55UH5E

What the LG 55UH5E is and why it has been discontinued

The LG 55UH5E is a 55-inch UHD signage display from LG's UH5E standard signage series, built for lobbies, corridors, showrooms and waiting areas where content must stay readable throughout the working day. LG has discontinued this model, so buyers reviewing it today are usually either extending an existing installation or comparing it with newer signage screens. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement that fits the same mounting and connection needs.

Picture quality and glare control for bright spaces

The panel offers a native resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, which gives four times the definition of Full HD, and a typical brightness of 500 nits. A 28% haze finish softens reflections from windows and ceiling lights, so menus, directories and wayfinding text stay legible in sunlit atriums. Support for HEVC video means high-resolution clips can play smoothly from a compatible source.

• Panel: 55-inch, 3,840 x 2,160 native resolution, 500 nits typical
• Surface: 28% haze anti-glare finish
• Inputs: three HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D, two USB 2.0 ports and audio
• Control: RS232C in and out, LAN (RJ45) and IR input
• Expansion: OPS-compatible for plug-in media players, with the KT-OPSF kit listed as optional

Networking, content and remote management

The embedded webOS signage platform lets you build content, schedule playlists and manage media without a separate PC, which reduces the number of boxes hidden behind a reception desk. A master display can coordinate other screens on the same network through the Group Manager, while the web-based Control Manager lets facilities staff monitor and control displays in several locations from internet-connected devices. The unit can also act as a wireless access point and supports Beacon and Bluetooth Low Energy for location-triggered messages. An optional cloud service from LG, Signage 365 Care, adds remote fault diagnosis.

Where it fits in Qatar

In a corporate office in West Bay, the 55-inch size suits a reception wall or lift lobby where visitors read directory and welcome content from a short distance. In a clinic in Al Sadd, two or three units can show queue numbers and health information in a waiting area that is air-conditioned all day. In a retail store in The Pearl, multi-screen mode can split one display into up to four input sources for product feeds and promotions. In a boardroom, the certified compatibility with Cisco Spark Room Kits helps teams that connect Doha with colleagues abroad.

What to plan for before installation

• The operating range is 0°C to 40°C with 10% to 80% humidity, so install it indoors in an air-conditioned space away from direct sun. Doha summer temperatures can exceed 45°C.
• The head weighs 16.6 kg and 21.1 kg packed, so plan for a secure wall fixing and enough people to lift it safely.
• The VESA mount is 300 x 300 mm. The optional wall bracket LSW350B and stand ST-201T are listed accessories.
• Typical power draw is 115 W with a 165 W maximum. The built-in supply accepts 100-240V at 50/60Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains.
• Bezels measure 12.1 mm at the top, 12.6 mm on each side and 15.7 mm at the bottom, which matters when planning several panels side by side.
