Brand: Hisense
SKU: hisense-55sof25pw
Availability: Discontinued

Overview

The Hisense 55SOF25PW is a 55-inch wall-mounted portrait display for full outdoor use, with an IP55 enclosure, a 2,500-nit screen and a rated range of -20°C to 45°C. Its Full HD panel and HDMI, USB, LAN and RS232 inputs suit entrance wayfinding and promotional loops in Doha and Lusail. Hisense has discontinued this model, so request a quote for a current equivalent or compatible replacement.

What the 55SOF25PW is and where it sits

The Hisense 55SOF25PW is a 55-inch portrait display from the SOF25PW wall-mount series, built for full outdoor operation. Hisense has discontinued this model, so it is no longer in the manufacturer's current range. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement for organisations that need the same kind of outdoor signage.

The panel is a 16:9 Full HD screen at 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, with an active area of 1,210 x 680 mm and a viewing angle of 178 degrees horizontally and vertically. Supplied for portrait use, its tall format suits directories, queue information, menus and vertical promotional content.

Brightness, sealing and the outdoor environment

Outdoor screens are judged first on brightness and protection. This model is rated at 2,500 nits with a contrast ratio of 1,200:1, and an automatic brightness control uses a light sensor to adjust output as daylight changes. The IP55 enclosure protects against dust and water jets. The cabinet has a galvanised steel body with powder coating, 6.8 mm tempered and laminated anti-reflective glass, an airflow fan and overheating protection.

The rated operating ambient range is -20°C to 45°C, with humidity from 5% to 90%. Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45°C, so the mounting position needs shade, clear airflow and a site check before the wall mount is fixed.

Inputs, storage and connectivity

The display offers two HDMI inputs, one HDMI output, an AV output, a USB 2.0 port, a LAN port, a TF card slot and an RS232 port. Its Android 7.1 system runs on a quad-core 1.5 GHz processor with 2 GB of DDR4 memory and 16 GB of eMMC storage, which the TF card slot can expand to 128 GB. Wi-Fi or wired LAN is supported, and 3G/4G connectivity is an optional extra.

The system language is listed as Chinese or English. If your signage must show Arabic menus, confirm the language options with our team before you place an order, and prepare Arabic content as image or video files where needed.

Where it fits in Qatar

Building entrances in West Bay or Msheireb: a portrait directory or visitor information screen at a lobby doorway exposed to dust and heat.
Walkways and retail frontages in Lusail or The Pearl: a vertical promotional loop facing pedestrians, positioned away from direct afternoon sun.
Schools and drop-off zones in Al Wakrah or Al Rayyan: outdoor notices for pick-up times and safety messages, with shade planned around the cabinet.

What to plan before ordering

At a net weight of 118 kg, with a cabinet measuring 1,515 mm high, 920 mm wide and 158 mm deep, this is a heavy wall-mounted unit. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys and professional installation. We recommend a survey before fixing it, to check the wall structure, bracket position, cable routes and power point.

The data lists a power supply of AC 100/220V at 50/60 Hz, with a built-in power supply and maximum consumption of 380 W. Qatar's mains supply is 240 V at 50 Hz, so the power arrangement must be confirmed against this specification. The packing dimensions are 1,680 x 1,180 x 380 mm, so plan delivery access and secure storage on site. Products are covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar for a current equivalent or compatible replacement. For government ministries, schools and corporate buyers, we accept purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat, and quotations are usually issued within one working day.

Questions about 55SOF25PW

We already run this model in Al Rayyan. How do we find a replacement?

The 55SOF25PW is discontinued by Hisense and is no longer in its current range. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement with the same outdoor, portrait signage use. To speed up the quotation, send the wall dimensions, the existing bracket position, the power point location and the content you play. Our team will recommend the closest match, and quotations are usually issued within one working day.

Which Qatar sites suit a 55-inch outdoor portrait display?

Sites where people walk past an exposed wall suit this model best, such as a building entrance in West Bay, a clinic entrance in Al Sadd, a logistics gate in the Industrial Area or a drop-off point near Hamad International Airport. The 16:9 portrait format carries directories, queue information and wayfinding. Before you request a quote, confirm the wall, its sun exposure and the nearest power point.

Will the screen stay readable on a Doha walkway at midday?

The screen is rated at 2,500 nits with a 1,200:1 contrast ratio, and an automatic brightness control uses a light sensor to adjust output as daylight changes. These ratings help on a sunny walkway, but sun angle and reflections still matter. Place the unit away from direct midday sun where you can, and review the viewing angle during the free site survey before the wall mount is fixed.

Can a sun-facing car park wall in Doha take this display in summer?

The rated operating ambient range is -20°C to 45°C, with humidity from 5% to 90%. Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45°C, so a west or south-facing wall in a car park needs shade and clear air around the cabinet. The unit has an airflow fan and overheating protection, but ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to review the exact position during the site survey.

What inputs and ports does the 55SOF25PW have?

It has two HDMI inputs, one HDMI output, an AV output, a USB 2.0 port, a LAN port, a TF card slot and an RS232 port. The RS232 port can be used for serial control from an external control system. The TF card slot supports expanded memory up to 128 GB on top of 16 GB of eMMC storage. Plan cable routes and access before mounting, as the bracket holds the unit in place on the wall.

Does it connect to a network, and is 4G included?

Wi-Fi or wired LAN connection is listed as supported. 3G/4G connectivity is an optional extra rather than standard equipment. Sites without a suitable wired network, such as a car park or a construction hoarding area, should ask whether the 4G option is available for this unit before the quotation is finalised. Confirm signal strength at the mounting position during the site survey.

Can the on-screen menu be set to Arabic?

The data lists the system language as Chinese or English, and Arabic is not listed, so do not assume Arabic menus are available. For bilingual signage in Doha, prepare Arabic and English content as image or video files and confirm the language options with the SmartRooms Qatar team before you request a purchase order.

How heavy is it, and what does mounting involve?

The net weight is 118 kg, and the cabinet measures 1,515 mm high, 920 mm wide and 158 mm deep. Mounting needs a wall and bracket rated for that load, along with a lifting plan for delivery and fixing. SmartRooms Qatar offers professional installation and free site surveys, so the wall structure, fixings and cable routes can be checked before the unit arrives on site.

What power supply does it need, and does it suit Qatar's mains?

The data lists AC 100/220V at 50/60 Hz, with a built-in power supply and a maximum consumption of 380 W. Qatar's mains supply is 240 V at 50 Hz, so the power arrangement must be confirmed against this specification before ordering. Our team will check the available power point during the site survey and include the power requirements in the quotation.

Would this display suit a school drop-off area in Al Wakrah?

Yes, if the school needs a visible outdoor notice board at a drop-off zone. The 55-inch portrait format suits daily pick-up times and safety instructions, and the IP55 enclosure handles dust and water jets. Because the screen faces a hot outdoor area, plan shade and check the 45°C operating limit, then request a quote with site photos.

Can a government authority in Msheireb order this through an LPO or tender?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat, and payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Because this model is discontinued, the purchase order should name the current equivalent confirmed in the quotation, so the specification you approve matches the unit you receive.

Could this model work on a hotel forecourt in The Pearl?

A hotel forecourt in The Pearl can use a tall portrait screen for arrival information, service notices or event directions, but it needs careful planning. The 2,500-nit rating and IP55 enclosure help with dust and daylight, while the 45°C upper operating limit requires shade or ventilation. Fix the unit at a height and angle that suits guests, and confirm the power point and cable route during the survey.
