98″ for Signage or Meeting Rooms
Panasonic professional displays combine stylish design with powerful functionality to compliment an array of commercial applications. From digital signage to meeting rooms the Panasonic TH-98SQ1W has the vivid colors, high dynamic range and reliability for continuous color reproduction and flawless operation.
AVA Distribution took a look the 98” 98SQ1W panel features within a meeting room application and dove into some tips and tricks on the usability and real world functions. Panasonic displays continually outperform their competitors in cost of ownership and reliability over their lifetime. With 24/7 run time you can have the confidence in carefree operation for whatever display application required.
Look & Feel
The Panasonic 98SQ1W has a depth of 97mm with 16mm bezel top and sides. On such large image real estate the small bezels allow images to be displayed with high impact and minimal obtrusion. The panel is able to be mounted in landscape and portrait mode with panel functionality reflecting the desired mode.
Picture Quality
With 4K resolution & 8,290,000 pixels the 98SQ1W has image reproduction 4x times that of Full HD. Catering for both FULL HD and 4K content the panel will allow true to life image reproduction and display highly critical information with ease. In a meeting room application the fine detail helps convey information clearly within large scale documents of spreadsheets. The panel includes a range of features such as HDR support & BT.2020 color emulation. The SQ1 Series provides 12-axis color management which allows the color temperature, shade, and brightness parameters of individual images to be adjusted for red, green, and blue, and their complementary colors, cyan, magenta, and yellow. This keeps the intermediate shades of extremely fine colors vibrant and lifelike. The 98SQ1W uses a IPS panel allowing wider viewing angle and reduced color changes. Images are displayed with crisp and clear reproduction no matter the viewing angle.
Reliability & Performance
With 24/7 operation the panel is designed for continuous use and long run times in applications such as control rooms or airports. Critical information can be displayed at any time with emphasis on failover and management included. With backup input functions and failover, if an input goes down the panel can switch to a back up input for mission critical applications. The Panasonic Multi Monitoring & Control Software allows panel control via the intranet with a PC or smart device. Alerts and maintenance information notifications can be sent from the panel directly or with network cameras monitoring the device locally. The software is free download for control and monitoring but there is an additional fee for the notification functions.
Meeting Room / Boardroom Functions
The Panasonic 98” for meeting room applications are recommended by AVAD because of the ease of use functions such as; instant on, sound adjustment and multi-window display. By simply connecting a display and PC with a video cable, a series of operations can be performed: the signal can be detected → the display power turned on → the input switched → and the display power turned off. There’s no need to operate a remote control, and no forgetting to turn off the power at the end of the meeting. The panel is equipped with a mode that makes it easy to hear “human voices” suitable for meeting rooms. Flatten the frequency characteristics by extending the equalizer function. This achieves a sound quality for human voices that is easy to hear. It also improves the lack of sound flow in wall hangings. The volume is adjusted to an easy-to-hear level for comfortable information sharing.
One big selling feature is the multi-window display functionality. In a board room setting simply wiring from table to display with 4x video connections such as 2x HDMI, DVI & DP you can push one button on the remote and switch between single image mode and quad screen mode. This gives you essentially 4x 49” images in your boardroom or meeting space for collaboration or for multi-window applications.
Conclusions
The Panasonic 98” display can accommodate many commercial applications with tried and tested results for boardrooms. A solid build, great slim line aesthetics and powerful features enable this display to be used every hour of every day for critical needs.
