Sony BZ53L Overview
The Sony BRAVIA FW-98BZ53L 98″ UHD 4K HDR Commercial Monitor is a 780 nits bright, Android OS based professional display. Featuring 24/7 continuous operation, flexible installation, a full suite of professional apps and settings, and Sony’s Deep Black Non-Glare Coating, the FW-98BZ53L is ideal for large and bright spaces, like retail showrooms and corporate lobbies.
With four HDMI inputs, you can connect a wide variety of devices with up to 4K 120 Hz video capability and HDCP 2.3. The FW-98BZ53L features an integrated USB media player and Android OS, allowing it to be deployed as a stand-alone display solution, or with RS-232 and IP control capability it can be easily integrated into a larger A/V network. Additionally, the FW-98BZ53L has an S-Center speaker input to allow it to be used as the center channel speaker when connecting to a Sony audio system with S-CENTER OUT.
780 nits Typical Brightness
Brightness is important when creating highly visible and engaging digital signage. The 98″ Bravia BZ53L shines with a 780 nits bright display that will be visible in all but direct sunlight. Full array local dimming boosts peak brightness even further to 1500 nits.
Deep Black Non-Glare Coating
Bright or harsh room lights can mean gray, washed-out images. Sony’s Deep Black Non-Glare Coating combines anti-glare and low-reflection technologies to reduce reflections and boost contrast. A microscopic unevenness is added to the surface of the display panel that reflects incidental light in all directions. Reflections become a whitish blur that’s less noticeable to viewers than sharply reflected light. A special coating is added to the surface of the panel to bounce light off the surface of the clear layer as well as the panel surface beneath. Interference between the reflected rays causes cancellation, reducing reflections seen by viewers.
High Refresh Rate
The FW-98BZ53L sports a 4K 120 Hz panel, teamed with XR Motion Clarity and Motionflow XR to reproduce fast paced on-screen movement with unprecedented smoothness, clarity, and realism.
Advanced Video Processing
Advanced Sony picture processing technologies ensure your content looks its very best. The FW-98BZ53L with Cognitive Processor XR opens up an unprecedented viewing experience that immerses you even more deeply in the scene. Discover an even wider palette of beautifully natural colors with extended hue and saturation, vivid shades, and realistic textures. Cognitive Processor XR accesses vast amounts of picture data, intelligently recreating lost details and texture with upscaled image sources. XR Motion Clarity analyzes scene data to ensure on-screen action stays smooth, bright, and clear without blur, even in fast-moving scenes. With XR Contrast Booster, bright areas are brighter and dark areas darker, adding depth to scenes without lost highlights or shadow details.
Flexible Installation
The FW-98BZ53L is engineered from the ground up for quicker, easier, more flexible installation in retail and corporate environments. The ability to carry the 98″ model vertically (portrait style) gives easier access in elevators and stairways. The ergonomically positioned lower horizontal handles are easy to grab, making lifting easier and more comfortable. Signal connections, networking and other interfaces are conveniently side mounted for easy installation and access when the display is in portrait position. The Sony logo is discreetly positioned on the edge of the display’s slim 20mm bezel, so it is not distracting your audience from the immersive images. Install the FW-98BZ53L in portrait or landscape orientation to suit any corporate or retail space, with a tilt range of -15 to +20 degrees for even greater flexibility.
Professional Settings
The BZ53L allows you to fine-tune settings to suit the demands of corporate or retail environments. Disable input or remote control functions, remove labels, and block buttons to avoid tampering when the screen is being used in public spaces. Customize and store display settings, then copy them easily from display to display via USB flash memory.
Signage Made Simple
Informing and guiding visitors with digital signage in retail stores and corporate spaces has never been simpler. Built-in support for HTML5 makes it easy to display interactive signage content on BRAVIA without the need for a dedicated set-top box, media player, or PC. On-board BRAVIA Signage Free (BSF) software automatically plays out HTML content, video, and photos when a USB stick memory is slipped into BRAVIA.
Google Meet Compatible
Get Google Meet from the onboard Google Play Store, and pair the BZ40L with a compatible webcam for easy video meetings.
Wireless Screen Mirroring
Easily mirror content wirelessly from a handheld device onto the display with built-in support for Apple AirPlay and Google Chromecast.
32GB Internal Storage
The internal memory on some other displays is eaten up by the operating system, leaving little space for your own apps and content. The FW-98BZ53L doubles internal storage from previous models to a generous 32GB, giving loads more room on board to hold apps, photos, videos, and digital signage.
