Discontinued by LG, the WP401 is a webOS 4.0 signage media player that attaches to existing LG digital signage displays. It plays Ultra HD video, includes 8GB of internal memory, built-in Wi-Fi and RS232C display control. Organisations in Qatar that already run this model, or need a compatible replacement for their LG screens, should request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar.
What the WP401 adds to an existing LG signage fleet
The LG WP401 is a webOS 4.0 signage media player, a compact box that connects to LG digital signage displays and gives them the features of the webOS platform. It works with LG signage regardless of the display's original platform, so an organisation can add modern content management to screens it already owns instead of replacing the panels. The box measures 258 × 36.5 × 186 mm and weighs 0.87 kg.
Its 8GB of internal memory is split into 4GB for the system and 4GB available for content. That is enough for playlists and media files on a single screen, but larger libraries need planning. Our team can review your content plan with you when you request a quote.
Playback, layouts and display control
The WP401 supports Ultra HD video playback, which the manufacturer rates at four times the definition of Full HD, and one box is enough for that quality. It can show up to four input sources in picture-by-picture layouts, or a main image with a sub-screen in picture-in-picture, and its multi video tags can play several clips at the same time. The tile mode setting goes up to 15 by 15, which suits a large video wall built from many panels.
Control runs through RS232C, RJ45 and IR inputs. Commands sent over RS232C can set power, brightness and volume on connected displays, so a facilities team can switch screens or adjust their levels without visiting each one.
Planning installation for Qatar's heat and power supply
The rated operating range is 0 °C to 40 °C with 10% to 80% humidity. Summer temperatures in Doha often exceed 45 °C, so the box must sit in an air-conditioned room or a ventilated, cooled enclosure, away from direct sun and outdoor exposure. The built-in thermal sensor is a feature of the unit, not a substitute for a suitable location.
The power supply accepts AC 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz, a range that covers Qatar's 240 V mains. Typical consumption is 23 W and maximum is 27 W. Before installation, confirm that the supplied power cord suits the sockets on site.
Where it fits in Qatar
A government ministry in Msheireb with LG screens in its reception could extend them with one box per display and manage content from a central point. A shopping centre in Lusail could use several units to drive a tiled wall of promotional content. A private school in Al Rayyan could push announcements to corridor displays. Wherever LG screens already exist, the WP401 is the upgrade path to evaluate.
- Best fit: existing LG signage that needs modern content management
- Plan for: display compatibility, cabling routes, cooled location and power points
Because LG has discontinued the WP401, buyers should request a quote for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement that works with the displays and software already in place. Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar, and we will confirm compatibility and quotation details with you.
