Sony is expanding its professional display portfolio in India with the launch of BRAVIA FW-98BZ30L. It’s a massive 98-inch 4K HDR display that is aimed at professional settings and commercial environments rather than your home entertainment setup.
Sony does offer smaller options in the BZ30L line as well. These include 43-inch, 50-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch, and 85-inch models. In this article though, let’s focus on the top-of-the-line 98-inch model.
Sony BRAVIA 98″ (BZ30L) Specs
The FW-98BZ30L boasts a 4K HDR panel with 440 nits peak brightness and an impressive 5000:1 contrast ratio. The panel supports HDR 10, HLG, and Dolby Vision HDR standards.
The display is powered by Sony’s Cognitive Processor XR, paired with XR Triluminos Pro-tech for more accurate and natural color reproduction (up to 95% DCI-P3 coverage). It also supports XR Motion Clarity and XR 4K upscaling for smoother motion and enhanced detail.
The panel features portrait and tilt mounting support, a wide 178° viewing angle, and a robust build that’s about 22% lighter and 28% slimmer-bezels than previous-gen displays.
The FW-98BZ30L runs on Android TV and includes 32GB of onboard storage with support for both Apple AirPlay and Google Chromecast. It can also run HTML5 content natively, removing the need for external signage players.
Professionals can take also advantage of “Pro Mode,” which disables remote access, hides labels, and locks settings — useful for public displays or secure environments.
As for I/O, the display comes with four HDMI ports, one Digital Audio output, one Analog Audio output two USB, one ethernet, and one composite video input port.
Security and tamper-resistance are covered too, with the ability to lock buttons, disable remote functions, and even save & copy display settings via USB for fleet deployments.
Sony’s sustainability efforts show up here as well. The display uses SORPLAS recycled plastic, features a compact package design for easier transport (with ergonomic handles), and reduces packaging ink. It’s also EPEAT Bronze certified in 23 countries and offers an ECO Dashboard to track energy usage.
Price and Availability in India
Sony has priced the FW-98BZ30L at Rs 15,00,000, and it’s scheduled to hit the Indian market starting April 15, 2025, via Sony’s authorized distributors. It comes with a 3-year standard warranty while buyers can extend it based on their business needs.
Sure, it’s not cheap—but if you’re building a high-impact commercial environment, this is the kind of display that you might want to check.
