WM55B

What the 55-inch 4K panel delivers

The Samsung Flip Pro WM55B pairs a 55-inch 3,840 x 2,160 VA panel with infrared touch, the Tizen 6.5 operating system and 32GB of flash memory. The manufacturer lists typical brightness of 350 without glass and 220 with glass, a contrast ratio of 4000:1 without glass, and viewing angles of 178/178. These figures matter in rooms where students sit at the sides or where a window sits behind the screen.

Writing, touch and connectivity

The manufacturer quotes 26ms touch latency and an 8ms response time. Pen and brush modes, a palette menu and palm erasing let a presenter annotate slides much as they would on a whiteboard. Multi-touch is listed for up to 20 people, but a footnote ties that figure to single-touch use, so confirm the touch behaviour you need against the full specification sheet before ordering.

The WM55B offers two HDMI 2 inputs, one DisplayPort 1.2 input, RS232 control, an RJ45 LAN port, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a stereo mini jack output. The 3-in-1 USB-C port handles screen mirroring, touch control and charging of external devices at up to 15W, so a laptop can connect with a single cable. AirPlay 2 and SmartView+ allow up to 50 devices to share wirelessly, with multi-view across four screens. Workspace secured by Knox gives access to remote PCs and network drives, although some third-party apps require a service subscription.

Where it fits in Qatar

• A primary school in Al Wakrah fitting out new classrooms, where teachers write lesson notes directly on the panel and students share their work wirelessly from their own devices.
• A company meeting room in West Bay or Lusail, where a laptop connects through USB-C and the RJ45 port keeps the display on the office network.
• A training centre in Education City running small group sessions, where a 55-inch screen suits a smaller room than a large lecture hall would need.

What to plan before installation

The set measures 1297.4 x 768.2 x 59.9 mm and weighs 28.6 kg, while the package measures 1464 x 915 x 190 mm and weighs 35.9 kg. Plan delivery access and wall fixings before the day. The panel supports a 400 x 400 mm VESA pattern, and the manufacturer lists the WMN-4277SF mount and STN-WM55R stand as optional accessories for this model. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to check the wall, the power point and the cable route before installation.

Heat is the main environmental point. The operating range is 0 to 40°C at 10 to 80% humidity, non-condensing, while summer temperatures in Qatar can rise above 45°C. Install the panel in an air-conditioned room and confirm the planned conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team before the quotation is finalised. The power input is AC 100 to 240V at 50/60 Hz, with 154 W in on mode, 0.5 W in sleep mode and energy efficiency class A.

Software, management and next steps

The WM55B runs Tizen 6.5. Organisations managing several panels can use MagicINFO Remote Management to push content, alerts and warnings from a school information system, but this requires a MagicINFO licence and a separately built integration. The manufacturer states that the antimicrobial coating covers the screen surface only and does not protect users against bacteria or viruses, so treat it as a surface feature rather than a health measure.
