Planar QE9850 - 98" large format 4K LCD display - 997-8799-01
Product Overview
The Planar QE9850 is a 98-inch large-format 4K LCD display rated for 24/7 operation and designed for digital signage, collaborative meeting spaces, and enterprise AV environments requiring commercial-grade performance at maximum screen real estate. With TAA compliance, quad-source viewing, fanless operation, and Crestron driver support, it has served as a reliable 98-inch cornerstone display for government, corporate, and institutional deployments. Note: the QE9850 is End of Production with limited remaining inventory and is replaced by the Planar URP98.
Product Description
The Planar QE9850 (SKU: 997-8799-01) is a 98-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) LED-backlit LCD display supporting native 4K at up to 60Hz via HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 with HDCP 2.2 compliance. The display supports four simultaneous source inputs in quad layout with per-zone image adjustments and email-based remote monitoring alerts. Fanless operation eliminates noise and mechanical failure points, and an embedded Planar ContentSmart 4K media player is included for standalone signage playback without an external media source.
Crestron drivers are available for simplified AV control system integration, reducing programming time for integrators and system designers. Landscape and portrait flexibility is supported on select configurations. TAA compliance qualifies the QE9850 for government and institutional purchasing vehicles. As an end-of-production model, remaining inventory is limited—the URP98 is the current replacement. Purchasers requiring a 98-inch TAA-compliant display for near-term delivery should inquire about current stock availability.
