86UH5E

What the LG 86UH5E offers

The LG 86UH5E is an 86-inch signage display from the UH5E series, with a 3,840 x 2,160 UHD panel and 500 nits typical brightness. It is listed under the variant code 86UH5E-B. LG has discontinued this model, so this page serves organisations that already operate one, buyers comparing it with newer displays, and anyone who needs a replacement in Qatar.

Connectivity, content and control

The panel provides three HDMI inputs, a DisplayPort input, a DVI-D input, two USB 2.0 ports and an audio input, plus a DisplayPort output and audio output for passing signals on. External control comes through RS232C in and out, an RJ45 LAN input and an IR input. The source data lists SuperSign CMS for content management and SuperSign Control or Control+ for monitoring.

• An embedded content management system builds and schedules playlists without a separate PC.
• A master display can group other displays on the same network and push playlists to them together.
• Control Manager allows remote monitoring from internet-connected devices.
• The optional Signage 365 Care cloud service from LG supports remote fault diagnosis.

The model is certified as Crestron Connected and for compatibility with Cisco Spark Room Kit, so it suits professional AV control and video conferencing rooms.

Picture, layout and sound

The IPS panel keeps colours consistent when viewers stand at an angle, which matters in a lobby where people approach from several directions. Picture-by-picture mode can split the screen across up to four input sources, and picture-in-picture shows a main and sub picture together. The detachable logo allows landscape or portrait mounting, and built-in speakers can play announcements or advertising audio.

Where it fits in Qatar

• Hotel lobbies in West Bay or The Pearl: a panel near reception showing check-in information, local events and wayfinding inside an air-conditioned lobby.
• Government reception areas in Msheireb or the Industrial Area: an information loop updated from the office without visiting the site.
• Retail or clinic networks with branches in Lusail or Al Sadd: a group of displays managed from one master unit, with remote status checks across sites.

Planning the installation and requesting a quote

Measure the wall before the panel arrives. The monitor measures 1,926.2 x 1,097.2 x 60.6 mm without handle and logo, weighs 49 kg as a head unit and 61.1 kg packed, and uses a 600 x 400 mm VESA interface. Typical power draw is 215 W, up to 280 W at maximum, and 151 W in smart energy saving mode. The operating range is 0 to 40 C with 10 to 80% humidity, so avoid sunlit positions, glass walls and unconditioned areas, where summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45 C outdoors. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys to check wall structure and cable routes before a 61 kg panel is hung.

Because this model is discontinued, the fastest route is a quote for a current equivalent or compatible replacement, matched to your mounting space, source devices and conferencing setup. Send the room details to SmartRooms Qatar and request a quote; we usually return a quotation within one working day. We supply to all eight municipalities of Qatar, accept purchase orders and government tenders, and offer professional installation.
