49UH5E

What the LG 49UH5E is built for

The LG 49UH5E is a 49-inch UHD signage display from the UH5E series, and the manufacturer has discontinued it. This page suits organisations that already run the model and need to extend or service their installation, buyers comparing it with newer displays, and anyone looking for a replacement for a single screen in a reception area, corridor or meeting room. The panel offers a native resolution of 3,840 x 2,160, and its typical brightness of 500 cd/m2 helps content stay visible in well-lit rooms.

Its 28% haze non-glare coating reduces reflections from strong lighting, so text remains readable in a lobby that faces large windows. Because the model was designed as a standard signage unit, the best way to judge it is to match its ports, control options and content tools against what your site needs.

Connectivity, control and content tools that matter

• Inputs: three HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D, audio and two USB 2.0 ports.
• Control: RS232C in and out, RJ45 LAN and an IR input.
• Software: an embedded content management system, a Group Manager and Control Manager web monitoring on the webOS platform.
• Multi-screen: PBP mode for up to four input sources, and PIP mode for a main and a sub screen at the same time.

Wireless features include content mirroring over a Wi-Fi network, Beacon and Bluetooth Low Energy support for real-time promotions, and a virtual router function that can act as a wireless access point for mobile devices. Sensors such as GPIO, NFC/RFID and temperature units connect over USB. The optional Signage 365 Care service adds cloud-based remote status checks to help diagnose faults.

Where it fits in Qatar

• A clinic waiting area in Doha can show queue numbers and health awareness messages on a timed schedule, managed from the embedded CMS without a separate PC.
• A training centre in Education City can use PBP mode to show a course timetable alongside another video source on the same panel.
• A boardroom in Lusail needs the Crestron and Cisco Spark Room Kit compatibility to be planned from the start, so the room controller and video conference setup work together.

Planning the installation

Start with the environment. The operating range is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius with 10% to 80% humidity. Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45 degrees Celsius, so choose an air-conditioned indoor position and avoid direct sun falling on the screen through glazing.

The monitor measures 1,103.2 x 648 x 38.6 mm and weighs 13.3 kg, with 17.7 kg packed. It uses a 300 x 300 mm VESA mounting pattern. Optional accessories include a wall bracket (LSW350B), a stand (ST-201T) and a VESA adapter (AM-B330S). SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey, which is worth booking before you fix a heavy panel to a wall.

Power is built-in, rated 100-240V at 50/60Hz, with a typical draw of 105 W and a maximum of 150 W. The specification lists CB/NRTL safety, FCC Class A, CE and KC EMC certifications.

Discontinued model: next steps

LG has discontinued the 49UH5E, which is also listed as the 49UH5E-B. Organisations that already own units can ask SmartRooms Qatar to quote for matching accessories or a compatible replacement. Share the number of screens, the room types and your control system when you request a quote, and the team will recommend a current equivalent and confirm any lead time within the quotation.

Request a quote for the LG 49UH5E or a current replacement, and include mounting, control and quantity details so the quotation covers the full installation.
