Stunning 4K HDR picture quality is complemented by flexible customisation options and professional features for easy integration, setup and content sharing in today’s connected AV environments.

Main features

Spectacular 780 nit brightness

In busy retail showrooms or corporate lobbies, this LFD shines with a whopping 780 nits screen brightness. Full array local dimming further increases the maximum brightness to 1500 nits!

Anti-reflection coating for deep blacks

Sony's anti-reflection coating for deep blacks reduces reflections and improves contrast - the key to dynamic video graphics full of true-to-life color and detail. Incident light is reflected diffusely in all directions, resulting in a whitish blur that is less noticeable to viewers than sharply reflected light.

Cognitive Processor XR

This 98" BRAVIA with Cognitive Processor XR, the world's first cognitive intelligence picture processor, delivers an unprecedented visual experience that immerses you even more in the scene.

Professionally designed

This 98" BRAVIA lets you adjust settings to suit the needs of your business or retail environment. Disable input or remote control functions, remove labels and lock buttons to prevent tampering when the screen is used in public spaces. Customise and save display settings and easily copy them between displays via USB flash memory.

It's also designed for quicker, easier and more flexible installation in retail and business environments. Ergonomically positioned bottom horizontal planes are easy to grip, making lifting easier and more comfortable.

Side-mounted terminals

All signal connections (audio, video, network, control and USB) are mounted on the side of the display for easy installation.

32 GB internal memory

The 98" BRAVIA doubles its internal storage from 16 GB to 32 GB, giving you more room for apps, photos, videos and digital signage.

Stunning pictures in fast manner

One Step Setup offers presets optimised for your environment, including Meeting Room, Vivid Signage, Signage and Natural Graphics. Simply choose a preset and BRAVIA will instantly configure picture settings, input control and more.

BRAVIA Signage Free (BSF) built-in software

BRAVIA Signage Free (BSF) built-in software automatically plays HTML, video and photo content copied to a USB stick when inserted into BRAVIA.

Remote business meetings made easy

Download Google Meet from the Google Play Store and pair BRAVIA with a compatible webcam for simple video meetings on the large 98" screen. Easily cast content wirelessly from your mobile device to BRAVIA with built-in support for Apple AirPlay and Google Chromecast.

Flexible content layout

Built-in HTML5 support means BRAVIA can be used to display interactive signage without the need for a set-top box, media player or dedicated PC. On-screen content can be freely laid out using 4K video, images and even HDMI input.

Vertical and tiltable

BRAVIA can be installed vertically or horizontally to suit any business or retail space, with a tilt range of -15 to +20° for even greater flexibility.

Easier access

A small shipping carton makes it easy to transport. The ability to transport the LFD vertically allows for easier access to elevators and stairs.

Greater sustainability

As the demand for larger LFDs increases, there is a risk that resource and energy use will also increase. Sony’s sustainability commitments are driving efficiency improvements from product development to manufacturing.
