PN-E869

What the Sharp PN-E869 is designed to do

The Sharp PN-E869 is an 86-inch large format display from the MultiSync E Series. It suits organisations that need a commercial screen for meeting rooms, corridors and information points rather than a consumer television. The 16:9 panel offers a native 3840 x 2160 resolution, so text and fine detail stay sharp across an active area of 1,895 x 1,066 mm, and the unit can be installed in landscape or portrait orientation.

Picture quality in rooms with glass and daylight

The IPS panel uses direct LED backlighting and is rated at 350 cd/m² brightness with a typical contrast ratio of 1,200:1. Typical viewing angles of 178 degrees horizontally and vertically mean people seated at the sides of a room still see a clear image. The Pro haze level of 25 diffuses light from windows and ceiling fittings, which reduces reflections on the screen surface. A 0.494 mm pixel pitch and an 8 ms grey-to-grey response suit slides, spreadsheets and video playback.

Connections and content playback without a PC

Two HDMI inputs accept UHD video at 60 Hz with HDCP 2.2. HDMI IN 1 also carries ARC and CEC, so audio can return to an external sound system and the display can respond to the source device. USB-C accepts UHD video at 60 Hz with DisplayPort Alt Mode 1.2 and audio input, so a compatible laptop can connect with a single cable; that port is rated at 15 W. A powered USB-A port rated at 4.5 W serves peripherals or storage.

The built-in USB media player reads a USB 2.0 drive formatted FAT16 or FAT32 and starts playback with auto-start. It handles MP4 and TS video with HEVC/H.265 up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz, plus JPG images and MP3 audio, and its scheduler controls when content runs. Integrated 10 W + 10 W speakers provide basic audio, and a 3.5 mm line output feeds a larger system. For remote management, the NaViSet Administrator 2 software is a free download, the LAN port runs at 100 Mbit/s, and an RS-232C port at 9600 bps supports serial control.

Where it fits in Qatar

In a private school in Al Wakrah fitting out a corridor of classrooms, the screen can be mounted at eye level and loop timetables, achievement displays and event notices from a USB drive, with the scheduler changing content through the school day. In a boardroom in Msheireb, a presenter can connect a laptop over USB-C or HDMI and share slides during a meeting. In a retail unit or mall frontage in Lusail, a 4K loop can carry promotional content with no computer on site, provided the screen is kept away from direct sunlight.

Planning the installation in Qatar

• Weight: 32.5 kg, with a 1,927 x 1,098 x 60 mm body and a 600 x 400 mm VESA pattern using M8 holes.
• Mounts and stands: the listed options are wall mounts SF680P and L20PNWALL90EU, trolley L20PNSR780MEU and feet ST-86L.
• Environment: the operating range is 0 to +40 °C with 20 to 80% humidity, so the display should be installed in an air-conditioned room.
• Power: typical consumption is 245 W, and standby is below 0.5 W.

Before wall mounting a panel of this size, a site survey should check the wall structure, cable routes and the position of windows relative to the screen. SmartRooms Qatar provides free site surveys and professional installation. Orders can be placed through a purchase order (LPO) or a government tender including Monaqasat, and the product carries the manufacturer's 3-year warranty including the backlight. Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar for one unit or a batch, and expect a quotation usually within one working day.
