49SE3KE

Where a 49-inch full HD signage panel fits

The LG 49SE3KE pairs a 49-inch screen with a 1,920 x 1,080 native resolution and 350 cd/m² typical brightness. That combination suits content read from a short distance, such as menus, room schedules, wayfinding and looping promotions. Its slim bezels, 11.9 mm on the sides and top and 18 mm at the bottom, reduce the gaps visible when several units are grouped side by side.

LG has discontinued this model. If your organisation already runs it, this page helps you plan additional units or a like-for-like replacement. If you are comparing it with newer displays, the specifications below show what this generation offered.

Scheduling content and managing power

The on-screen home menu shows key display information at a glance, and the remote controller lets staff build playlists with set times. Content can be copied to a USB drive from one screen and loaded onto others, so each display does not need to be configured by hand. The data names SuperSign CMS for content management and SuperSign Control and Control+ for monitoring.

Two settings matter for long running hours. The panel is rated for 18 hours of daily operation, which suits sites open for long periods. A scheduled screen refresh can be set to reduce image sticking, a common risk on static menus that stay on screen all day. The screen can also be switched off while remaining reachable over the network. Typical and maximum power draw are 60W and 95W, and the Smart Energy Saving figure is 42W.

Connectivity, control and sound

• Two HDMI inputs, one DVI-D input and an RGB input for PCs and older sources
• USB input for content playback and cloning
• RS232C in and out, RJ45 in and IR in for control
• OPS slot compatibility and support for MP500 or MP700 external media players
• Crestron Connected certification for professional AV control systems
• Built-in 20W speakers (10W x 2) with audio output set to Off, Fixed or Variable

Certifications cover the IEC 60950-1, EN 60950-1 and UL 60950-1 safety standards, FCC Class A, CE and KC EMC approvals, and Energy Star 8.0. Conformal coating on the main circuit board protects it against dust, iron powder and humidity, which helps where maintenance may expose the electronics to moisture.

Where it fits in Qatar and what to plan for

Three common Qatar scenarios suit this size and specification:

• A shopping mall or retail unit in West Bay or The Pearl running promotional loops from an OPS or external player, mounted inside an air-conditioned shopfront.
• A private school in Al Wakrah or Education City fitting out corridors and foyers with announcements and timetables, using USB cloning to set up several screens together.
• A government office or clinic in Msheireb or Al Sadd with a reception screen controlled from a Crestron room system.

Plan the environment before ordering. The operating range is 0°C to 40°C with 10% to 80% humidity, which rules out unconditioned spaces, open-air galleries and sun-facing windows, where temperatures in Qatar can pass 45°C in summer. The power input of 100-240V at 50/60Hz covers Qatar's 240V supply, but the data does not state the plug type, so confirm it against BS 1363 sockets. A free site survey checks wall structure, sightlines and cable runs. The head weighs 14.3 kg, so a robust bracket and two installers may be needed on a tall wall.

Requesting a quote for this model or a replacement

Send SmartRooms Qatar the number of units, the site, the mounting type and whether the new displays must match existing screens.
