Overview

The Sharp PN-E509 is a 50-inch 4K UHD display from the MultiSync E Series, built for meeting rooms and digital signage. Its matte high-haze panel reduces glare from windows and ceiling lights, and its built-in USB media player starts UHD content automatically without external media hardware. Rated for 16/7 operation and backed by a 3-year warranty that includes the backlight, it suits offices, clinics and retail entrances across Qatar. Request a quote for supply and installation.

A 50-inch UHD screen for rooms that need clear reading at a glance

The Sharp PN-E509 combines a 3840 x 2160 native resolution with 350 cd/m² brightness and a typical contrast ratio of 4000:1. It is intended for business use: meeting rooms that show presentations, reception areas that run signage, and corridors that carry directions or announcements. Rated for 16/7 operation, it can run through a full working day without being switched off.

Glare control and picture quality in bright rooms

The panel uses a matte, high-haze finish rated at 25 per cent haze, which scatters light from windows and ceiling fittings instead of mirroring it. Its VA panel with direct LED backlighting offers a typical 178 degree viewing angle both horizontally and vertically, an 8 ms grey-to-grey response time and a 60 Hz refresh rate. In a meeting room with a glass wall, that surface often matters more than the brightness figure alone.

Media playback, inputs and remote management

Two HDMI inputs with UHD at 60 Hz and HDCP 2.2, plus ARC and CEC on HDMI IN 1 and CEC on HDMI IN 2
USB-C input with UHD at 60 Hz, DP alt. 1.2, HDCP 2.2 and a 15 W rating
USB-A port rated at 4.5 W for peripherals or USB storage
USB media player that starts UHD content automatically when the display powers on
100 Mbit/s LAN and RS-232C for networked control, with NaViSet Administrator 2 available as a free download
Integrated speakers rated at 10 W + 10 W

Where it fits in Qatar

In a private clinic in Al Sadd, one unit in the waiting area can loop health information or queue updates from a USB drive, so reception does not need a computer for the display. In a serviced apartment reception in West Bay, portrait mounting suits lift lobbies and corridor signage. An engineering office in the Industrial Area can use the PN-E509 in a small meeting room and show a laptop screen over USB-C during video calls with teams abroad.

What to plan before installation

The panel measures 1,120 x 641 x 59.9 mm and weighs 9.2 kg, and it uses a 200 x 200 mm VESA pattern with M6 holes. Sharp lists a wall mount in L and P variants, a PD04 Tipster trolley and ST-43M feet as options. The operating temperature range is 0 to +40°C with 20 to 80 per cent humidity, so the unit belongs in an air-conditioned room, because Qatar's outdoor summer temperatures can exceed 45°C. Typical power draw is 99 W and power savings mode stays below 0.5 W. A free site survey lets us check the wall, cable routes and room temperature before mounting.

To request a quote for the PN-E509, send the number of units, the mounting locations and the accessories you need. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and we will confirm delivery to all eight municipalities of Qatar, with LPO or tender paperwork where required.

Questions about PN-E509

What is the Sharp PN-E509 designed for?

The PN-E509 is a 50-inch, 3840 x 2160 display for business use, suited to meeting rooms, reception areas and corridors that show signage. It offers 350 cd/m² brightness, a typical 4000:1 contrast ratio and a 16/7 operating rating. Organisations that need more than a consumer TV, but not a full video wall, usually choose this size for a single wall-mounted screen.

Can it play digital signage without a PC?

Yes. The integrated USB media player plays UHD content from a USB drive and starts automatically when the display powers on, so no external media player is needed. The drive must use FAT16 or FAT32 file systems, and the USB-A port is rated at 4.5 W. A reception desk in Doha can loop welcome messages, visitor information or wayfinding slides throughout the day.

Which video formats does the USB media player support?

The player supports MP4 and TS files with H.264 or HEVC (H.265) video up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz, plus MPG and WMV files up to 1080p at 30 Hz. Audio includes LPCM, MP3 and AAC for video files, and JPG images up to 15360 x 8640 are supported. Prepare content as MP4 with H.264 or HEVC video before loading it, and format the drive as FAT32.

How does the panel handle bright rooms and windows?

The panel uses a matte high-haze finish rated Pro at 25 per cent, which scatters light from windows and ceiling lights instead of reflecting it as a glossy screen would. Brightness is 350 cd/m² and the typical viewing angle is 178 degrees horizontally and vertically. In a meeting room with a glass façade in West Bay, place the screen away from direct sunlight and check reflections during the site survey.

Can it be mounted in portrait orientation?

Yes, the PN-E509 supports both landscape and portrait orientation. Its bezel is 10.8 mm on all sides, so the frame stays even whichever way the panel hangs. It has a 200 x 200 mm VESA pattern with four M6 holes. Portrait suits menu boards, lift lobbies and corridor signage. When you request a quote, specify the wall mount you need, either PDW S 32-65 L or P.

Will it cope with Qatar's summer heat?

The operating temperature range is 0 to +40°C with 20 to 80 per cent humidity, so it must be installed indoors in an air-conditioned space. Outdoor temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45°C in summer, which is above the rating. Avoid walls that receive direct sun, unconditioned rooms and outdoor kiosks, and confirm the room temperature during the free site survey.

Is it compatible with Qatar's 240 V mains power?

The internal power supply accepts 100-240 V AC at 50/60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains. Typical power consumption is 99 W, below 0.5 W in power savings mode and below 2 W in networked standby. Because the supply is internal, there is no external adapter to fit in a cabinet. Confirm the plug type within your quotation when ordering for a specific site.

What connections does it offer?

There are two HDMI inputs supporting UHD at 60 Hz with HDCP 2.2, with ARC and CEC on HDMI IN 1 and CEC on HDMI IN 2. A USB-C input also carries UHD at 60 Hz with DP alt. 1.2, HDCP 2.2, audio and a 15 W rating. The unit adds a 100 Mbit/s LAN port, an RS-232C port at 9600 bps and a 3.5 mm audio output, which covers a laptop, a set-top box and a conferencing system in one room.

How do we manage several displays from one place?

Use NaViSet Administrator 2, which Sharp offers as a free download, over the 100 Mbit/s LAN connection or through RS-232C. The built-in scheduler helps plan when each display runs. Across a school with several classrooms, or a hotel with multiple lobby screens, central management helps keep settings consistent across units. Request a quote and we will plan the network layout alongside the installation.

Is it suitable for a clinic waiting area in Al Sadd?

Yes, provided the room is air-conditioned, because the operating range starts at 0 to +40°C. A 50-inch panel suits seating a few metres from the screen, and the USB player can show health information or queue updates without a computer at reception. The matte surface helps where daylight enters through a window, and the 16/7 rating suits long opening hours. Request a site survey to confirm the best position.

What should we plan before wall-mounting it in a West Bay office?

The panel weighs 9.2 kg and the packed unit weighs 13 kg, so plan a wall mount rated for that load and fixed into solid wall or structural support. Match the 200 x 200 mm VESA holes to the bracket, and plan cable routes for HDMI, USB-C and power. The free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar lets us check the wall, glare from windows and the cable path before installation.

Can we order several units under an LPO or government tender?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar supplies against purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including those on Monaqasat, and accepts payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. A school or ministry fitting out several rooms with PN-E509 units can list quantities, mount options and accessories such as the trolley or feet in one quotation. Products are covered by the manufacturer's 3-year warranty, including the backlight.
