QB50R

A 50-inch UHD signage display for wall or stand mounting

The Samsung QB50R is a 50-inch signage display with a 3,840 x 2,160 panel, also listed under the model code LH50QBREBGCXUE. Its 0.285 x 0.285 mm pixel pitch and 9.2 mm side bezels suit menu boards, wayfinding screens and information walls where people read from a short distance. At 1121.4 x 643.9 x 46.3 mm and 13.4 kg, it is a light, shallow unit that can be fitted to a VESA 200 x 200 mount.

Picture and colour figures that matter for public screens

A typical brightness of 350 cd/m² and a 4,000:1 contrast ratio give clear images in reception areas and indoor retail spaces with controlled lighting. The panel covers 92% of the DCI-P3 colour space, and its 10-bit colour processing is rated for up to one billion shades. Intelligent UHD upscaling applies edge restoration and noise reduction to lower-resolution content, and the 8 ms response time with 178 degree viewing angles keeps moving content readable from the side.

Connections for media players, PCs and control systems

• Two HDMI inputs and one DVI input for media players and laptops
• Two USB ports and an audio input with a stereo mini jack output
• RS232 in and out for serial control, plus an IR input and an RJ45 network input
• Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth for wireless connection alongside the wired inputs

The model has no DisplayPort input, no HDBaseT input and no video output, so plan source cabling around HDMI and DVI. Samsung Workspace, secured with Knox, supports wireless cloud access and control of a PC without a physical connection, according to the manufacturer's data. MagicInfo 6 is part of the product specification, but daisy-chain videowall support is not available, so each screen needs its own planned content source.

Where it fits in Qatar

At a university student services desk in Education City, the screen can show timetables and room bookings in a bright, air-conditioned foyer. A corporate lobby in West Bay can run visitor information and company announcements, while a hotel lobby in The Pearl can display event schedules and meeting room signs. In each case the screen works best where people pause to read, not where it competes with direct sunlight.

The rated operating range is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius with 10 to 80% humidity, non-condensing. Doha summers can exceed 45 degrees Celsius, so the screen should sit in an air-conditioned interior, away from glass that traps heat. The data gives no outdoor rating, so confirm the exact location with the SmartRooms Qatar team during the free site survey.

Planning the installation

The set weighs 13.4 kg and the package weighs 17.6 kg, with packed dimensions of 1269 x 784 x 152 mm. It draws 143 W in on mode and 0.5 W in sleep mode from an AC 100 to 240 V, 50 or 60 Hz supply, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains. Confirm the power cable and plug suit the BS 1363 sockets in your building. The optional WMN4070SE wall mount and STN-L4355F stand are listed in the specification, and the free site survey confirms wall type and cable routing before any drilling. The set is EMC Class B and rated to safety standard 60950-1, and it is registered by EPEAT.
