LG 55EW5G-V (Discontinued) · Replacements in Qatar

Name: LG 55EW5G-V 55-inch Transparent OLED Signage Display
Brand: LG
SKU: lg-55ew5g-v
Availability: Discontinued

Overview

The LG 55EW5G-V is a 55-inch transparent OLED signage display rated at 38% transparency, so messages appear over the room behind the glass. Its 1,920 x 1,080 FHD panel and 3.0 mm tempered front glass suit shop windows, hotel lobbies and showrooms in Doha. LG has discontinued this model, so SmartRooms Qatar will quote a current equivalent or compatible replacement on request.

What this 55-inch transparent OLED display does

The LG 55EW5G-V places a 55-inch OLED panel between the viewer and the room behind it. Its pixels produce their own light, so the screen needs no backlight or liquid crystal layer, and the glass stays see-through. The manufacturer rates transparency at 38%, compared with 10% for conventional LCD transparent displays. A visitor can read a promotional message while still seeing the products, reception or lobby behind it.

Specifications that decide the purchase

Connectivity, control and included parts

Inputs include HDMI (HDCP 1.4), DisplayPort (HDCP 1.3), two USB 2.0 Type A ports, LAN, RS232C and an external IR receiver input. Outputs are DP Out, audio out, RS232C out with IR out and LAN. Software features include fail over, screen rotation, external input rotation and tile mode settings. The box includes a 2 m DP cable, a 1.5 m LAN cable, a 1.5 m RS232 cable, a 3 m LC cable, a remote controller and MCX harness cables linking the panel to the signage box.

Where it fits in Qatar

Retail frontages: a store on a West Bay or The Pearl street placing offers on the window while the shop floor stays visible.
Hotel and serviced apartment lobbies: a Msheireb or Lusail property showing arrival information without blocking the view of the lounge.
Showrooms and museum-style displays: an Education City or Doha exhibition where text sits over the exhibit it describes.

What to plan before installation

The head measures 1225.5 x 810.1 x 4.9 mm and weighs 11.6 kg. The signage box measures 782.8 x 238.4 x 34.7 mm and weighs 3.4 kg. No VESA mount interface is listed, so plan mounting around the optional two-pole stand (ACC-S-EW5F) or a custom structure. The operating range is 0 to 40 °C at 10% to 80% humidity. Qatar summer heat outdoors can exceed 45 °C, so keep the panel in an air-conditioned room and confirm cooling before fitting. Power is rated 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, drawing 250 W typical and 280 W maximum. The panel has no speakers. Book a free site survey to check structure, cable routes and sight lines before ordering.

Questions about 55EW5G-V

What is the LG 55EW5G-V and who is it for?

The LG 55EW5G-V is a 55-inch transparent OLED signage display that lets viewers read content while seeing through the glass. It suits retailers wanting window messages, hotels planning lobby displays and exhibition teams that need text over exhibits. LG has discontinued this exact model, so buyers should compare it with a current equivalent before committing, and SmartRooms Qatar can prepare that comparison on request.

Has LG discontinued the 55EW5G-V?

Yes. The manufacturer has discontinued this model, so a quotation will focus on a current equivalent or a compatible replacement rather than the exact unit. If your organisation already operates this panel, send the model name and site details so the SmartRooms Qatar team can check compatibility with your existing content and control setup. Quotations are usually issued within one working day.

How transparent is the panel compared with a standard LCD transparent display?

The manufacturer rates the 55EW5G-V at 38% transparency and quotes 10% for conventional LCD transparent displays. The difference comes from the OLED design, which has no backlight or liquid crystal layer. A museum in Doha placing text over a display case would still need to judge how the background and room lighting affect readability, so a site visit helps set realistic expectations before ordering.

What resolution and brightness does it deliver?

The native panel resolution is 1,920 x 1,080 (FHD). Brightness is rated at 150 nit at APL 100% and 400 nit at APL 25%, measured without glass. The contrast ratio is 150,000:1 and colour depth is 10-bit with BT709 120% gamut. For a shop window in West Bay, compare these figures against daylight and reflections at the frontage before choosing this unit.

Can it be placed in a shop window in West Bay during summer?

The operating temperature range is 0 to 40 °C at 10% to 80% humidity. Qatar summer heat outdoors can exceed 45 °C, so a window position must sit inside an air-conditioned space with cooling confirmed before installation. A SmartRooms Qatar site survey can check orientation, cooling capacity and glare from the street before the unit is ordered, which avoids costly changes after fitting.

What inputs and outputs does it have?

Inputs are one HDMI port (HDCP 1.4), one DisplayPort (HDCP 1.3), two USB 2.0 Type A ports, a LAN port, RS232C and an external IR receiver input. Outputs are DP Out, audio out, RS232C out with IR out and LAN. An exhibition team in Education City can therefore manage content over the network or a serial link, provided the control equipment on site supports those connections.

Does the panel have built-in speakers?

No. The specification lists no speakers, but the panel provides an audio output. A hotel lobby in Msheireb that needs sound should plan an external amplifier or speakers connected through that output. Confirm the route from the audio output to the amplifier during the site survey, so cabling and ceiling access are checked before the panel is fixed in place.

Will it run on Qatar's 240 V mains supply?

Yes. The power input is rated AC 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz, and the power unit is built in. Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains falls within that rating. Typical draw is 250 W and maximum draw is 280 W, equal to 853.03 BTU/hr typical and 955.39 BTU/hr maximum, so air conditioning load should be planned when several units run in one room.

How is it mounted, and does it fit a standard VESA bracket?

The source data lists no VESA mount interface, so a standard VESA bracket should not be assumed. An optional two-pole stand (ACC-S-EW5F) is available. The head measures 1225.5 x 810.1 x 4.9 mm and weighs 11.6 kg, while the signage box measures 782.8 x 238.4 x 34.7 mm and weighs 3.4 kg. Plan the wall or floor structure around these dimensions before ordering.

How wide are the bezels, and why does it matter for planning?

The bezel is 7.9 mm on the top, right and left sides and 121.7 mm along the bottom. The thin sides keep the visible image close to the edges of the glass, while the wide bottom border changes how the panel sits in a frame, against a shelf or beneath a fascia. Measure the intended opening and mounting height before confirming the layout with SmartRooms Qatar.

Can several units be tiled together?

The manufacturer describes the design as semi-assembled and expandable, and the software includes a tile mode setting. These features let installers arrange units in several ways to suit an existing space, rather than one fixed format. Before ordering a set, confirm the target layout, the number of units, the cable routes and how each unit will receive its content.

Can a school or government office buy it through an LPO or tender?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat, and payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. A school fitting out a transparent display for a reception or library area can send the quantity and site location with its LPO request, and the quotation will reflect a current equivalent since this model is discontinued.
