LG 88BH7F (Discontinued) · Replacements in Qatar

Name: LG 88BH7F 88-inch Ultra Stretch Signage Display
Brand: LG
SKU: lg-88bh7f
Availability: Discontinued

Overview

The LG 88BH7F is an 88-inch stretched signage display with a 32:9 IPS panel at 3,840 x 1,080 native resolution. The manufacturer has discontinued this model, so SmartRooms Qatar quotes a current equivalent or compatible replacement for buyers who need this format. It suits Qatari malls, airport areas and hotel lobbies that want a wide, multi-zone screen.

What the LG 88BH7F is and why it is discontinued

The LG 88BH7F is an 88-inch stretched signage display built around a 32:9 panel, a shape closer to a long ribbon than a conventional screen. Its IPS panel has a native resolution of 3,840 x 1,080, so one display can carry a wide banner, a split layout or several separate messages at once. The manufacturer has discontinued this model. This page is written for organisations that already run it, buyers comparing it with other wide formats, and anyone who needs a replacement for an existing installation.

Because the model is no longer in the manufacturer's range, the most useful next step is to request a quote for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement. SmartRooms Qatar can review your wall space, content layout and cabling before recommending an alternative.

Display performance and content layout

The panel is rated at 700 cd/m2 typical brightness, with a 1,100:1 typical contrast ratio and a 500,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. The viewing angle is 178 x 178 degrees, and the anti-glare surface treatment has 3% haze, which helps in bright lobbies where window reflections are a problem. The typical lifetime is 50,000 hours, and the display is rated for 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Picture-by-picture mode divides the screen into up to four parts, each showing its own content without manual calibration. A tiled scene can run in configurations up to 15 x 15, which suits sites that want a large or unusual visual impact. The display works in both landscape and portrait orientation.

Where it fits in Qatar

Shopping malls and retail: a wide strip above a corridor or entrance in West Bay or The Pearl can show promotions and wayfinding on one screen.
Airport and transport areas: a ribbon display near passenger gates in the Hamad International Airport area can combine information and advertising in one place.
Hotels and serviced apartments: a lobby panel in Lusail or Msheireb can split the screen between welcome messages, event listings and dining offers.

Connectivity, control and software

Inputs include three HDMI ports, one DP port, one DVI-D port, an audio input and two USB 2.0 ports. Outputs are DP and audio. External control comes through RS232C in and out, RJ45 in and out, and an IR input. The LAN daisy chain lets you send control commands, monitor status and update firmware across linked units. A built-in quad core SoC plays content without a separate media player, and the display is OPS compatible, with an optional KT-OPSF OPS kit available. Content is managed with SuperSign CMS, while SuperSign Control or Control+ handles control and monitoring. Signage365Care is an optional cloud service for remote status checks.

Planning the installation

The monitor measures 2,158.3 x 611.2 x 84.8 mm. The head weighs 33.9 kg and the packed weight is 51.7 kg including the pallet. It mounts to a VESA 600 x 400 mm pattern, and the bezels measure 4.4 mm on the left and right and 5.9 mm at the top and bottom, which matters if you plan to combine units. Power input is rated at 100-240V, 50/60Hz with built-in power, a range that covers the 240V, 50 Hz supply used in Qatar. Typical consumption is 450 W, maximum 530 W, and smart energy saving mode draws 210 W. The operating range is 0 to 40 °C with 10 to 80% humidity. Qatari summer temperatures can exceed 45 °C, so the display should sit in an air-conditioned space with airflow around the cabinet. Confirm any non-air-conditioned location with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installation. SmartRooms Qatar also offers a free site survey to check wall strength before a heavy unit is fixed.

Questions about 88BH7F

Is the LG 88BH7F still available from the manufacturer?

The manufacturer has discontinued the LG 88BH7F, so new units may not be available. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement for an 88-inch stretched display. Tell us your wall width, the content layout you run and whether you must keep the 32:9 format, and we will recommend options that fit your installation.

What is the 32:9 format used for in Qatari venues?

The 32:9 panel is a long, narrow strip that suits corridors, escalator areas, lobby walls and waiting zones where a standard 16:9 screen looks cramped. In a mall in West Bay or The Pearl, an 88-inch strip can carry a promotional banner above a walkway with wayfinding beside it. Visitors see the content from a distance without needing several separate screens.

How many content zones can run on the screen at once?

Picture-by-picture mode divides the 3,840 x 1,080 panel into up to four parts, and each part can show different content. The source data describes this as working without manual calibration. At a hotel in Lusail, one zone could show welcome messages, another event timings, a third restaurant offers and a fourth a sponsor message, all on a single display.

Can the LG 88BH7F be mounted in portrait orientation?

Yes, the display supports both landscape and portrait orientation. Portrait use suits lift lobbies and narrow pillars where content runs vertically. Check the bracket and the VESA 600 x 400 mm pattern before ordering, because orientation changes how the 33.9 kg head is supported and how cables are routed to the wall.

Does it need a separate media player?

The built-in quad core SoC runs content without a separate media player, which simplifies cabling and the number of devices on site. The display is also OPS compatible, so an OPS player can be fitted using the optional KT-OPSF OPS kit if your project needs a specific player. Ask us which setup suits your content workflow before you order.

Which inputs and control ports does it have?

It provides three HDMI inputs, one DP input, one DVI-D input, an audio input and two USB 2.0 ports. It also has DP and audio outputs. Control is through RS232C in and out, RJ45 in and out, and an IR input. The basic package includes a remote controller, a 2.6 m DP cable, a 3 m RS-232C cable, an IR light sensor receiver and the manual.

Can several units be managed from one place?

Yes. The LAN daisy chain lets you send control commands, monitor status and update firmware across linked displays. For remote monitoring, Signage365Care is an optional cloud service that reports display status for fault diagnosis and remote control. Content is managed with SuperSign CMS, and SuperSign Control or Control+ handles control and monitoring across a group of sites in Doha and Al Rayyan.

Is it suitable for Qatar's summer heat?

The specified operating range is 0 to 40 °C with 10 to 80% humidity. Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45 °C, so the display should sit in an air-conditioned space with airflow around the cabinet, not in an uncooled corridor, outdoor canopy or window-facing area. Confirm the exact location with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installation.

Will it work with Qatar's power supply?

The power input is rated at 100-240V, 50/60Hz with built-in power, so the rated range covers the 240V, 50 Hz mains used in Qatar. Typical consumption is 450 W and maximum is 530 W, while smart energy saving mode draws 210 W. A facilities team can use these figures to check circuit capacity and how many units share each supply.

What wall space and structure do I need?

Monitor dimensions are 2,158.3 x 611.2 x 84.8 mm, with a head weight of 33.9 kg and a packed weight of 51.7 kg including the pallet. Mounting uses a VESA 600 x 400 mm pattern. Bezels measure 4.4 mm left and right and 5.9 mm top and bottom. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to check wall strength and structure before a heavy unit is fixed.

Which certifications does it carry?

The listed safety certifications are CB and NRTL. EMC approvals are FCC Class A, CE and KC. The ErP entry applies to the EU only, and Energy Star is not applicable. Products are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If your tender needs certificate details, include them in your request for a quote so the quotation addresses them.

Can a government entity order this through an LPO or a Monaqasat tender?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat, and delivers to all eight municipalities of Qatar. For a multi-unit order, such as a campus or ministry lobby, send the required quantity and site list. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order.
