Overview

The manufacturer has discontinued the Newline Lyra QAS, a 4K interactive display series in 55, 65, 75, 86 and 98-inch sizes. Each size has 3840 x 2160 resolution, 450 cd/m² brightness, up to 40 touch points on Windows and an OPS slot. Schools and offices that run Lyra panels, or are comparing them with newer models, can request a quote for a current equivalent or compatible replacement.

What the Newline Lyra QAS is

The Newline Lyra QAS is a 4K interactive display series, and the manufacturer has discontinued it. The range covers five panel sizes: the 55-inch TT-5523QAS, 65-inch TT-6523QAS, 75-inch TT-7523QAS, 86-inch TT-8623QAS and 98-inch TT-9823QAS. Schools and offices that already run these panels can use this page to check specifications and plan any changes, while buyers comparing options can decide between an existing unit and a newer model. Request a quote for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement.

Display and touch performance

Each panel uses a 3840 x 2160 (4K) display in a 16:9 ratio with 1.07 billion colours. Brightness is rated at 450 cd/m² across all five sizes, with a 5000:1 contrast ratio, a 6 ms response time and a 178 degree viewing angle. The surface is anti-glare and anti-fingerprint tempered glass rated 7H. Touch accuracy is ±1 mm, palm rejection is supported and two styluses are listed in the specification. The panel supports up to 40 touch points on Windows and 20 on Android, which matters when several students write at the board together or two presenters share one screen.

Connectivity, computing and classroom features

The front panel offers a 65 W powered USB Type-C port, an HDMI 2.0 input, a USB Type-B touch connection, a USB 3.0 Type-A port and a microphone input. The rear adds HDMI 2.0 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.2 input, a 15 W powered USB Type-C port, an HDMI output, RS232, gigabit RJ45 in and out, an audio line out and an SPDIF output. An OPS slot and an SDM-S slot allow expansion. The specification lists an Amlogic A311D2 octa-core processor, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB expandable storage and Android 13, along with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. Up to six user profiles, one admin and five users, can keep separate home screens and settings for teachers, students or departments.

Where it fits in Qatar

A 55-inch or 65-inch panel suits a primary or secondary classroom in Al Sadd, or a small meeting room in a Doha office where a few people share the screen. An 86-inch or 98-inch panel suits a lecture hall or boardroom in West Bay or Education City, where attendees sit several metres back and need to read content clearly. Schools fitting out several rooms with the same size can request one quotation covering every unit.

Planning the installation

Weight rises with size: 31.5 kg for the 55-inch, 39 kg for the 65-inch, 52 kg for the 75-inch, 65 kg for the 86-inch and 108 kg for the 98-inch. Wall mounting needs a suitable structure, so SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey before installation. VESA patterns run from 400 x 400 mm on the 55-inch to 800 x 600 mm on the 98-inch, and the manufacturer describes these measurements as indicative. Standard-mode power consumption ranges from 95 W on the 55-inch to 207 W on the 98-inch, with standby below 0.5 W. The data available does not state an operating temperature range, so confirm room conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team before placing a panel near a window, in a hot corridor or in a dusty entrance. Send your room sizes and the number of panels to SmartRooms Qatar and request a quote; quotations usually arrive within one working day.

Questions about Lyra QAS

Is the Newline Lyra QAS still available to buy?

No. The manufacturer has discontinued the Lyra QAS series, so this page is written for organisations that already own one, buyers comparing it with newer models, and anyone looking for a replacement. Request a quote and SmartRooms Qatar will propose a current equivalent or a compatible replacement that matches your room size and mounting plan. Quotations usually arrive within one working day.

Which sizes and model codes were in the Lyra QAS series?

The series came in 55, 65, 75, 86 and 98 inches, with model codes TT-5523QAS, TT-6523QAS, TT-7523QAS, TT-8623QAS and TT-9823QAS. Check the code on your unit's label or in your purchase records and include it in your quotation request. This lets the team match a replacement to the same screen size and mounting footprint.

What resolution and brightness does the panel deliver?

Each panel shows 4K video at 3840 x 2160 in a 16:9 ratio, with 1.07 billion colours. Brightness is rated at 450 cd/m² on all five sizes, with a 5000:1 contrast ratio and a 6 ms response time. If the room gets strong daylight, test the position of the screen relative to windows before mounting, because glare affects how readable the image is.

How many people can write on the screen at the same time?

The specification lists up to 40 touch points on Windows and 20 on Android, with touch accuracy of ±1 mm and palm rejection. Two styluses are listed, and the panel responds to a passive pen, a finger or a fist. The Windows figure matters most in a lecture or group activity where several students write at the board together.

Does the Lyra QAS support Wi-Fi and wired networking?

Yes. The specification lists Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, with the Wi-Fi module integrated and replaceable. The rear panel also has a gigabit RJ45 port that works as an input and output, and the panel supports LAN control, Wake on LAN and CEC. A school with a fixed wired network can connect the panel directly, which keeps wireless traffic off a busy classroom network.

Which ports should I use to connect laptops and a classroom computer?

The front has a 65 W powered USB Type-C port, an HDMI 2.0 input, a USB Type-B touch connection, a USB 3.0 Type-A port and a microphone input. The rear has two HDMI 2.0 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.2 input, a 15 W powered USB Type-C port and an HDMI output. A single USB-C cable can carry data, audio, video and power from a compatible laptop, so teachers connect once and start the lesson.

Can I add a computer module to the panel?

Yes, the specification lists an OPS slot and an SDM-S slot. An OPS slot takes a plug-in computing module, which lets a school run a computer from inside the display rather than from a separate desktop beside it. Compatibility depends on the module, so confirm the exact unit with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering.

Which size suits a boardroom in West Bay?

An 86-inch panel suits a boardroom or lecture room where attendees sit several metres from the screen, with a display area of 1895 x 1066 mm. Its net weight is 65 kg, so arrange a free site survey first to confirm the wall structure and mounting height. A 98-inch unit suits larger rooms, but it weighs 108 kg and needs a stronger mount.

How much power does the panel draw, and does it need a special supply?

Standard-mode consumption ranges from 95 W on the 55-inch to 207 W on the 98-inch, and standby is below 0.5 W. Qatar's mains supply is 240 V at 50 Hz, but the data for this model does not state its power supply rating. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm the supply requirement for your chosen size before installation.

Can a school order several units under one purchase order?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs), government tenders, and payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Send the number of classrooms and the screen size for each room, and the quotation will list every unit separately. Products are covered by the manufacturer's warranty, and the team can arrange professional installation after the order is confirmed.

How do user profiles help a primary school classroom in Al Sadd?

The panel supports six user profiles: one admin and five users. Each profile can keep its own home screen, theme, apps and settings for a teacher, a group or a department. When several teachers share one classroom, switching profiles avoids reconfiguring the screen at the start of each session, and the admin profile can control the shared settings.

Is the panel suitable for a hot, dusty lobby or hall in Al Khor?

The data available does not list an operating temperature range or a dust rating, so we cannot confirm the panel for a hot or dusty lobby. Before choosing a location, confirm with the SmartRooms Qatar team whether the space is air conditioned, away from direct sunlight and sheltered from dust. An indoor, climate-controlled room is the safer choice for this model.
