What the LG 55UP5Q-EQ is

The LG 55UP5Q-EQ is a 55-inch UHD signage display from the UP5Q series, designed to show content continuously in commercial spaces. LG has discontinued this model. If your organisation already runs one, or you are comparing it with a newer panel, this page sets out the facts that matter for a replacement, an expansion or a like-for-like comparison.

Its 3840 x 2160 panel plays 4K content at 60Hz from HDMI and DisplayPort sources. The panel runs webOS 8.0, and 32GB of internal memory means content can be stored and scheduled on the screen itself.

Connectivity and software for a multi-screen plan

Three HDMI inputs, one DisplayPort input, an RJ45 LAN port, a USB 3.0 Type A port, a USB 2.0 Type A port and RS232C input and output ports cover most source and control arrangements. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are included. Local scheduling, group management, USB plug and play, fail-over and tile mode up to 15 by 15 displays give network administrators options as a video wall grows.

Software compatibility is listed for SuperSign CMS, SuperSign Control+, SuperSign WB, SuperSign Cloud, Mobile CMS and Connected Care. The on-screen menu supports Arabic alongside English, which suits Qatari offices and schools that work in both languages.

Where it fits in Qatar

Reception areas and lobbies in Doha office towers, hotels in West Bay or The Pearl, and clinic waiting rooms can use a 55-inch panel for wayfinding, timetables and announcements. A 55-inch size is practical where viewers stand a few metres away. In a school in Al Wakrah, a set of these displays can share schedules and notices along corridors, with the menu set to Arabic for staff who prefer it.

A meeting room in Msheireb or Lusail can use an HDMI input to show a presenter's laptop, then return to a welcome loop when no meeting is running. Companies with a head office in Doha and branches in Al Khor can manage content from one place through a compatible SuperSign platform.

What to plan before you buy

The rated operating range is 0°C to 40°C, with 10% to 80% humidity. Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45°C, so plan an air-conditioned room, keep the screen out of direct sunlight and leave space for airflow around the cabinet. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to check any site near windows before fixing a bracket. The IP5X rating covers dust protection, which helps in dusty areas, but it is not a rating for outdoor use.

The panel weighs 16.1 kg, or 20.5 kg packed, and measures 1231.4 x 707.2 x 29.7 mm without its IR sensor. It uses a VESA 300 x 300 interface. The optional Slim Wall Mount (WB21LMA/B) and Wall Mount (OLW480A/B) are listed by the manufacturer. The built-in power supply accepts 100 to 240 V at 50/60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V supply, and an electrician should confirm the socket and circuit before installation. A free site survey checks wall structure, cable routes and ventilation first.

Ordering a replacement or additional units

Because the 55UP5Q-EQ is discontinued, a quotation should name a current equivalent or a compatible replacement that matches your mounting points and content platform. Schools, government entities and companies buying several units can order against a purchase order (LPO) or a government tender, and SmartRooms Qatar delivers to all eight municipalities of Qatar with professional installation.

Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar with your planned quantity, location and mounting method, and our team will reply with options, usually within one working day.

Questions about 55UP5Q-EQ

Is the LG 55UP5Q-EQ still sold new by LG?

LG has discontinued the 55UP5Q-EQ, so the manufacturer no longer lists it as a current model. If your site needs a 55-inch 4K signage display, SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement. Existing owners can still use the datasheet and the LG B2B Partner Portal documents to plan spares, mounting and software set-up.

What is this display best used for?

It is a 55-inch 4K UHD signage display built to show content continuously in lobbies, corridors, meeting rooms and retail areas. Its 3840 x 2160 resolution keeps text sharp at typical reading distances in a reception area, and webOS 8.0 with 32GB internal memory lets staff schedule playlists directly on the screen. A single unit suits a Doha office reception or a shop entrance where a 55-inch size fits the viewing distance.

Which video inputs and HDCP versions does it support?

The panel has three HDMI inputs and one DisplayPort input, both rated for 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz. The HDMI inputs support HDCP 2.2 and 1.4, and the DisplayPort input supports HDCP 2.2 and 1.3, so protected content from compatible sources can play. Check the output of your media player or PC before ordering, especially if it sends 4K at a different refresh rate.

Does the on-screen menu support Arabic?

Yes. The on-screen display language list includes Arabic, alongside English, French, German and many other languages. This suits Qatari offices, clinics and schools where staff work in Arabic and English side by side. The menu language is separate from your content, so how Arabic signage text appears depends on the files you publish and the fonts they use.

Can it be installed in a hot lobby in Doha?

Only in a suitably air-conditioned space. The operating range is 0°C to 40°C with 10% to 80% humidity, and Qatar summer temperatures can exceed 45°C. Keep it out of direct sunlight, away from glazing and hot equipment, and make sure cabinet ventilation is not blocked. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to check any site near windows before you fix the bracket.

How heavy is it, and what wall mounts are available?

The head weighs 16.1 kg and the packed weight is 20.5 kg, so two people should handle lifting and fixing. It uses a VESA 300 x 300 mounting interface. The manufacturer lists the Slim Wall Mount WB21LMA/B and Wall Mount OLW480A/B as optional accessories. A free site survey confirms the wall structure, fixing points and cable route before anything is drilled.

What are the physical dimensions and bezel widths?

The monitor measures 1231.4 x 707.2 x 29.7 mm without the IR sensor. The side and top bezels are 8.9 mm wide and the bottom bezel is 12.9 mm. The carton measures 1360.0 x 810.0 x 152.0 mm. When planning a multi-screen wall, the narrow side bezels reduce visible gaps, but you should still allow room for cable clearance and ventilation behind the panel.

Does it have built-in speakers?

It has built-in speakers rated at 10 W each, two in total, plus an audio output for external sound systems. Built-in speakers are suitable for short announcements in a corridor or small reception. A larger hall or event area would usually need the audio output connected to a separate amplifier and speakers, which can be scoped during the site survey.

How do I manage several displays across different sites?

The software list includes SuperSign CMS, SuperSign Control+, SuperSign WB, SuperSign Cloud, Mobile CMS and Connected Care. Group Manager and local network sync help organise displays, while SNMP and status mailing support monitoring. An organisation with a head office in Doha and branches in Lusail or Al Khor can run content from one platform rather than updating each screen by hand.

Can it be integrated with building control systems?

It has RS232C input and output ports, an RJ45 LAN port and an IR input, and supports Wake on LAN and HDMI-CEC. It is also listed as Crestron Connected. Facilities teams at hospitals, universities or government buildings can use these interfaces to switch the display on or off and control it from a central system, depending on the control protocol they plan to use.

Which safety and EMC certifications are listed?

The source lists CB/NRTL for safety, FCC Class B, CE and KC for EMC, ErP (NewErP) and Energy Star, and ePEAT for US-only registration. These details matter if your tender asks for compliance documents. Confirm with the SmartRooms Qatar team which documents apply to your project, because the certification list comes from the manufacturer and may vary by region.

We need several units for a school. How should we order?

Schools and government entities buying several units can issue an LPO or reference a government tender, and SmartRooms Qatar delivers to all eight municipalities of Qatar. Because this model is discontinued, specify a current equivalent or compatible replacement in your request, and plan identical mounting points and one content platform across all screens. Request a quote, and the team will confirm estimated lead times with the quotation.
