What the LG 55SM5KB is

The LG 55SM5KB is a 55-inch Full HD standard signage display from the SM5K series, listed under the variant 55SM5KB-B. LG has discontinued this model. Organisations that already run this display, and buyers comparing it with newer panels, can use this page to request a quote for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement that suits the same wall, mount and content system.

Panel facts that matter for signage

The panel has a 1,920 x 1,080 Full HD resolution and a brightness of 450 cd/m². Full HD suits menus, schedules, wayfinding maps and simple video loops, provided content is prepared at the panel's native resolution. The 450 cd/m² rating suits corridors, reception areas and meeting spaces where lighting can be controlled. Bezels of 11.9 mm at the top, left and right and 18 mm at the bottom help when several panels sit side by side on one wall.

• Screen size: 55 inches
• Brightness: 450 cd/m²
• Resolution: 1,920 x 1,080 (Full HD)
• Bezel: 11.9 mm top, left and right; 18 mm bottom
• Dimensions: 1,238 x 714.9 x 54 mm, with a 38.6 mm thinnest section

Inputs, outputs and external control

The inputs are HDMI with HDCP2.2, DisplayPort with HDCP1.3, DVI-D with HDCP2.2, analogue RGB, audio in, USB 3.0 and an SD card slot. A DisplayPort output (SST, DP1.2a) and an audio output let you pass the signal or sound onward. External control is covered by RS232C in and out, an RJ45 connection, an IR receiver and a pixel sensor input. The source data lists no external speaker output, so plan audio through the audio output or the room's sound system.

Software, media players and expansion

The quad-core SoC is designed to run several tasks at the same time, and the platform runs webOS 2.0. Content can be managed with SuperSign-w lite or SuperSign-c. The display accepts an OPS type module, and the LG MP500 or MP700 external media player can be attached. Optional accessories listed for this model include an OPS kit (KT-OPSA), an HD Base T unit (EB-B100), a pixel sensor (KT-SP0) and a VESA adapter (AM-B330S). Check which of these your content setup needs before you order.

Where it fits in Qatar

Three realistic setups show the fit:

• A clinic in Msheireb using a portrait-oriented panel in its waiting area for queue numbers and health information.
• A private school in Al Rayyan lining its corridors with notice displays, where several units share one content system.
• A hotel corridor in Lusail showing event schedules and wayfinding near its meeting rooms.

What to plan before ordering

At 17.5 kg the head needs a wall or stand rated for its weight. The wall bracket LSW350B, the stand ST-492T and the VESA adapter AM-B330S are listed as optional accessories. A free site survey lets our team check wall construction, cable routes and clearance before installation. Keep the display away from direct sunlight and from entrances exposed to summer heat above 45°C and dust storms. The source data does not give an operating temperature range, so confirm the environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team before choosing a location.

Government bodies and schools can raise a purchase order (LPO) or bid through Monaqasat tenders, and payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order is accepted.
