What the 98UH5Q-H is built for

The LG 98UH5Q-H is a 98-inch display from the UH5Q signage series, designed for public-facing and back-of-house screens that show content throughout the working day. Its panel offers 3840 x 2160 UHD resolution in a 16:9 aspect ratio, and it can run in portrait or landscape orientation, which matters for menu boards, wayfinding panels and vertical information displays.

The specifications on this page come from the manufacturer data sheet for this exact model. The data lists 24/7 operation, so the screen suits lobbies, control rooms and information points near busy transport hubs where a display is rarely switched off.

Picture and panel facts that matter on a large screen

Typical brightness is 500 nit, with a 1,200:1 contrast ratio and a dynamic contrast figure of at least 1,000,000:1. The panel covers 95% or more of the BT709 colour gamut and shows 1.07 billion colours. Its surface has a 25% haze anti-glare treatment, which helps where sunlight from windows reaches the screen. The 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles let people standing at the sides of a room see the same picture. An 8ms grey-to-grey response time and 60Hz refresh rate suit video and moving graphics, and the panel is rated for a minimum of 50,000 hours.

Ports and daily content control

Three HDMI inputs supporting HDCP 2.2 and 1.4
One RJ45 LAN port, plus built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Two USB 2.0 Type A ports for local files and peripherals
RS232C input and output, and audio output

Two USB ports let a presenter load a slide deck from a memory stick while a keyboard or mouse stays connected during a meeting. The set includes 8GB of internal eMMC storage and two 10W built-in speakers. Its webOS 6.1 platform lists local content scheduling, group management and Crestron Connected support. The data also names compatibility with SuperSign CMS, SuperSign Cloud and Mobile CMS, and notes that SuperSign is purchased separately.

Where it fits in Qatar

A hotel in West Bay could place one in its lobby to show arrival information, with the on-screen menu set to Arabic or English. A clinic in Al Sadd might use a large screen in its waiting area for queue numbers and health information. A logistics company in the Industrial Area could mount one in its dispatch office to display schedules. Install it in an air-conditioned room: the rated operating range is 0 °C to 40 °C, while outdoor temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45 °C in summer.

What to plan before installation

The head weighs 53.6 kg and 83.87 kg packed, so plan for at least two people to lift it. Its body measures 2190 x 1255 x 68.6 mm and uses an 800 x 400 mm VESA mount pattern. A wall mount is an optional accessory and is not in the standard box, so include it in your quotation request. Power is AC 100-240V at 50/60Hz with a built-in power supply, drawing a typical 285W and up to 385W maximum. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to check the wall, fixing points and cable routes before fitting.

Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar for the 98UH5Q-H, and tell us whether you also need a wall mount, SuperSign software or professional installation. Quotations are usually returned within one working day.

Questions about 98UH5Q-H

What is the LG 98UH5Q-H used for?

It is a 98-inch UHD signage display for showing information, advertising and service menus in public spaces. In Qatar it suits hotel lobbies in West Bay, clinic waiting areas and corporate reception desks where the screen runs for long hours. The data lists 24/7 operation, so it fits locations that need continuous display rather than occasional use.

Can it be mounted in portrait orientation?

Yes. The data lists both portrait and landscape operation. A retail store in Msheireb could run portrait for a vertical menu board or directory, and landscape for a wide promotional loop. Before ordering, confirm that the wall mount you choose allows rotation, and that the orientation suits your content layout.

Is the screen bright enough for a lobby with large windows?

Typical brightness is 500 nit, and the 25% haze surface treatment reduces reflections. If a lobby receives strong direct sunlight through glazing, check the light at the intended position before fitting. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar can assess the lighting at the exact spot and suggest a placement that keeps the image readable.

What temperature range can the display operate in?

The rated operating temperature is 0 °C to 40 °C, with humidity from 10% to 80%. Outdoor temperatures in Qatar often exceed 45 °C in summer, so the display should sit in an air-conditioned room, not an open-sided area or unconditioned glazed foyer. Confirm your room conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team when requesting a quote.

How much power does the screen use?

Typical consumption is 285W and maximum is 385W. The built-in power supply accepts AC 100-240V at 50/60Hz, and the data lists 200W in Smart Energy Saving mode. When several screens are planned for a school or office building, use the typical figure to estimate the load on each circuit and the cooling needed for the room.

Does it support Arabic on-screen menus?

Yes. The on-screen display language list in the data includes Arabic, alongside English and many other languages. This suits offices in Doha that work in Arabic and English side by side. The content you show depends on your files and fonts, so test Arabic slides on the screen before publishing them.

How do I connect a laptop or media player?

The screen has three HDMI inputs supporting HDCP 2.2 and 1.4, an RJ45 LAN port, and built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. A lecture hall in Education City could connect a presenter laptop by HDMI, while a networked player runs scheduled content. Two USB 2.0 ports can also play files directly from a memory stick.

What software is needed to schedule content?

webOS 6.1 includes local content scheduling and group management. The data also lists compatibility with SuperSign CMS, SuperSign Cloud and Mobile CMS, and SuperSign must be purchased separately. An organisation with several branches may prefer a cloud version for central control, and SmartRooms Qatar can help you choose the version that fits your setup.

Will it integrate with an existing control system?

The data lists RS232C input and output, an RJ45 LAN port, Crestron Connected support, SNMP and Wake on LAN. Share the details of your control system when you request a quote so integration can be checked before ordering. This helps avoid surprises when a facilities team connects the display to an existing room controller.

How heavy is it and what does the wall need to take?

The head weighs 53.6 kg and uses an 800 x 400 mm VESA pattern. A wall mount is optional and not in the basic accessory list. Because of the weight, a free site survey is advisable to check wall strength, fixing points and cable routing before the mount is fitted, and the mount can then be included in the quotation.

Does the display include speakers?

Yes, it has two built-in 10W speakers and an audio output. For a large hall or event space, an external sound system may still be needed, so ask the SmartRooms Qatar team about this when you plan the room. The built-in speakers are suited to a lobby or meeting room where the audience is close to the screen.

Can we buy several units for a school or government office?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs), and government tenders including Monaqasat, with payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. List the quantity, wall mounts, cabling and installation requirements in your request so the quotation covers the whole order in one document.
