Large rooms
Boardroom display: 85", 98" or a 2×2 video wall
A boardroom puts the last chair 20 feet or more from the wall. That rules out anything under 85". The question is whether one big panel does it or whether you need a video wall, and for most rooms the single panel wins.

Dimensions, weight and power from Samsung's product data. The video wall row is four panels; Samsung lists the VM55B-U at 1920 x 1080, 500 nits and 24/7, with a bezel of a few millimetres per edge.
Why we usually pick the 98
One QM98C has no seams across a spreadsheet, plugs into the video bar with one HDMI cable and runs off one outlet (363 W typical). The 2×2 wall is about 95.6" wide, a bit larger than the 98's 86.3", but it adds a processor, a precision mount, four power runs and thin lines through every face on a video call.
The 85 is right when the far chair is closer to 20 feet than 25, or the wall can't take 124.1 lb. It's 92.4 lb and costs $4,750.
When a video wall makes sense
Rooms deeper than about 25 feet, rooms where the wall is wider than 16:9 (a 3×2 wall), or rooms where the screen shows dashboards and camera feeds side by side all day. Also any room where the delivery path can't take a 98-inch box: four 55-inch panels go up a stair that a 98 won't.
Video walls are a design job. We quote the mount, processor and install together. Ask for a video wall quote.
Boardroom details that get missed
- Blocking. At 124.1 lb the 98 needs solid wood or steel blocking in the wall, put in before the drywall is painted if you can.
- Two cameras or one. A long table often needs a camera at the screen and a second view. Settle that before the screen height is fixed.
- The door. The boardroom is the room everyone tries to book. A panel at the door that matches your calendar saves the arguments; compare them on room scheduling displays.
- Power. A 98 at 363 W and a video bar on one duplex is fine; a 2×2 wall at 880 W should have its own circuit.

Boardroom displays: questions
What size display for a boardroom?
For a table where the far end is 20 to 25 feet from the screen, an 85" or 98". The QM98C is 49.2" tall and readable to about 24 feet by our 6× height rule. Past that, a 2×2 video wall or a second screen.
Is a 98-inch display better than a video wall?
Up to 98 inches, usually yes: no seams, no video wall processor, one power cord. Four VM55B-U panels cost $8,196 before the mount and processor, against $7,950 for one QM98C.
How heavy is a 98-inch display?
The QM98C is 124.1 lb by Samsung's figures, about 170 lb boxed. It needs three installers, a liftgate delivery and wall blocking or a floor stand.
Will a 98-inch display fit through our doors?
The panel is 86.3" wide and the box is bigger. It usually goes through a standard door on its side, but measure every turn, elevator and stair from the dock to the room before you order.
Do you install boardroom displays?
CrownTV does. Its published display-plus-install price is $6,500 for an 85" and $9,000 for a 98" (checked October 22, 2026). Video walls are quoted per room.
