Overview

The LG 55XS2C is a discontinued 55-inch open-frame signage display with a 1,920 x 1,080 FHD panel rated at 2,500 cd/m2 typical brightness, built for placements near windows where daylight washes out standard screens.

Organisations already running it, or comparing it with current replacements, can request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar.

A 55-inch window-facing display built for daylight

The LG 55XS2C is a discontinued 55-inch open-frame display from the XS2C window-facing range. Its 1,920 x 1,080 Full HD panel is rated at 2,500 cd/m2 typical brightness, the figure that matters when a screen sits beside glass and has to stay readable through daylight. It is built for digital signage rather than meeting-room or interactive use, and its power supply is built in, so no separate external power unit is needed.

Brightness, panel and physical figures

Brightness: 2,500 cd/m2 typical, with a rated range of 2,250 to 2,750 cd/m2
Panel: 55-inch screen at 1,920 x 1,080 (FHD)
Bezel: 11.4 mm at the sides and 13.5 mm at the top and bottom
Head size: 1,238.4 x 712.4 x 89 mm (W x H x D), weight 25.6 kg

Compare the rated range with the glazing and sun exposure at your site before choosing a placement. A window that takes afternoon sun needs more checking than a shaded entrance.

Connections and control for a signage network

Video inputs are two HDMI ports, one DisplayPort and DVI-D, with an audio input and a USB port alongside. A DisplayPort output lets the signal pass on to another screen, and left and right external speaker outputs handle sound. External control comes through RS232C in and out and an RJ45 port. The unit also includes an IR receiver and a pixel sensor. Software compatibility is listed for SuperSign-w lite and SuperSign-c.

Where it fits in Qatar

In a ministry or bank reception in Msheireb with a glass frontage, a 55-inch screen at this brightness can show service directions and visitor information through working hours, managed from one content system. In a shopping mall storefront in West Bay or The Pearl, it can carry directions and event listings at the entrance, provided the unit is kept out of direct sun. In a hotel lobby in Lusail, it can display arrival and event information near the door, where the 89 mm depth helps it sit close to the wall.

Planning the install and the heat limit

Operating temperature is 0°C to 45°C away from direct sunlight and 0°C to 35°C in direct sunlight, with humidity from 10% to 80%. In a Qatari summer that difference often decides the position, so measure sun exposure and airflow before placement. Typical power draw is 220 W, with a 260 W maximum and 100 W in Smart Energy Saving mode. The input is 100-240V at 50/60Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V mains. The optional LSW630 wall mount is available, but no stand is available for this model. The data lists RU/CB, FCC Class A, CE and KC approvals. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar can confirm wall loading, cable routes and viewing distance before installation.

Questions about 55XS2C

Is the LG 55XS2C still sold by LG?

LG has discontinued the 55XS2C, so it is no longer in the manufacturer's current range. If you need this model or a like-for-like alternative, request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar. We will suggest a current equivalent or compatible replacement based on the brightness, inputs and mounting your site requires. Products we supply are covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

What is the LG 55XS2C designed for?

It is a 55-inch signage display for places where the screen sits near natural light, such as entrance lobbies, reception areas and storefront windows, where wayfinding and service information are shown. It is a signage display rather than a meeting-room or interactive screen, so for video calls or touch use a different SmartRooms Qatar product would be a better fit. Confirm the content and location before you request a quote.

How bright is it, and is that enough for a window?

Typical brightness is 2,500 cd/m2, with a rated range of 2,250 to 2,750 cd/m2. Compare these figures with your glazing before choosing a position. A west-facing window that takes direct afternoon sun needs more checking than a north-facing lobby window, so review the orientation and whether blinds or window film are part of the plan. SmartRooms Qatar can review the site during a free site survey.

Can it stand in direct sunlight during a Qatar summer?

The data rates operation at 0°C to 45°C away from direct sunlight and 0°C to 35°C in direct sunlight, with humidity from 10% to 80%. In a sunlit storefront in Al Rayyan during summer, the 35°C limit is the one to plan around. Measure surface temperature and airflow, and keep the unit out of direct sun where possible. If the position cannot meet the limit, ask for a quote for a different placement before ordering.

Which inputs and outputs does it have?

The inputs are two HDMI ports, one DisplayPort, DVI-D, an audio input, a USB port, an IR receiver and a pixel sensor. The outputs are a DisplayPort output for passing the signal on, and left and right external speaker outputs. External control uses RS232C in and out and an RJ45 port. Check that your media player's output matches one of these inputs, and plan a suitable adapter if your source uses a different connector.

Can I control it over a network or from a central system?

The display provides RJ45 and RS232C in and out for external control, so it can be linked to a control system by cable. The source data does not specify the control protocol or command set, so confirm integration requirements with your IT team before ordering. SmartRooms Qatar can note your control requirements in the quotation so the unit is specified correctly from the start.

Which content software works with it?

The data lists compatibility with SuperSign-w lite and SuperSign-c. For a multi-site network, confirm which of the two fits the number of screens and your IT setup, and whether any existing content system you use is compatible with the display's inputs. Schools and ministries with an in-house IT team can check this during the quotation, which SmartRooms Qatar usually issues within one working day.

Would a storefront screen in West Bay suit this model?

A storefront in West Bay that faces daylight for much of the day makes brightness more important than it would be indoors. The 2,500 cd/m2 typical figure helps, but the sun direction and the 35°C direct-sun limit still need checking. Before ordering several units, plan the mount, the cable run to power and the signal source, and the content schedule. Request a quote with the number of screens and the window orientation.

Can a government reception area in Msheireb use it for visitor information?

A reception area with daylight from a glass frontage suits the window-facing design, and it can show visitor information and service directions. Government bodies can buy through a purchase order or a government tender, and SmartRooms Qatar can prepare a quotation for the number of units required. Confirm the mounting position and power outlet during a free site survey, because the head weighs 25.6 kg.

Would a hotel lobby in Lusail suit this display?

A hotel lobby with a glass entrance in Lusail is a good fit for arrival information, dining times or event schedules. The head is 89 mm deep, so it can sit close to the wall, and it has a built-in power supply, which reduces the need for a separate external unit. Check how much daylight reaches the screen at the planned position, and request a quote with the lobby layout and mounting height.

How should we plan the mounting and space for this display?

The head measures 1,238.4 x 712.4 x 89 mm and weighs 25.6 kg, so check the wall, bracket and fixings before installation day. The optional LSW630 wall mount is available for this model, but no stand is available, so wall or other mounting is the route. Other optional accessories listed are KT-SP0 and AN-WF500. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar can confirm wall loading, cable routes and viewing distance.

What power does it need, and what comes in the box?

It accepts 100-240V at 50/60Hz with a built-in power supply, which covers Qatar's 240 V mains. Typical power draw is 220 W and the maximum is 260 W, with Smart Energy Saving rated at 100 W. The box includes a remote controller with two batteries, a power cord, an HDMI cable and the manual. The data does not state the plug type, so ask SmartRooms Qatar to confirm the power cord suits your socket before installation.
