Product Overview

The Planar URP98 is a commercial-grade 98-inch 4K UHD large-format LCD display built for digital signage, collaborative meeting spaces, and corporate AV environments that demand consistent performance at commercial scale. With 500 nits brightness, Direct-lit LED backlighting, fanless operation, and 24/7 reliability, it replaces the QE9850 as Planar's flagship 98-inch offering in the UltraRes P Series. Multi-source viewing, TAA compliance, and portrait and landscape flexibility make it broadly applicable across enterprise, government, and institutional deployments.

Product Description

The Planar URP98 (SKU: 998-3263-00) is a 98-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) Direct-lit LED LCD display rated for up to 24/7 operation with a 1200:1 contrast ratio and 500 nit brightness output. Native 4K resolution at up to 60Hz is supported via HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2, enabling smooth motion video and precise mouse tracking for collaboration platform use. Users can view up to four simultaneous source inputs and monitor each zone independently for optimized per-source image quality. Remote monitoring via email alert notifies administrators when designated operational events occur, enabling proactive display management across distributed deployments.

Fanless operation eliminates noise and reduces mechanical failure points, making the URP98 well suited to quiet environments such as boardrooms, lobbies, and executive spaces. Built-in speakers support presentations and signage playback without requiring external audio hardware. The display operates in both landscape and portrait orientations, expanding placement options. TAA compliance enables procurement under government purchasing vehicles. The URP98 directly replaces the end-of-production QE9850 and is available to ship in August 2026.
