49XS2E

A 49-inch display built for glass frontages

The LG 49XS2E is a 49-inch Full HD display designed for the space between a shop window and the street, where the screen has to compete with daylight and reflections. Its 1,920 x 1,080 panel has a typical brightness of 2,500 cd/m², and the slim chassis measures 1,092.8 x 626.4 x 83.5 mm. It is a signage unit rather than a meeting-room display, so choosing its position starts with how it will be seen from outside.

Readable in sunlight and through polarized sunglasses

Brightness alone does not guarantee a readable screen. The XS series includes a QWP (quarter wave plate) feature that keeps the content visible to people wearing polarized sunglasses, which matters for drivers and pedestrians on a bright Doha street. The built-in ambient light sensor raises output when light is strong and lowers it in darkness, so the screen stays visible in daytime and draws less power at night.

Fan-less, slim and quiet for in-window installs

With no cooling fan, the 49XS2E is rated at operating noise under 25 dB, a level suited to waiting areas, lobbies and shops where a humming fan would be noticed. The 83.5 mm depth and the 9 mm top and bottom bezels (6.5 mm at the sides) help the screen sit neatly in a frame. The head weighs 20.2 kg and the packed unit weighs 24.7 kg, so plan for two people to handle it and check the fixing point first.

Where it fits in Qatar and what to plan for

In Doha, a retailer on a Msheireb shopping street could place the 49XS2E behind glass to show promotions to passers-by, while a bank branch in West Bay might use a unit close to its front window. A hotel lobby in Lusail could use it near the entrance where arriving guests see the content. Before any unit is fixed, a free SmartRooms Qatar site survey checks the wall, the glass, the sun exposure and the power point position.

The specification for this model does not list an operating temperature range, so confirm the exact position with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installing behind a sun-facing window, where summer temperatures pass 45°C. For mounting, the VESA pattern is 600 x 400 mm, and the optional landscape (WM-L640V) and portrait (WM-P640V) wall mounts are available. A Wi-Fi dongle (AN-WF500) can also be added as an option.

Public bodies, schools and companies buying several units can order against a purchase order (LPO) or a Monaqasat tender, and payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. The unit is covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar with your site details, mounting plan and quantity, and any lead time will be confirmed in the quotation.
