Touchscreen T5 Education 55

A 55-inch 4K touch display for classrooms and small meeting rooms

The OneScreen Touchscreen T5 Education 55 is a 55-inch interactive display built around a 4K UHD panel. The manufacturer has discontinued this model, so this page is written for organisations that already own one, for buyers comparing it with newer displays, and for anyone who needs a replacement. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement.

The specifications that matter for daily teaching and meetings

The 3840 x 2160 resolution gives four times the pixels of Full HD, which keeps small text on worksheets and spreadsheets readable at close range. The panel is an original LG IPS LED with 400 cd/m² brightness and a 178° viewing angle, so people seated at the sides can still read the screen. Its anti-glare glass carries 8 MOHS surface hardness.

Touch is 20-point infrared, accepting a finger or the supplied stylus, with stated 2mm accuracy and a response time under 8ms. Refresh rate is 60 Hz. The screen runs Android 6 with 2GB RAM, 64GB storage and a quad-core A53 1.5GHz processor.

Ports and connections

• Inputs: three HDMI, one VGA, one DisplayPort, audio, microphone, YPBPR and AV
• Outputs: HDMI, S/PDIF, AV and earphone
• Network and control: two RJ-45, Bluetooth 4.0, dual-band Wi-Fi with three antennas, RS232
• USB: five multimedia USB ports and a camera USB port

Where it fits in Qatar

A primary or secondary classroom at a private school in Al Wakrah or Al Rayyan suits this size: teachers stand within arm's reach and students sit a few metres back. A training room in Education City or the Industrial Area can run lessons from a laptop connected through HDMI or VGA, while the Android side handles web content and apps. A small boardroom in West Bay or The Pearl can use the screen for video calls, provided the room is air-conditioned and out of direct sunlight.

What to plan before you order

The wall mount is VESA 400 x 400 with a flush wall mount provided. The unit measures 50.6 x 31.5 x 3.6 inches and weighs 99 lbs, so two people should handle it and the wall must be checked before fixing. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey, which is useful for checking wall structure, sightlines and the position of power and data outlets. The power input is stated as 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V supply; confirm the supplied cable suits BS 1363 Type G sockets. The data does not list an operating temperature range, so confirm the room conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installing near windows.

Software and management

The package includes OneScreen Write, eShare, Hype and Swap, with Hype and Swap each carrying a one-year subscription and 50 licenses. Annotate and Navigate have perpetual licenses but need a PC. Remote management covers emergency notifications, firmware upgrades and screen control, which helps a school manage several rooms from one place. The manufacturer lists unlimited support and training by video, audio, chat or phone.
