55TA3E

What the LG 55TA3E is and why it is discontinued

The LG 55TA3E is a 55-inch Full HD display from LG's TA3E touch signage series, with touch built into the panel itself. LG has discontinued this model, so this page is written for organisations that already own one, buyers comparing it with newer displays, and anyone who needs a replacement for a unit in service. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement, matched to the mounting, touch and connectivity needs of your existing installation.

Built-in touch and writing without extra hardware

Infrared touch is integrated into the 55-inch screen, so there is no overlay frame to buy or fit. The display supports up to 10 touch points, allowing several people to work with a wayfinding map, a menu or a collaborative board at the same time. The embedded writing application runs on the display itself, so it can act as a whiteboard without a separate PC or software. The 2.8T protection glass has an anti-glare finish, which is useful where the screen faces windows or bright lobby lighting.

Display performance and where it fits in Qatar

The IPS panel is rated at 450 nits typical brightness without protection glass, and its wide viewing angle keeps content readable when people view it from the side. Full HD resolution at 55 inches suits wayfinding screens, touch boards for classrooms and meeting rooms, and information points.

• Schools and training centres in Al Wakrah or Education City: a touch board for group work in a mid-sized classroom, or an interactive wall in a shared area.
• Hotel lobbies and serviced apartments in West Bay or The Pearl: a guest information point or directory screen.
• Government offices in Msheireb: a visitor check-in or service guide where users interact by touch.

Connectivity, control and content management

Inputs include two HDMI ports, DisplayPort, DVI-D, RGB, an audio input and USB 3.0, with DisplayPort and audio outputs. Control options are RS232C in and out, RJ45, an IR receiver input and a sensor input. The series works with AV control systems, so several displays can be monitored and managed from one location. The webOS platform supports HTML5 apps and an SDK for system integrators. Software listed for this model is SuperSign CMS and SuperSign Control+, and the manufacturer notes that compatibility may change over time. Picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture modes support two sources, and automatic signal switching moves to a backup input when the current signal drops.

Planning the installation in Qatar

At 1,278 x 748.8 x 71.4 mm with a head weight of 28.0 kg (33 kg packed), this display needs a wall or stand plan before delivery. It has a 300 x 300 mm VESA mount interface, and optional accessories include the ST-492T stand, the LSW350B wall bracket, the AM-B330S VESA adapter and the KT-OPSA OPS kit. Power is built in, with typical consumption of 100 W and maximum of 120 W, and the stated input is 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz. The operating range is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius with 10% to 80% humidity. Summer temperatures in Qatar regularly exceed 45 degrees Celsius outdoors, so the unit should be sited in an air-conditioned indoor space, and the environment should be confirmed with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installation. A free site survey checks the wall, sightlines, power points and ventilation before we quote.
