Overview

The LG 55UV5N-EP is a discontinued 55-inch UHD signage display with a 3840 x 2160 IPS panel, 500 nit typical brightness and a 24/7 operation rating. Its built-in webOS 6.0 supports local content scheduling and group management. Suited to reception areas and corridors in Doha and beyond. Existing owners and buyers comparing options should request a quote for a current equivalent or compatible replacement.

What the LG 55UV5N-EP is and why it matters

The LG 55UV5N-EP is a 55-inch signage display from the UV5N series, built for public-facing screens that show menus, wayfinding, announcements and promotional loops. LG has discontinued this model, so this page is for organisations that already run one, buyers comparing it with other displays, and anyone who needs a replacement for the same job. Request a quote for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement.

Panel performance: resolution, brightness and colour

The 3840 x 2160 IPS panel has four times the pixels of Full HD, so text and fine detail stay crisp at corridor and lobby viewing distances. Edge backlighting and 500 nit typical brightness suit lit indoor spaces. Contrast is 1,200:1, colour covers 95% of BT.709, and the 10-bit panel shows about 1.07 billion colours. A 178 x 178 viewing angle keeps content readable from the side, and a 28% haze surface treatment diffuses light falling on the screen.

Connections and daisy-chaining across screens

The display offers three HDMI inputs and one DisplayPort input, each carrying 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz with HDCP support. An HDMI output at 3840 x 2160 and 30Hz passes a signal to the next screen in a chain. Control runs through RS232C input and output, an RJ45 LAN port, an IR input and a USB 2.0 Type A port. Because there is no separate IR output, IR daisy-chaining runs over RS232C. An audio output sits alongside two 10W built-in speakers.

Software, scheduling and remote management

The display runs webOS 6.0 with 16GB of internal eMMC storage, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, plus auto brightness and gyro sensors. Local content scheduling, group management and a fail over function are available, along with picture-in-picture and up to four-way picture-by-picture layouts. Tile mode can span up to 15 x 15 panels for a video wall. Network management includes SNMP, Wake on LAN, status mailing and Crestron connectivity, and the on-screen menu includes Arabic.

Where it fits in Qatar

In a West Bay hotel lobby, a screen beside reception can show event schedules and directions in Arabic and English. In a private school in Al Wakrah, a corridor unit can carry announcements and timetables, with its speakers suited to short audio messages. In an Al Sadd clinic waiting area, patient information loops can sit at eye height. Every location must be air-conditioned. The operating range is 0°C to 40°C, and Qatar summers can exceed 45°C, so an unconditioned lobby or open terrace is unsuitable. Humidity should stay between 10% and 80%. The IP5X rating gives protection against dust for indoor sites, but it is not an outdoor rating.

What to plan before ordering

Head weight is 16.1 kg, and packed weight is 20.5 kg.
Dimensions are 1231.4 x 707.2 x 29.7 mm without the IR unit, with a VESA 300 x 300 mounting pattern.
Optional mounts include the WB21LMA/B slim wall mount, OLW480A/B wall mount and AM-B330S adapter.
Power input is 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz, with typical draw of 110W and maximum of 160W.
Face-down tilt is rated up to 30 degrees at 40°C.

SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys before wall-mounting, which is worth booking for corridor and lobby walls. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and we accept purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat. Request a quote for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement, and include the number of screens, the mounting location and your content system.

Questions about 55UV5N-EP

Is the LG 55UV5N-EP still available new from LG?

LG has discontinued the 55UV5N-EP, so new units may not be available from the manufacturer. SmartRooms Qatar can quote for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement, which the team will compare against your 55-inch size, UHD resolution and connections. Send us your current model and mounting location, and the quotation will set out the options available.

Would this 55-inch display suit a hotel lobby in West Bay?

Yes, for wayfinding, event schedules and welcome content that runs through the day. Its 3840 x 2160 IPS panel, 500 nit typical brightness and 24/7 operation rating suit a reception wall where guests read from a few metres away. Choose a spot away from direct sunlight and inside air-conditioned space, and ask for a free site survey before mounting.

Can I run it in a hot space during a Qatar summer?

Only in air-conditioned indoor areas. The operating range is 0°C to 40°C with 10% to 80% humidity, while Qatar summer temperatures can exceed 45°C. An unconditioned lobby, covered terrace or wall in direct sun needs review before installation. Include the room's cooling and sun exposure in your quote request so the team can advise on placement.

Does the on-screen menu support Arabic?

Yes. The on-screen language list includes Arabic alongside English, French and many other languages. For a school in Al Wakrah teaching in Arabic and English, facilities staff can set menus in Arabic while the displayed content carries both languages as needed. Confirm which content language your screen will run before ordering.

How do I connect several screens in a Lusail office lobby?

The unit has three HDMI inputs and one DisplayPort input, each able to carry 3840 x 2160 at 60Hz. Its HDMI output runs at 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz and passes the signal to the next screen in a chain, so check that every panel in the chain accepts that lower output. RS232C and IR pass-through let one controller manage the group.

Can IT teams manage it remotely over the network?

Yes, through its RJ45 LAN port, with SNMP, Wake on LAN, status mailing, group management and Crestron connectivity listed in the data. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are also included. An IT manager at a clinic group with sites in Doha and Al Sadd can monitor a set of displays centrally, while local content scheduling remains available on each display.

Which content management software works with it?

The data lists compatibility with SuperSign CMS, SuperSign Control+, SuperSign WB, SuperSign Cloud, Mobile CMS and Connected Care. The right choice depends on whether your content team works on site or from anywhere. A Doha retailer with several branches may prefer cloud-based updates, while a single-site office might use an on-premises setup. SmartRooms Qatar can advise on the best match.

Will a wall in our Msheireb office carry its weight?

The head weighs 16.1 kg and the packed weight is 20.5 kg, with a VESA 300 x 300 mounting pattern. Confirm that the wall construction and fixings can take the load, and that the bracket matches the pattern. Optional mounts are the WB21LMA/B slim wall mount, the OLW480A/B wall mount and the AM-B330S adapter. A free site survey checks these points before installation.

Can it be mounted in portrait orientation for a mall directory?

Yes, the display supports both portrait and landscape use, which suits vertical directory boards or menu panels at a shopping mall entrance. Confirm that the bracket is rated for portrait mounting, and set screen rotation to match the content design. Screen rotation is listed as a feature in the data, so the setting can be configured on each display.

Are the built-in speakers enough for a school hall?

The display has two 10W speakers and an audio output. They suit short announcements in corridors, lobbies or small rooms. A hall or sports venue will need a dedicated sound system, so tell us the room size when you request a quote and we will advise whether this unit's speakers fit the use case.

Will it run on Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz supply?

Yes, the built-in power input is rated 100-240V AC at 50/60Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains. Typical consumption is 110W and maximum 160W, with smart energy saving listed at 77W. For a Lusail office fitting ten screens, add the maximum figure across the group to check circuit capacity before installation.

Can a school order several units under a purchase order?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs), government tenders including Monaqasat, and payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. List the number of units, the corridors or walls for mounting and the site in your request. Because this model is discontinued, the quotation may propose a current equivalent instead of the same unit.
