Overview

The ViewSonic CN5501-1C is a 55-inch 4K display built for presentations and digital signage. It offers 3840 x 2160 resolution, 520 nits typical brightness and an anti-glare surface, and it can run in landscape or portrait orientation. A built-in Android 14 player with 32GB storage runs scheduled content continuously, and AirPlay, Miracast and Chromecast casting is supported. It suits corporate meeting rooms, school corridors and reception areas across Qatar.

The ViewSonic CN5501-1C is a 55-inch panel with a 3840 x 2160 native resolution, a TFT LCD module with DLED backlight and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It suits organisations that need one screen for presentations and looping information without building a full video wall.

Image quality for bright, busy rooms

Typical brightness is 520 nits, with a 5000:1 contrast ratio and a 6.5ms response time. The surface is anti-glare with 3H hardness and 25% haze, which reduces reflections from ceiling lights and daylight in meeting rooms. Viewing angles are rated at 178 degrees horizontally and vertically, so people seated at the sides of a boardroom can still read the content. The backlight is rated for 50,000 hours.

Built-in player, inputs and wireless casting

The panel runs Android 14 on a quad-core processor with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, so scheduled content can play without a separate media PC. It has two HDMI 2.1 inputs with HDCP 2.2, one USB-C port that supports DisplayPort 1.2, 15W power delivery and USB 2.0, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports and an RJ45 LAN port. RS-232 and IR pass-through ports support control. AirPlay, Miracast and Chromecast handle wireless sharing. The box includes a remote with batteries and an RS-232 adapter.

Where it fits in Qatar

Government meeting room in Msheireb: a single screen for reports and schedules in front of a bilingual team.
Private school corridor in Al Wakrah: a portrait-mounted panel for timetables and notices outside classrooms.
Clinic or hotel reception in Doha: looping visitor information during working hours, in an air-conditioned lobby.

What to plan before ordering

The unit measures 1238.4 x 709.2 x 70 mm and weighs 13 kg net, or 18.5 kg packed. It mounts on a 400 x 400 VESA pattern, and a wall-mount kit with four screws is included. The operating range is 0 to 40°C at 20% to 80% RH. Qatar summer temperatures regularly exceed 45°C, so install it in air-conditioned rooms only, not on terraces, under canopies or in unconditioned stores. Power draw is 134 W when on and under 0.5 W when off, and the supply accepts 100 to 240 V AC ±10%.

SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey before wall mounting, to check the wall, cable route and power outlet.

Questions about CN5501-1C

What is the ViewSonic CN5501-1C best used for?

It suits presentations and repeated content display in air-conditioned spaces. The 55-inch 4K panel fits a small to mid-sized meeting room, a classroom wall or a reception area where people read from a few metres away. Because the player is built in, announcements can run without a PC beside the screen. Request a quote once you have confirmed the wall space and the content you plan to show.

Can it be mounted in portrait mode?

Yes. The CN5501-1C supports both landscape and portrait orientation, which is useful for corridor notices, wayfinding at a school entrance in Al Wakrah or a menu board in a café in The Pearl. Confirm the orientation before fixing the bracket, because the mounting pattern is 400 x 400. A free site survey lets our team check the wall and sightlines first.

How clear is the screen in rooms with windows?

Typical brightness is 520 nits, and the anti-glare surface is rated 3H hardness with 25% haze, which cuts reflections from ceiling lights and daylight. In a west-facing meeting room in Doha, place the panel away from direct sunlight and close the blinds during afternoon presentations. A 5000:1 contrast ratio helps dark slides keep their text readable.

Can it run in an outdoor or unconditioned space?

No. The operating range is 0 to 40°C with 20% to 80% relative humidity. Qatar summer temperatures regularly exceed 45°C, so terraces, outdoor canopies, unconditioned warehouses and dusty loading bays are not suitable. Install it in an air-conditioned room, and confirm the cooling and dust conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering.

Which connections are available for laptops and video sources?

There are two HDMI 2.1 inputs with HDCP 2.2, and one USB-C port that supports DisplayPort 1.2, 15W power delivery and USB 2.0. Two USB 2.0 Type-A ports and an RJ45 LAN port are also fitted. A laptop that outputs video over USB-C can connect with a single cable, but check that its port supports DisplayPort output before relying on it.

Does it support wireless casting from phones and laptops?

Yes, the CN5501-1C supports AirPlay, Miracast and Chromecast. Presenters can share from an iPhone, a Windows laptop or an Android device without cables, which suits meeting rooms in Lusail or Education City where staff bring their own devices. Connection depends on the device and the network, so test it in the room before handover.

Do I need a PC to play scheduled content?

No separate PC is needed. The built-in Android 14 player, with a quad-core processor, 4GB RAM and 32GB storage, can run scheduled content continuously. A clinic waiting area in Al Sadd, for example, can show visitor information all day from the screen alone. Storage for video files depends on their size, so estimate the total content length before ordering.

Is it suitable for continuous, all-day operation?

Operating hours are rated 7/24, and the backlight life is rated at 50,000 hours. Power draw is 134 W when on and under 0.5 W when off. This suits a hotel lobby, a serviced apartment reception or a government building entrance that runs all day. Set a clear on-off schedule, and ask our team about ventilation needs for the mounting position.

What should I plan for before wall mounting the panel?

The unit measures 1238.4 x 709.2 x 70 mm and weighs 13 kg net, or 18.5 kg packed. It mounts on a 400 x 400 VESA pattern, and a wall-mount kit with four screws is included. Check the wall's load capacity, the cable route and the position of the power outlet. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys before installation.

Will it work on Qatar's 240 V mains supply?

The power supply accepts 100 to 240 V AC with a tolerance of ±10%, which covers Qatar's 240 V mains. Power cables are included in the box. The manufacturer data does not state the plug type, so confirm that the supplied lead matches the BS 1363 (Type G) socket in your room before ordering. Our team can advise if an adapter is needed.

Is the screen covered by a warranty?

Yes, the product is covered by the manufacturer's warranty. The warranty terms are confirmed with your quotation. If you are buying through a government tender in Doha, ask our team to confirm the written terms in the quotation before you issue a purchase order.

How do schools order several units at once?

Schools can issue a local purchase order (LPO), and government buyers can quote a Monaqasat tender reference. Payment is by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Lead times are estimates confirmed in the quotation, based on stock. Send the quantity, a list of rooms and corridors, and the intended orientation of each panel, and we will prepare a quotation.
