Spectacular 780 nit brightness, and more

Brightness matters. In busy retail showrooms or corporate lobbies, 98” BRAVIA BZ53L shines with an extraordinary 780 nit screen brightness that can’t be missed, even in light-flooded spaces. Full Array Local Dimming boosts peak brightness further still to an eye-popping 1500 nits.

Deep Black Non-Glare Coating ensures clarity and contrast, even in bright lighting

Bright or harsh room lights can mean gray, washed-out images in retail stores and shopping malls, corporate lobbies, conference rooms and classrooms. Sony’s Deep Black Non-Glare Coating combines anti-glare and low-reflection technologies. Reducing reflections and boosting contrast, it’s the key to dynamic visuals bursting with true-to-life color and detail that inspire everyone, from corporate visitors and staff to shoppers and students.

Deep Black Non-Glare Coating: how does it work?
Image to demonstrate anti-glare technology
Anti-glare

A microscopic unevenness is added to the surface of the display panel. Incident light is diffusely reflected in all directions, becoming a whitish blur that’s less noticeable to viewers than sharply reflected light.

Low Reflection

A special coating is added to the surface of the panel. Incident light rays bounce 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.

XR Contrast

Bright areas are even brighter and dark areas are darker, adding depth to scenes without losing highlights or shadow details.

Exceptional dynamic range with Full Array Local Dimming

Our Full Array LED screen technology delivers superior contrast compared with conventional edge LED screens. It’s also more energy efficient, helping you enjoy spectacular high-contrast images while consuming less power.

With conventional edge LED backlight

Conventional displays use just one row of LEDs to balance light across the screen. This means dark parts of the image are not as dark, and light parts not as light as they should be.

With LEDs across the whole screen, LED power and intensity can be adjusted much more precisely according to the scene. Light goes exactly where it’s needed, while dark parts of the screen stay dark.

Professionally designed for flexible installation

Other so-called professional displays are little more than televisions with a few additional features thrown in as an afterthought. Our flagship 98” BRAVIA BZ53L is engineered from the ground up for quicker, easier, more flexible installation in retail and corporate environments.

Lighten the load

The 98” BRAVIA BZ53L weighs around 44 lb less than Sony’s earlier-generation 100” 100BZ40J model, lightening the load on installation teams.

Side-mounted terminals

All signal connections – including audio, video, networking, control and USB ports – are mounted on the side of the display to simplify installation.

Subtle logo positioning

The Sony logo is discreetly positioned on the edge of the display’s beautifully slim 0.79 in bezel, so there’s nothing to distract your audience from immersive, super-size images.

Portrait and tilt

Install BRAVIA in portrait or landscape orientation to suit any corporate or retail space, with a tilt range over -15 to +20 degrees for even greater flexibility.

Robust usability

BRAVIA FW-98BZ53L contains a host of useful functions for business, such as purpose-driven applications and setting customization to make daily work more efficient.

Professional settings

BRAVIA makes doing business even easier, allowing 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.

Simple signage

Informing and guiding visitors with digital signage in retail stores and corporate spaces has never been easier. On-board BRAVIA Signage Free (BSF) software automatically plays out HTML content, video and photos copied onto a USB stick memory when it’s slipped into BRAVIA. It’s that simple.

Meet more easily

Get Google Meet from the Google Play Store and pair BRAVIA with a compatible webcam for easy video meetings on the big 98” screen.

Simple screen mirroring

Easily mirror content wirelessly from your own handheld device onto BRAVIA with in-built support for Apple AirPlay and Google Chromecast.

HTML5 logo
Flexible content layout

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

Get great pictures fast

Forget fiddling with display settings – focus on getting amazing results without fuss. One-Step Setting offers presets tuned to your environment, including meeting room, vivid signage, natural signage, and graphics. Just pick a preset: BRAVIA instantly configures picture mode, input, control settings, and more.

Large 32 GB 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 98” BRAVIA BZ53L offers a very generous 32 GB internal storage – giving loads more room onboard to hold apps, photos, videos, and digital signage.

Sustainability in every scene

With growing demand for ever larger display screens, there is also the risk of greater resource and energy use. However, Sony’s sustainability commitments are realizing efficiency gains from product development right through to displaying content and viewing screens.
