Overview
The Sharp PN-ME982 is a 98-inch class large format display with 4K UHD resolution, 450 cd/m2 brightness and a high-haze panel that cuts glare from windows. It runs Android 13 on a built-in system-on-chip, so signage content and apps can run without an external media player. Its USB-C input, three HDMI inputs and 15 W powered USB port suit boardrooms and retail signage across Qatar.
What the PN-ME982 is built to do
The Sharp PN-ME982 is a 98-inch class display from the second-generation MultiSync ME series, designed for two jobs that often share one wall: hosting meetings and running digital signage. Its 3840 x 2160 native panel uses IPS technology with direct LED backlighting, rated at 450 cd/m2 brightness and a typical contrast ratio of 1200:1. The panel supports HLG and PQ HDR formats and can be used in landscape or portrait orientation.
The specifications that shape the decision
Three details usually decide whether this model fits a room. The high-haze panel, rated Pro at 25 percent haze, reduces reflections from windows and ceiling lights, which helps in rooms that stay bright during the day. The built-in Android 13 system-on-chip, with 4 GB RAM and 32 GB of internal storage, lets the display play content and run a web browser without an external media player. The integrated 10 W + 10 W speakers mean a meeting can start without extra audio hardware.
Connectivity is broad for a panel of this class:
- USB-C input with DisplayPort alt mode 1.4, USB 2.0 or 3.0 data and 15 W power, so a laptop connects with one cable.
- Three HDMI inputs that accept UHD at 60 Hz with HDCP 2.2, with ARC on HDMI IN 3.
- Three USB-A ports, one USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0, for peripherals and USB storage.
- Control and network: a 100 Mbit/s LAN port, RS-232C at 9600 bps and an IR extender input.
Where it fits in Qatar
In a ministry or corporate boardroom in West Bay or Msheireb, the PN-ME982 can take a presentation from a visitor's laptop over USB-C, then switch to a call with teams abroad in the same session. The high-haze filter keeps shared slides readable when the room lights stay on and the windows are bright.
In a lecture room at Education City or a training centre in Al Sadd, the 98-inch screen gives students at the back a large, sharp image with 4K detail. In a shopping mall in Lusail or The Pearl, the same panel can loop promotions and wayfinding from its own Android playback, scheduled through a supported content management system, without an external media box on the wall.
Planning the room, power and mounting
The operating range is 0 to +40°C with 20 to 80 percent humidity. Summer temperatures in Qatar regularly exceed 45°C, so this display belongs in an air-conditioned interior away from direct sun and outdoor exposure. Its ingress rating is IP5x at both front and back, which describes dust protection rather than water resistance. Confirm the room conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team during a free site survey.
- Weight: 54.5 kg, or 82 kg packaged, so plan lifts, doorways and stairwells.
- Mounting: four VESA holes at 800 x 600 with M8 fixings; the SF680P wall mount and trolley options are listed as accessories.
- Power: internal 100-240 V AC supply at 50/60 Hz, which falls within Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains.
- Warranty: three years including the backlight, with optional fourth and fifth year extensions.

Questions about PN-ME982
Is the PN-ME982 suited to a retail frontage or shopping mall in Lusail or The Pearl?
Yes, for indoor retail where the screen faces customers. The 98-inch 4K panel at 450 cd/m2 is visible from a distance, and the built-in Android 13 system-on-chip can loop promotions without an external media box. Its 0 to +40°C operating range means it should sit in an air-conditioned interior space, not in a glazed storefront exposed to direct sun. The SmartRooms Qatar team can confirm the location during a site survey.
Will it work in a West Bay boardroom where hybrid meetings link Doha with overseas teams?
It suits a larger boardroom where people sit several metres from the screen. A visitor can connect a laptop with one USB-C cable, which carries video and provides 15 W power, then join a video call from the same room. The three HDMI inputs take a conferencing codec or PC, and the 10 W + 10 W speakers provide basic audio. Confirm your conferencing platform with SmartRooms Qatar before ordering.
Does the high-haze panel help in a bright meeting room with large windows in Msheireb?
Yes. The panel is rated Pro at 25 percent haze, which reduces reflections from windows and ceiling lights, so slides and spreadsheets stay readable with the lights on. It does not replace good room design, and blinds on sun-facing windows still help. Compare the 450 cd/m2 brightness with the ambient light in your room during a site survey, and ask the team to check sight lines from the back row.
Can I install it in an unconditioned warehouse, outdoor canopy or non-air-conditioned corridor?
No. The operating temperature is 0 to +40°C with 20 to 80 percent humidity, and the IP5x rating covers dust protection only. Qatar summers regularly exceed 45°C, so an unconditioned or outdoor location falls outside the stated operating conditions. Choose an air-conditioned indoor position, and ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to review the room before you commit to a location.
Is it a good choice for a lecture room at Education City or a training centre in Al Sadd?
It can be, for rooms where students sit at a distance from the screen. The 98-inch 4K panel shows fine text and diagrams clearly to rows at the back, and the 3.5 mm line-out provides audio for external equipment. Security settings can disable hardware buttons and IR functionality, so students cannot change the configuration. Match the mount to the room layout during a free site survey.
Can a hotel lobby near Hamad International Airport use it for wayfinding and promotions?
Yes, as an indoor, air-conditioned display. Android 13 with 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage runs a built-in browser and file manager, and the manufacturer lists compatibility with third-party content management systems. It plays MP4 files with H.264 and HEVC up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 fps, and it can run in portrait for directional signs. Verify your content management system with SmartRooms Qatar before ordering.
What connections does it offer for laptops, media players and peripherals?
Three HDMI inputs accept UHD at 60 Hz with HDCP 2.2, and HDMI IN 3 adds ARC. The USB-C input supports DisplayPort alt mode 1.4 and USB 2.0 or 3.0 data. Three USB-A ports, one USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0, serve peripherals and USB storage. A 100 Mbit/s LAN port and an RS-232C port at 9600 bps handle network and control links.
Does it play signage content on its own, and which apps can be installed?
Yes. The integrated Android 13 system-on-chip lets you install apps directly on the display through its built-in browser, without an external media player. The Android build receives regular over-the-air updates. The specification also lists a file manager and web browser as built in, and supports playback from USB storage formatted as FAT16 or FAT32 at USB 2.0 speed.
How heavy is it, and what should I plan for mounting?
The display weighs 54.5 kg and ships in a 2,360 x 1,425 x 280 mm package weighing 82 kg. It has four VESA holes at 800 x 600 with M8 fixings. Plan a wall mount such as the SF680P or a trolley option, and confirm the wall structure, lift access and doorway widths during a free site survey before delivery.
Does the power supply suit Qatar's mains electricity?
The internal power supply is rated 100-240 V AC at 50/60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains. A power cable is included in the shipping contents. Check that its plug suits the BS 1363 (Type G) sockets in your building, and have a licensed electrician confirm circuit capacity. Power saving mode draws under 0.5 W, and networked standby under 2 W.
What warranty applies, and how do government or school projects buy it?
The manufacturer provides a three-year warranty that includes the backlight, with optional fourth and fifth year extensions. SmartRooms Qatar delivers to all eight municipalities and accepts purchase orders (LPOs), government tenders including Monaqasat, and payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Quotations usually follow within one working day. Request a quote stating the quantity and accessories you need.
Can it be controlled from a room system, scheduler or building management setup?
Yes, through several routes. The display supports RS-232C at 9600 bps, an IR extender input, HDMI CEC, a scheduled timer and ASCII control commands. The specification also lists AMX NetLinx and Crestron Connected support, plus NaViSet Administrator 2 with automated email alerts. Share your control system details when requesting a quote so the team can confirm the right connection route.
