A 65-inch FHD signage display that LG has discontinued

The LG 65SM5KC is a 65-inch standard signage display with a 1,920 x 1,080 Full HD panel and 450 nits of brightness. LG has discontinued this model, so SmartRooms Qatar supplies it to organisations that already run units and want to extend or replace them, to buyers comparing it with other 65-inch signage, and to anyone who needs a replacement. If you need the same footprint and connections, request a quote and our team will recommend a current equivalent or a compatible replacement.

Key panel and connection facts

Orientation: portrait or landscape, so one model can serve a directory, a menu board or a welcome screen.
Inputs: HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D, RGB, audio and an SD card slot. DisplayPort and audio outputs allow the signal to feed a second display.
Control: RS232C in and out, an RJ input, an IR receiver, a pixel sensor and USB 3.0.
Media options: OPS slot compatibility and external MP500 or MP700 media player support.
Audio: a 20 W internal speaker output (10 W x 2) at 6 ohm.

Power draw is 120 W typical and 80 W in smart energy saving mode, on a 100-240V 50/60Hz supply with built-in power. The source lists UL, cUL, CB, TUV and KC safety approvals, FCC Class A, CE and KCC EMC approvals, and Energy Star 7.0.

Where it fits across Qatar

Corporate lobbies in West Bay and Lusail: a 65-inch panel suits a reception wall where visitors check in and see welcome messages, and the site survey confirms whether it should be mounted landscape or portrait.

Cafés and retail in The Pearl or Msheireb: a portrait-mounted screen can show a menu or product list at a counter, and the narrow top and side bezels keep the frame unobtrusive.

Control rooms and industrial sites near Ras Laffan and the Industrial Area: when several units sit side by side, the 11.9 mm top, left and right bezels and 18 mm bottom bezel keep the visible gaps small, although the final layout depends on the site plan.

What to plan before you order

Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45°C, which is above the 40°C upper operating limit. Choose an air-conditioned indoor location away from direct sun through glass, where heat can build up.

The head unit weighs 27.7 kg and mounts to a 300 mm x 300 mm VESA interface. Its overall dimensions are 1,456.9 x 838 x 41.1 mm, so check the wall and fixings before ordering. SmartRooms Qatar carries out free site surveys, and the optional LSW350B wall bracket and ST-652T stand are available.

The source lists compatibility with SuperSign-w lite and SuperSign-c, so confirm the content system with your IT team. The unit has no power switch, so plan with your facilities team how it will be switched on and off.

To request a quote for this model or a current replacement, send the quantity, locations and intended content to SmartRooms Qatar. Orders can be placed by purchase order (LPO) or through government tenders, including Monaqasat, and quotations are usually issued within one working day.

Questions about 65SM5KC

Is the LG 65SM5KC still available from LG?

LG has discontinued the 65SM5KC, so this page serves organisations that already run one, buyers comparing it with other 65-inch signage displays, and anyone looking for a replacement. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement that matches your size, connections and mounting. Send the model number, the quantity and the location, and the team will confirm the options within your quotation.

Who is the 65SM5KC best suited to?

It suits indoor information points that need a 65-inch picture without the footprint of a larger video wall. Examples include a clinic reception in Al Sadd, a government service desk in Msheireb or a meeting-room wall in a Doha office. Its 1,920 x 1,080 FHD panel suits content read at normal indoor viewing distances, and its 450 nits brightness should be checked against the room lighting, especially where windows face the sun.

Can it run in portrait mode for a menu board or directory?

Yes. The panel supports both portrait and landscape orientation, so one model can show a tall directory in a mall corridor or a menu at a café counter in The Pearl, while another unit shows a landscape welcome screen. Decide the orientation before installation, because the mounting position and cable routing depend on it. Confirm the final layout during the free site survey offered by SmartRooms Qatar.

Can I install it near windows, in an entrance or in a store room during summer?

Not in an unconditioned space. The source data gives an operating temperature of 0°C to 40°C and humidity of 10% to 80%. Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45°C, so keep the display in an air-conditioned indoor room and away from direct sun through glass, where heat can build up. Confirm the location with the SmartRooms Qatar team during the free site survey before you finalise the order.

What inputs and outputs does it have?

Inputs are HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D, RGB, audio and an SD card slot. Outputs are DisplayPort and audio. External control uses RS232C in and out, an RJ input, an IR receiver, a pixel sensor and USB 3.0. Match these ports to your source devices and control system before ordering, and ask for the cable list within your quotation if you need HDMI or DisplayPort leads for a new installation.

Can I add an OPS computer or an external media player?

Yes. The source lists OPS compatibility and external media player support with the MP500 or MP700. An OPS module plugs into a slot inside the display, while an external player sits beside it and connects by cable. The optional OPS kit KT-OPSA is listed for the OPS route. Choose the approach that suits how your content is scheduled and who maintains it.

Which content management software works with it?

The source lists the 65SM5KC as compatible with SuperSign-w lite and SuperSign-c, both LG signage software options. Confirm which software and player combination your IT team will use, then check it against the connection and control options above before ordering. If your organisation runs its own content server, include it in the site survey so the setup can be confirmed in advance.

How much power does it use, and does it suit Qatar's 240 V supply?

The power supply is listed as 100-240V~, 50/60Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains. Typical consumption is 120 W, falling to 80 W in smart energy saving mode, and the source lists it as Energy Star 7.0. The display uses built-in power and has no power switch, so facilities teams should plan how it will be switched on and off, for example through the control system or the supply circuit.

How narrow are the bezels when several units sit side by side?

The bezel is 11.9 mm at the top, left and right, and 18 mm at the bottom. Narrow edges reduce the visible gap when several displays are placed together, which matters in a control room at an energy or industrial site, or in a lobby where a panel array shows one message. Plan the grid, the video source and the mounting, and confirm the layout during a site survey.

What mounting does it need, and how heavy is it?

It has a 300 mm x 300 mm VESA mounting interface. The head unit weighs 27.7 kg and measures 1,456.9 x 838 x 41.1 mm. Check the wall, its load capacity and the fixings before ordering. The LSW350B wall bracket is an optional accessory, and SmartRooms Qatar provides free site surveys to review the wall type and fixings before installation.

What is in the box, and which accessories are optional?

The basic package includes a remote controller with two batteries, a power cord, a quick start guide, an RGB cable, a regulation book, a phone-to-RS232C gender adapter and a memory cover. Optional items include the SP-5000 speaker, ST-652T stand, KT-SP0 pixel sensor, LSW350B wall bracket, AMB330S VESA adapter, KT-OPSA OPS kit and EB-B100 HDBaseT unit. Add only the accessories your installation actually needs.

Can a school or government office order several units with a purchase order?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs), government tenders including Monaqasat, and payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. For several units, send the quantity, the rooms or corridors, the orientation and the accessory list together so the quotation covers the whole order. Quotations are usually issued within one working day.
