49SM5KB

The LG 49SM5KB is a 49-inch standard signage display from the SM5K series, built around a 1,920 x 1,080 Full HD panel with a brightness rating of 450 cd/m². LG has discontinued this model. SmartRooms Qatar can still help organisations that already own one, buyers comparing it with newer options, and anyone who needs a replacement for the same role.

What the LG 49SM5KB is built for

This display suits content that runs for long periods in public-facing spaces: menus, wayfinding, schedules, announcements and promotional loops. The panel is Full HD rather than 4K, so it suits content designed at 1080p and the viewing distances typical of corridors, waiting areas and reception counters. A quad-core SoC handles several tasks at once, which helps scheduled content play back smoothly.

Inputs, outputs and media player options

On the input side you get one HDMI port with HDCP 2.2, one DisplayPort with HDCP 1.3, one DVI-D with HDCP 2.2 and one analog RGB input, plus an audio input, a USB 3.0 port and an SD card slot. Control is available through RS232C in, RJ45, an IR receiver and a pixel sensor input. Outputs include a DisplayPort 1.2a output in SST mode, an audio output and an RS232C output.

For content playback, the model is listed as OPS compatible, so a built-in player can be fitted using the optional OPS Kit (KT-OPSA). Alternatively, the external MP500 or MP700 media player can be attached. The source data also lists compatibility with SuperSign-w lite and SuperSign-c.

Size, bezel and wall mounting

The monitor measures 1,102.2 mm wide, 638.5 mm high and 54 mm deep, with the thinnest section at 38.6 mm. The head unit weighs 14.3 kg. Bezels measure 11.9 mm at the top, 12.4 mm on each side and 15.5 mm at the bottom. The rear mount follows the 300 x 300 mm VESA pattern. Optional accessories listed for this model include the ST-492T stand, the LSW350B wall bracket and the AM-B330S VESA adapter.

Where it fits in Qatar

• Clinic waiting area in Al Sadd: queue numbers, appointment information and health awareness loops on a panel above the reception desk.
• Office lobby in Msheireb or West Bay: visitor directions and meeting room schedules, with the screen placed away from direct sunlight through large windows.
• Retail store in a Lusail shopping centre: looping promotions and in-store directions on interior walls viewed from a short distance.

What to plan before you order

With a head weight of 14.3 kg and a 300 x 300 mm VESA pattern, check the wall construction and choose the bracket before ordering. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys, and we can confirm the mounting option within the quotation. The source data does not list an operating temperature range, so confirm the environment before installing the display near windows, in sun-exposed lobbies or in dusty areas. Power details for Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz supply and BS 1363 sockets are not listed in the source, so the team will confirm them with you.

Government bodies, schools and universities can buy through a purchase order (LPO) or government tenders, including Monaqasat. Payment is accepted by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order.
