Product Overview

The Planar URP98-ERO-T is a 98-inch 4K UHD commercial touch display built to replace the QE9850T, combining direct-LED backlighting, 450-nit brightness, and 20-point IR touch in a TAA-compliant package rated for 24x7 operation. Designed for the full range of large-format commercial applications — from dynamic digital signage to collaborative meeting spaces — this Planar 98 inch 4K commercial display includes Planar ERO-LCD soda-lime glass protection and MediaPlex Plus multi-source processing supporting PiP, dual, triple, and quad-source layouts. Remote monitoring via email alert and LAN control make it well-suited to managed AV environments.

Product Description

The URP98-ERO-T succeeds the QE9850T as Planar's primary 98-inch interactive large-format display, incorporating current-generation direct-LED backlighting for improved uniformity across the 98-inch panel. The 20-point IR touch layer, combined with ERO-LCD optically bonded soda-lime glass, allows multi-user interactive sessions while maintaining panel protection against incidental contact. With a 5000:1 static contrast ratio and direct-LED illumination, the display renders both high-contrast signage content and detailed data visualizations with equal fidelity. MediaPlex Plus processing enables operators to view up to four simultaneous sources in configurable layouts — presets are stored and recallable by command, reducing operator steps in multi-source control environments. At 278 lbs, wall mounting requires structural planning, and the 600 x 400mm VESA pattern accommodates a wide range of commercial mounting solutions.
