LG 55EW5PG-S (Discontinued) · Replacements in Qatar

Name: LG 55EW5PG-S 55-inch Transparent OLED Signage Display
Brand: LG
SKU: lg-55ew5pg-s
Availability: Discontinued

Overview

The LG 55EW5PG-S is a 55-inch transparent OLED signage display supplied with a stand. LG has discontinued this model. Its panel is rated at 38% transparency and 150,000:1 contrast at Full HD resolution, so content can appear over shop windows, partitions and lobby glass while the space behind stays visible. It suits retailers, hotels and offices in Doha, West Bay and Lusail. Current owners and buyers looking for a replacement can request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar.

What the LG 55EW5PG-S is and how it works

The LG 55EW5PG-S is a 55-inch transparent OLED signage display supplied with a stand. Its pixels emit their own light, so the panel needs no backlight unit and no liquid crystal layer. That construction keeps the structure slim and lets the glass stay see-through, and LG rates the panel at 38% transparency under SET conditions. Viewers can see the products or room behind the panel while the content appears to hover in front of them.

LG has discontinued this model, so it is no longer in the manufacturer's current range. Organisations that already run units, and buyers comparing options, can ask SmartRooms Qatar for a quotation on a current equivalent that fits the same installation.

Panel performance for see-through content

The panel is Full HD at 1920 x 1080 on a 16:9 aspect ratio, and it can be mounted in landscape or portrait. Contrast is rated at 150,000:1, which keeps dark areas deep even when the screen is transparent. Brightness is listed at 150 nit at 100% APL and 400 nit at 25% APL, measured without the front glass, so placement against daylight needs testing before installation.

Colour: 1.07 billion colours with a BT709 120% colour gamut.
Motion: 120Hz refresh rate and 1ms G to G response time.
Viewing: 178º horizontal and vertical viewing angles.
Service life: 30,000 hours typical, specified for moving content at 18 hours a day, seven days a week.

Where it fits in Qatar

Three realistic placements show how the display is typically used:

A fashion or jewellery boutique in Msheireb or The Pearl, promoting new collections through the glass while merchandise stays visible behind the panel.
A hotel lobby in West Bay or a serviced apartment reception in Al Sadd, showing welcome and wayfinding messages without blocking the view through the space.
A bank branch or real estate sales office in Lusail, placing project highlights on a glass partition in a waiting or meeting area.

Heat needs careful planning. The operating range is 0 °C to 40 °C with 10% to 80% humidity. Qatar summers regularly pass 45 °C, and sun-facing glass can add heat, so the unit should sit in an air-conditioned space away from direct sunlight. Confirm room conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team before the position is fixed.

What to plan before installation

Weight and size: head weighs 28.3 kg and the monitor measures 1256.2 x 856.9 x 242 mm. Packed weight is 36.8 kg, or 44.1 kg with pallet.
Bezels: 7.9 mm on the top, right and left sides, and 168.6 mm at the bottom.
Power: built-in AC 100-240V, 50/60 Hz supply, typical 84 W, maximum 280 W, 0.5 W in standby.
Connections: one HDMI input, DisplayPort in and out, LAN in and out, RS232C in and out, and two USB 2.0 Type A ports. There is no HDMI output and no touch function, and no built-in speaker, though audio output is provided.
Software: webOS 4.0 with SuperSign CMS, SuperSign Control+, SuperSign WB, Connected Care and Mobile CMS, plus 16GB internal memory.
In the box: remote with two batteries, power cord, quick start guide, regulation book, RS232C adapter, 3 m HDMI cable and two cable holders.

The source data does not list stand dimensions or weight with the stand, so measure the mounting position and confirm these figures before ordering. A free site survey lets the team check the wall or base, and where power and network points sit relative to the unit.

Questions about 55EW5PG-S

What is the LG 55EW5PG-S used for?

The LG 55EW5PG-S is a 55-inch transparent OLED signage display with a stand, designed to show content over a see-through panel. It suits shop windows, hotel lobbies, bank counters and office partitions where people still need to see the products or room behind the screen. LG rates its transparency at 38%, so the background stays clearly visible while the content is shown.

Is the LG 55EW5PG-S still sold by LG?

No. LG has discontinued this model, so it is no longer in the current range. If you already operate units or are comparing options, SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent that suits the same space, mounting position and content plan. Share your site details and the number of units to receive a quotation.

How transparent is the screen and how sharp is the image?

LG rates the panel at 38% transparency under SET conditions, with a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 Full HD on a 16:9 aspect ratio. Contrast is rated at 150,000:1, and the panel offers 1.07 billion colours with a BT709 120% colour gamut. Viewing angles are 178º horizontally and vertically, so content remains readable from the side of the display.

Will the content be visible in bright daylight on a shop window?

The source data gives brightness of 150 nit at 100% APL and 400 nit at 25% APL, measured without the front glass. Those figures do not guarantee visibility against strong sunlight, so position the unit away from direct sun and test the content at the times of day when the shop is busiest. The SmartRooms Qatar team can review placement during a free site survey.

Does the display have built-in speakers?

No. The LG 55EW5PG-S has no built-in speaker. The data lists an audio output but no external speaker output, so the audio route is not a simple plug-in for every setup. If your content needs sound in a lobby or showroom, confirm the audio arrangement with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering.

Can it be mounted in portrait orientation?

Yes. The manufacturer lists both portrait and landscape operation. Portrait suits a shop entrance, corridor or directory-style sign where vertical content works better, while landscape suits horizontal messages across a window. Choose the orientation before fixing the mount, and have a qualified installer confirm the 28.3 kg head weight and wall or base support.

What temperature and humidity does it need in Qatar?

The operating range is 0 °C to 40 °C with 10% to 80% humidity. Summer temperatures in Qatar often exceed 45 °C, so the unit must be placed in an air-conditioned space, not in an unconditioned area or in sun-exposed glazing. Confirm the room conditions, including sunlight on the glass, with the SmartRooms Qatar team before the position is agreed.

Which inputs and outputs does it have?

The display has one HDMI input with HDCP 1.4, a DisplayPort input with HDCP 1.3 and a DisplayPort output. It also has LAN in and out, RS232C in and out, IR out sharing the RS232C port, audio out and two USB 2.0 Type A ports. It has no HDMI output and no touch function, so plan the media player or source device around these ports.

How is it managed across multiple screens?

The data lists RS232C control, LAN, SNMP, Wake on LAN, Auto Set ID and Crestron Connected. Software options include SuperSign CMS, SuperSign Control+, SuperSign WB, Connected Care and Mobile CMS. Local content scheduling, group management and fail over are also listed, and the unit has 16GB of internal memory. Confirm which software suits your network with the SmartRooms Qatar team.

Does the on-screen menu support Arabic?

Yes. The on-screen display languages listed for this model include Arabic alongside English, French, German, Spanish and many others. That helps Qatari organisations that run signage in both Arabic and English. If your team needs a specific menu language set on arrival, ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm it with your quotation.

What power does it draw and does it suit Qatar's 240 V supply?

The unit has built-in power rated AC 100-240V at 50/60 Hz. Typical consumption is 84 W with a maximum of 280 W, and standby draw is 0.5 W. Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains falls within the stated input range. Plan a dedicated outlet close to the mounting point, and confirm the plug arrangement with your quotation.

How should a hotel lobby in West Bay plan for this unit?

Start with a free site survey, which lets the SmartRooms Qatar team check the wall or glass, the 1256.2 x 856.9 x 242 mm monitor size, the 168.6 mm bottom bezel, and the nearest power and network points. Confirm the lobby stays within the 0 °C to 40 °C operating range. For a hotel group ordering several units, an LPO can cover the full order, and quotations are usually issued within one working day.
