LG 98UH5F (Discontinued) · Replacements in Qatar

Name: LG 98UH5F 98-inch UHD Signage Display
Brand: LG
SKU: lg-98uh5f
Availability: Discontinued

Overview

The LG 98UH5F is a 98-inch UHD signage display with 3,840 x 2,160 resolution, 500 nits typical brightness and a 120 Hz refresh rate. It has three HDMI inputs, DisplayPort and a built-in webOS platform for playback without an external media player. The manufacturer has discontinued this model; buyers in Qatar who already run it or need a replacement can request a quote for a current equivalent.

What the LG 98UH5F is built for

The LG 98UH5F is a 98-inch signage display for lobbies, meeting rooms and corridors where a large image must stay readable from across the room. Its IPS panel runs at 3,840 x 2,160 resolution, four times the pixel count of Full HD, so menus, maps and small text stay sharp up close. Typical brightness is 500 nits, the contrast ratio is 1,300:1 and the refresh rate is 120 Hz. The manufacturer has discontinued this model, so this page also serves organisations that already run it and buyers who need a replacement.

Ports and display controls that shape the room layout

Inputs: three HDMI, one DisplayPort, one DVI-D, audio and two USB 2.0 ports.
Output: one DisplayPort, with audio set to off, fixed or variable.
External control: RS232C in and out, an RJ45 LAN input and an IR input.

Three HDMI inputs let a room keep a laptop, a media device and a camera feed connected at once. Picture-by-picture mode can show up to four sources on one screen, while picture-in-picture plays a main and a sub picture together in several layouts. The serial and LAN ports are the connection points for external control systems, and the manufacturer states Crestron Connected certification and Cisco compatibility for meeting-room control.

Playback, software and remote monitoring

The built-in webOS smart signage platform, running on a quad-core processor, plays content without a separate media player, so there is one fewer box to install, power and maintain. Content is managed with SuperSign CMS, while SuperSign Control and Control+ cover control and monitoring. The embedded Control Manager shows the status of several displays at different locations in real time, which helps a school group or retail chain with branches in Doha and Lusail respond quickly when a screen fails. The unit has no OPS slot, so an OPS computer cannot be fitted. External sensors, including NFC/RFID readers and temperature sensors, can connect through USB.

Where it fits in Qatar

Three scenarios show the range. A hotel in West Bay might use the panel in its lobby to display arrival details and event schedules, placed in an air-conditioned space away from direct sun through glass. A private school in Al Wakrah fitting out a new assembly hall could show timetables and announcements, with mounting and power checked during the site survey. A shopping centre in Lusail could run in-store promotions, using the Beacon and Bluetooth Low Energy support the manufacturer describes for sending real-time offers.

What to plan before ordering

The head weighs 81.1 kg and the packed unit 119 kg, so check the wall or frame load before delivery.

Questions about 98UH5F

Who is the LG 98UH5F designed for?

It suits organisations that need a large, bright screen indoors, such as hotel lobbies, corporate reception areas and training rooms. Its 98-inch IPS panel delivers 3,840 x 2,160 resolution at 500 nits typical brightness, and it runs content on a built-in webOS platform. It fits buyers who want one screen that plays its own content and can be monitored remotely.

Has LG discontinued the 98UH5F, and what should I buy instead?

Yes, the manufacturer has discontinued this model. Organisations that already own it, or need a like-for-like unit, can request a quote for a current equivalent or compatible replacement. SmartRooms Qatar will compare resolution, inputs, mounting size and power draw with this model, and quotations are usually issued within one working day.

How sharp is the 98UH5F compared with a Full HD screen?

The native resolution is 3,840 x 2,160 (UHD), which is four times the pixel count of Full HD. That matters for menus, wayfinding maps and small text on a 98-inch screen viewed from a short distance. The IPS panel has a 178 x 178 viewing angle, so content stays clear for people standing at the side of a lobby, and the surface haze is 1%.

Can it play content without a separate media player?

Yes. The built-in webOS smart signage platform runs on a quad-core processor, so playlists can run without an external media player. Content is managed through SuperSign CMS, and SuperSign Control or Control+ handles control and monitoring. The unit has no OPS slot, so an OPS media player cannot be fitted, which means planning around the built-in platform from the start.

Which inputs and ports does it have?

The 98UH5F has three HDMI inputs, one DisplayPort input, one DVI-D input, an audio input and two USB 2.0 ports. The output is a DisplayPort with audio set to off, fixed or variable. For control, it has RS232C in and out on a 4-pin phone jack, an RJ45 LAN input and an IR input. Plan cable routes for each source before installation, especially if a room uses several laptops or a camera feed.

Will it work with Crestron or Cisco meeting room systems?

The manufacturer states that the 98UH5F is Crestron Connected certified for integration with professional AV control systems, and that it has certified compatibility with Cisco systems for video conference control. For a boardroom in Doha that connects with teams abroad, ask your AV integrator to confirm the software version and control route through the RS232C or LAN ports. SmartRooms Qatar can review the wiring during a free site survey.

Can a hotel lobby in West Bay use it near a glass frontage in summer?

Only in an air-conditioned area that stays within the operating range. The 98UH5F is rated for 0°C to 40°C and 10% to 80% humidity, while Qatar summer temperatures often exceed 45°C. A glass frontage brings direct sun and heat gain, so position the screen away from the glass and confirm the room's cooling capacity during the site survey. If the space cannot stay below 40°C, this model is not the right location.

How heavy is it, and what should I check before wall mounting?

The head weighs 81.1 kg and the packed unit weighs 119 kg, so the wall, frame and fixings must carry that load. The VESA mount interface is 800 x 400 mm, and the monitor measures 2,191.8 x 1,246.8 x 83.8 mm without handle and logo. Check the handle position, cable access and service clearance. SmartRooms Qatar can confirm wall structure and sightlines through a free site survey before any order.

What power does it need for a school in Al Wakrah or Education City?

The power supply is rated 100-240V, 50/60 Hz, with built-in power. Typical consumption is 420 W and maximum consumption is 560 W, with a smart energy saving figure of 294 W. Before you fit out a classroom or assembly hall, check that the supplied power cord suits BS 1363 (Type G) sockets and that the circuit can carry the maximum draw. The site survey can confirm both points.

How do I monitor several screens across sites in Doha and Lusail?

The embedded Control Manager is a web-based monitoring tool that lets you check the status of several 98UH5F displays at different locations in real time, from internet-connected devices. A retail group with branches in Doha and Lusail can use it to check each screen and respond quickly to faults. It can be paired with SuperSign CMS for content scheduling. Ask SmartRooms Qatar to review your network and firewall settings during the survey.

Can a shopping centre in Lusail run promotions with it?

The manufacturer describes Beacon and Bluetooth Low Energy support, which lets shop managers provide coupons and information in real time. For a shopping centre in Lusail, this could mean timed offers on a screen near a store entrance. Confirm the beacon and BLE setup with your integrator and the store network, and check your content plan. The model is discontinued, so verify these functions match your needs before requesting a quote.

What is included in the box?

The basic package includes a remote controller, power cord, quick start guide, IR and light sensor receiver, a 1.8 m DisplayPort cable, a regulation book, a phone to RS232C gender adapter and an eye-bolt. No optional accessories are listed for this model, so plan any extra cabling or mounting hardware within your quotation.
