LG 49UM5N-E (Discontinued) · Replacements in Qatar

Name: LG 49UM5N-E 49-inch UHD Digital Signage Display
Brand: LG
SKU: lg-49um5n-e
Availability: Discontinued

Overview

The LG 49UM5N-E is a 49-inch UHD signage display with a 3840 x 2160 IPS panel, 500 nit typical brightness and 24/7 operation rating. It offers three HDMI inputs, a DisplayPort input, built-in Wi-Fi and webOS 6.0 for local content scheduling. LG has discontinued this model, so organisations that already own it or need a replacement should request a quote for a current or compatible equivalent from SmartRooms Qatar.

What the LG 49UM5N-E is and who it suits

The LG 49UM5N-E is a 49-inch UHD signage display from the UM5N series, built to run content for long hours in reception areas, corridors, lobbies and waiting rooms. LG has discontinued this model, so this page serves organisations that already own it, buyers comparing it with newer displays, and anyone who needs a replacement. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current or compatible equivalent that performs the same role.

Picture quality and the numbers that matter

The 3840 x 2160 IPS panel offers four times the pixel count of Full HD, which keeps small text and fine graphics readable when people stand close to the screen. The 500 nit typical brightness, 178 x 178 degree viewing angle and 10-bit colour depth (1.07 billion colours) keep the image consistent when viewed from the side. The BT709 95% colour gamut covers the range used for most video and graphic work. The rated lifetime is 50,000 hours minimum, and the display is rated for 24/7 operation.

Connections and network control

Three HDMI inputs and one DisplayPort input each accept 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz, so most media players and laptops connect directly. The HDMI output runs at 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz and passes the signal on to a second screen in a daisy chain. RS232C in and out, an IR input, an RJ45 LAN port and a USB 2.0 Type A port support control and local content. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, 16GB internal memory and webOS 6.0 allow local scheduling, screen grouping and tile mode up to 15 x 15, and the display can be managed through SuperSign CMS, SuperSign Cloud or Crestron-connected systems.

Where it fits in Qatar

Clinic reception in Al Sadd: a 49-inch screen above the waiting area showing queue numbers, directions and health messages in Arabic and English.
Hotel lobby in The Pearl: wayfinding panels and event listings scheduled by time of day from one central network.
Multi-branch ministry in Doha: one content team publishing to screens in several service halls through group management.
University corridor in Education City: the display turned to portrait orientation for notices and timetables in a narrow passage.

Heat, power and installation planning

The rated operating range is 0 °C to 40 °C with 10 to 80 percent humidity. Qatar summer temperatures outdoors can exceed 45 °C, so place this display in an air-conditioned indoor space, away from direct sun and heat-soaked glazing. Confirm the exact site conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installation.

The display has built-in power rated AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz, a range that covers Qatar's 240V, 50 Hz mains. Typical consumption is 120W and maximum is 160W, and smart energy saving mode is listed at 84W. The head weighs 11.4 kg, or 14.4 kg packed, so plan for two people to lift it and check the wall structure before mounting. It uses a 300 x 300 VESA interface, and optional mounts include the WB21LMA/B slim mount, the OLW480A/B wall mount and the AM-B330S adapter. Face-down tilt is rated to 30 degrees at 40 °C, and the IP5X rating covers dust protection.

Questions about 49UM5N-E

What is the LG 49UM5N-E designed for?

It is a 49-inch UHD signage display built to play content continuously in reception areas, lobbies, corridors and waiting areas. Its 3840 x 2160 IPS panel and 24/7 operation rating suit clinics, hotels and offices that need screens running all day. Built-in speakers rated 10W x2 can also support short audio announcements.

Is the LG 49UM5N-E still sold by LG?

No. LG has discontinued this model, so it is no longer in the current range. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current or compatible replacement with a similar 49-inch size, UHD resolution and VESA mounting. Send us your wall dimensions, input requirements and content management software so we can recommend the right equivalent.

Can it run 24/7 in a Doha shopping mall or hospital corridor?

It is rated for 24/7 operation and has a rated lifetime of 50,000 hours minimum. However, its operating range is 0 °C to 40 °C, so it should sit in an air-conditioned indoor corridor rather than an open or unconditioned area. Our team can confirm the exact position during the site survey.

What temperature and humidity can it handle?

The rated operating range is 0 °C to 40 °C, with 10 to 80 percent humidity. Summer temperatures outdoors in Qatar can exceed 45 °C, so keep the display out of direct sunlight and away from glazing that heats up. Ask our team to check any position near an entrance or window before installation.

Which inputs and outputs does it include?

It has three HDMI inputs and one DisplayPort input, each accepting 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz. It also includes an HDMI output at 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz, RS232C in and out, an IR input, an RJ45 LAN port, a USB 2.0 Type A port and an audio output. Check that your media player can output 4K at 60Hz before you order.

Can I daisy-chain several units from one source?

Yes. The HDMI output passes the signal to a second display, and IR control can be daisy-chained through RS232C in and out. The HDMI output runs at 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz, so confirm the resolution and frame rate each downstream screen needs in a lobby wall before planning the chain.

How do I manage screens across several sites or branches?

The display runs webOS 6.0 with local content scheduling, group manager, fail over and local network sync. It works with SuperSign CMS, SuperSign Cloud, Mobile CMS and Connected Care, and supports SNMP monitoring. A ministry with service halls in different districts can publish from one content team and group screens by location.

Does it support Arabic menus?

The on-screen menu lists Arabic among its language options, alongside English and many other languages. This suits offices in Doha that work in Arabic and English side by side. Whether your content management software handles Arabic text as needed should be checked with the SmartRooms Qatar team before rollout.

Can it be installed in portrait orientation?

Yes. It supports both portrait and landscape use, with screen rotation and external input rotation settings. This suits a narrow university corridor in Education City or a directory board beside a lift, where height matters more than width.

How much does it weigh and how should it be mounted?

The head weighs 11.4 kg and 14.4 kg packed, with dimensions of 1102 x 634 x 57.7 mm without IR. It uses a 300 x 300 VESA interface, and optional mounts include the WB21LMA/B, OLW480A/B and AM-B330S adapter. Book a free site survey so the wall and mount are checked before a two-person installation.

What do I need to order several units for a school or government office?

Send a purchase order or LPO with the quantity you need. Your quotation will confirm the specification, delivery to your municipality and installation. We also handle government tenders, including Monaqasat, and quotations are usually sent within one working day. Because this model is discontinued, ask for a current equivalent in the same request.
