LG 32SM5KD (Discontinued) · Replacements in Qatar

Name: LG 32SM5KD 32-inch FHD 400 nits Standard Signage Display
Brand: LG
SKU: lg-32sm5kd
Availability: Discontinued

Overview

The LG 32SM5KD is a 32-inch Full HD signage display rated at 400 nits typical brightness, with a webOS platform and embedded content management so playlists can be built without a separate PC. It suits reception areas, corridors and information points in Qatari offices, clinics and schools. LG has discontinued this model, so SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement on request.

What the LG 32SM5KD is built to do

The LG 32SM5KD is a 32-inch signage display with a 1,920 x 1,080 Full HD panel and 400 nits typical brightness. It is made for looping promotional content, wayfinding and information screens in indoor spaces, not for touch interaction or video conferencing. LG has discontinued this model. This page suits existing owners, buyers comparing it with newer signage, and anyone seeking a replacement of similar size.

Playback, content management and streaming

A quad-core system-on-chip and the webOS platform run content directly on the display. The embedded content management system lets staff edit content, create playlists and schedule playback on the unit itself. Transitions between videos, images and HTML pages are gapless, so no black frames appear between items. For live material, the panel accepts RTSP, RTP, HLS and UDP multicast IP video streams.

Layout, connectivity and control

Picture-by-picture and picture-in-picture modes divide the screen into up to two areas in landscape or portrait, so a schedule can sit beside a promotion. Inputs include two HDMI ports, DisplayPort, DVI-D, RGB, audio and USB 3.0, and the outputs are DisplayPort and audio. For control, the unit offers RS232C in and out, an RJ port, an IR receiver and a pixel sensor. The detachable logo allows landscape or portrait installation, and built-in speakers carry sound for announcements and videos.

Panel: 32-inch, 1,920 x 1,080, 400 nits typical
Size and weight: 729.4 x 428.9 x 55.5 mm, 5.4 kg head
Mount: VESA 200 x 200
Power: 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 60 W typical, 45 W energy saving
Operating range: 0 to 40 °C, 10% to 80% humidity

Installation, power and environment planning

Bezels measure 13 mm on the sides and top and 18 mm at the bottom. The listed safety approvals are UL, cUL, CB, TUV and KC, EMC approvals are FCC Class A, CE and KCC, and the unit is listed as Energy Star 7.0. The 100-240 V input covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz supply.

Summer temperatures in Qatar can pass 45 °C, while the rated operating range tops out at 40 °C. Keep the display indoors in air-conditioned space, away from direct sun. The conformal coating on the main circuit board guards against dust, iron powder and humidity, but it does not make the unit suitable for outdoor sites.

Where it fits in Qatar

A clinic waiting room in Al Sadd: looping health messages and queue information in a cooled space.
A private school corridor in Al Wakrah: timetables and bilingual notices, with the panel mounted in portrait for tall columns of text.
A bank branch in Msheireb: service promotions beside a static schedule, using a split-screen layout.

Questions about 32SM5KD

Has LG discontinued the 32SM5KD?

Yes. LG has discontinued the 32SM5KD, so SmartRooms Qatar offers a current equivalent or a compatible replacement instead of this model. Tell us where the screen will be installed, what content it will show and how many units you need. We will issue a quotation, usually within one working day, with the options that fit your site.

What is this display best suited to in Qatar?

It suits indoor information and promotional loops, such as clinic waiting rooms, school corridors and bank lobbies in Doha. Its 1,920 x 1,080 Full HD panel and 400 nits typical brightness give a clear picture at normal viewing distances in air-conditioned areas. It is not designed for touch interaction or video conferencing, so ask us about other models if you need those.

Do I need a separate media player or PC?

No external media player can be attached to this model. Content runs on the built-in quad-core platform, and the embedded content management system lets staff edit content and create playlists on the unit. The display is OPS compatible, and an optional OPS kit (KT-OPSA) is listed, so ask us whether that route suits your content plan.

Can it show live video feeds?

Yes. It supports RTSP, RTP, HLS and UDP multicast IP video streams for real-time content and live broadcasts. A campus in Education City could push a live event feed to lobby screens, or a company in Lusail could relay a town hall to a reception area, provided the network can carry the stream reliably.

Can it show two sources side by side?

Yes. Picture-by-picture and picture-in-picture modes split the screen into up to two areas, in either landscape or portrait. An office in Al Sadd could show a meeting schedule beside a sponsor video, or a retail unit could split a product video from a promotional message on the same panel.

Can it be mounted in portrait orientation?

Yes. The logo is detachable, so the panel can be installed in landscape or portrait, and the B2B interface includes a portrait mode. Portrait layouts suit narrow corridors and pillars in a West Bay mall, where tall columns of text read better than wide images.

Will it run on Qatar's power supply?

The power input is rated 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains. Typical consumption is 60 W, falling to 45 W in Smart Energy Saving mode. A power cord is included, so confirm it matches your wall socket before ordering, or ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to advise on the socket type.

Can it be installed outdoors or in a hot shop front?

No. The rated operating range is 0 to 40 °C with 10 to 80 percent humidity, while Qatar summers can pass 45 °C. Install it indoors in an air-conditioned space away from direct sunlight. The conformal coating on the main circuit board protects against dust, iron powder and humidity, but it does not make the display suitable for outdoor use.

What mounting options and space do I need?

The rear uses a 200 x 200 VESA pattern, the head weighs 5.4 kg, and the overall size is 729.4 x 428.9 x 55.5 mm. Optional accessories include the ST-322T stand and LSW230B wall bracket. We recommend a free site survey before drilling into a clinic corridor or mall wall, so the wall, cable route and viewing height are checked first.

Which software manages and monitors it?

The specifications list SuperSign Premium as the content management software and SuperSign Link for control and monitoring. The built-in CMS handles playlist creation on the display itself. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm the software setup that best suits your number of screens and your network.

How is the display controlled?

The unit has RS232C in and out, an RJ port, an IR receiver and a pixel sensor, and a remote controller with two batteries is included. Facilities teams can integrate RS232C control with a room system, while the remote covers everyday use. Confirm the control method your building or AV system requires before ordering.

Can a school or government office buy it?

Yes. Schools, ministries and other public bodies can order against a purchase order (LPO) or a government tender, including Monaqasat. Payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. For several units, such as a row of screens for a school corridor, send the quantity with your request so the quotation covers the full set.
