 x 400 mm with M8 fixings, and it sits 87.8 mm deep on the wall mount. Because the weight is substantial, confirm the wall or frame can carry it before drilling. SmartRooms Qatar provides a free site survey to check the wall, cable routes and viewing position.

Which video inputs can I connect to it?

Inputs include two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, one DVI-I, two USB 3.0 ports and a 3.5 mm audio input. VGA is supported through the DVI input. DisplayPort 1.4 is also available as an output, so one source can feed a second display. Supported computer formats go up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz, which matches the panel resolution.

Can I manage several displays from one control system?

Yes. The display offers RJ45, RS232 in and out, and IR in and out, with IR loop-through and RS232 loop-through. A RS232 daisy-chain cable is included. A facilities team in a hospital or school can use these ports to control several screens from one point, and network-controllable options include RJ45, RS232, Wi-Fi and the external 4G slot.

Does it support Wi-Fi 6 and 4G connectivity?

Wi-Fi 6 with Bluetooth 5.2 comes through a slide-in Wi-Fi module, and the display supports 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax. It also has 4G/LTE antenna connectors and an external 4G mPCIe slot, which helps at sites where a wired network is limited. Ask our team to confirm the module and any 4G card you plan to use before you approve the quotation.

Can I build a video wall with this model?

The tiled matrix is listed as up to 10 x 15 panels. The bezel measures 16.9 mm on the left, right and top, and 20 mm at the bottom, which keeps seams narrow in a control room or multi-screen display wall. Plan the layout and mounting structure during the site survey, since tiling multiplies the weight and cable runs across the wall.

What is the power draw and which plug does it need?

The power input is 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains supply. Typical consumption is 209 W, standby is below 0.5 W, and the energy label class is G. An AC power cord is included. Before ordering, confirm with SmartRooms Qatar that the supplied cord matches the BS 1363 (Type G) socket in your room.

What is in the box and what warranty applies?

Included items are a remote control with AAA batteries, RS232 and daisy-chain cables, a 1.8 m IR sensor cable, the Wi-Fi module, screws, three wire clamps, an AC power cord, a USB cover and a quick start guide. The display comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty. Review the full kit and warranty details in your quotation before you approve the order.

How do I order several units for a school or government tender?

Send us the number of displays, the room list, the mounting walls and whether you need a purchase order or a Monaqasat tender. We accept purchase orders and government tenders, and payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. A quotation usually follows within one working day, and the site survey can be scheduled to cover every wall before the order is confirmed.
