Overview

The Elo 5551L is a 55-inch 4K UHD interactive digital signage display with infrared touch supporting 10 touch points. It is discontinued; the manufacturer has replaced it with the 5553L. Its 450-nit LED panel, 3.5-inch depth and 3-year manufacturer warranty suit lobbies, retail floors and meeting rooms in Doha, West Bay and Lusail. Request a quote for the current equivalent or a compatible replacement.

What the Elo 5551L is built for

The Elo 5551L is a 55-inch widescreen signage display with a 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) LCD panel and a 16:9 aspect ratio, designed for commercial locations where a large touch surface has to attract and guide people. Its infrared touch layer supports 10 touch points, so several visitors can interact with the screen at the same time. The manufacturer has discontinued this model and replaced it with the 5553L. This page is written for organisations that already run the 5551L, buyers comparing it with newer models, and anyone looking for a current equivalent.

Picture, touch and brightness figures that matter

The LCD panel has a typical brightness of 450 nits, while the infrared touch layer is rated at 405 nits. Contrast is rated at 4000:1, viewing angles reach 178 degrees horizontally and vertically, and the typical response time is 6.5 ms. The panel is rated at about 1.07 billion colours. For video sources, the HDMI and OPS path runs at 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz, while the DisplayPort input runs at 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz, so the input chosen should match the motion content on screen.

Video inputs: HDCP-capable HDMI, DisplayPort 1.1a and an OPS path
Touch: USB type B touch interface with 10 touch points
Control: RS232 and RJ45 remote connectors, with an on-screen menu accessed through a tethered control box
Audio: four internal 5 W stereo speakers, line-in and headphone output

Where it fits in Qatar

In a hotel lobby in West Bay, the 5551L can sit beside the reception desk and show wayfinding, restaurant hours and local maps. Guests browse the content themselves, which reduces repeated desk enquiries during busy check-in periods. In a shopping mall in Lusail, the screen can be used in portrait orientation as a store directory at an interior entrance or corridor of an air-conditioned building. In a government service centre in Doha, a self-service information point can help visitors find counters and forms, although the on-screen menu does not include Arabic, so the content plan needs to account for that.

What to plan before installation

Operating temperature is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius in portrait or landscape mode, falling to 0 to 35 degrees in tabletop mode or with an OPS module fitted, with operating humidity between 20 and 80 percent. In Qatar's summer heat, install the unit in an air-conditioned indoor space and keep it out of direct sunlight coming through glazing. The monitor weighs 45.4 kg unpackaged and 55 kg in its shipping box, and measures 1267 mm by 738 mm by 90 mm. It mounts on a VESA 600 by 600 mm pattern. Because the weight is substantial, a free site survey lets our installers check wall structure, cable routes and power points before fitting day. The manufacturer also states that the unit meets a 4-inch maximum wall protrusion requirement when used with an Elo low-profile mount, which helps in narrow corridors.

Questions about 5551L

Is the Elo 5551L still sold, or is there a replacement?

The manufacturer has discontinued the Elo 5551L and replaced it with the 5553L. SmartRooms Qatar can quote for the 5553L or another compatible Elo signage display that fits your mounting, software and content plans. Tell us how many screens you need and whether they replace units already in place, and we will confirm availability with the quotation.

How would a hotel in West Bay use a 55-inch touch signage screen?

A hotel lobby in West Bay can place the 5551L beside the reception desk to show wayfinding, dining hours and local maps. Guests tap through the content themselves, which reduces repeated desk enquiries during busy check-in periods. The 4K panel keeps small text clear at close range, and the 178-degree viewing angle lets people approaching from either side read the screen.

What resolution and screen size does the 5551L offer?

The 5551L has a 54.6-inch diagonal active matrix LCD with 3840 x 2160 4K UHD resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. The active area measures 1209.6 mm by 680.4 mm. The panel is rated at about 1.07 billion colours and a 4000:1 contrast ratio, which suits detailed product imagery, maps and video loops in commercial spaces.

How does the touch function work and how many touch points does it support?

The 5551L uses infrared touch technology that supports 10 touch points, giving a tablet-like response across the screen. It connects to a host computer or media player through a USB type B touch interface. The manufacturer states that the touchscreen is sealed to the bezel and to the LCD, which matters in busy lobbies where the screen gets frequent contact.

Will the screen be bright enough for a Doha lobby with window light?

The LCD panel has a typical brightness of 450 nits, and the infrared touch layer is rated at 405 nits. That suits indoor lobbies with controlled lighting. For a location facing windows, place the screen out of direct sunlight, and check the position with our installers during the free site survey before you commit to a mounting point.

Can the 5551L be installed in portrait orientation for a mall directory in Lusail?

Yes. The operating temperature range is stated for both portrait and landscape modes, from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. A vertical directory suits a shopping mall in Lusail placed at an entrance or corridor inside an air-conditioned building, where it can show store names and floor levels clearly while visitors search by touch.

How does the 5551L cope with Qatar's summer heat and humidity?

The operating range is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius in portrait or landscape mode, dropping to 0 to 35 degrees in tabletop mode or with an OPS module fitted, with operating humidity of 20 to 80 percent. Outdoor temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45 degrees in summer, so install the unit only in an air-conditioned indoor space and confirm the room conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team.

Does the on-screen menu support Arabic?

The on-screen display lists English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Japanese, and Arabic is not among them. Arabic content can still play from a connected media player, but the menus and controls will be set in one of the listed languages. Confirm your bilingual content plan before ordering so installation is set up correctly.

What power supply and power consumption does the 5551L need?

The internal AC supply accepts 100 to 240 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz, which covers the 240 V, 50 Hz mains used in Qatar. Typical consumption is about 156 W when on and 15 W in sleep mode. The box includes power cables with several plug types, so confirm that the supplied plug suits BS 1363 sockets before installation.

Can I add a computer module or OPS kit to the 5551L?

Yes. The optional accessories include an OPS kit (E102270) and a range of i3, i5 and i7 ECMG3 computer modules, with options for no operating system, Windows 7 or Windows 10. With an OPS module fitted, the operating temperature range is limited to 35 degrees Celsius. Ask our team which module suits your software and content platform before we prepare the quotation.

How heavy is the display, and what mount does it need?

The monitor weighs 45.4 kg unpackaged and 55 kg in its shipping box, and measures 1267 mm by 738 mm by 90 mm. It uses a VESA 600 by 600 mm mounting pattern, and an Elo wall mount kit is available as an option. Given the weight, we recommend a free site survey to check the wall structure before fitting.
