What the ViewBoard 5550-5 is built for

The ViewBoard 5550-5 is a 55-inch interactive display for rooms where people write, annotate and share content on one screen. It has a 3840 x 2160 IPS panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and its anti-glare coating with 7H surface hardness helps it handle bright rooms and frequent contact. The panel is landscape-oriented, with a typical brightness of 350 nits and a typical contrast ratio of 1,200:1.

Horizontal and vertical viewing angles are both rated at 178 degrees typical, so people seated off to the side can still follow the content, which matters in rooms where the front of the panel is used for teaching or presenting.

Touch, ports and the single-cable workflow

Touch is rated at up to 40 points on Windows and 20 points on Android, so several people can write at the same time. The USB-C port carries DP 1.2 video, USB 2.0 data, 100M Ethernet and power delivery of up to 65W, so a laptop can connect with one cable. The panel also provides three HDMI 2.0 inputs, one HDMI output, two RJ45 LAN ports, an RS-232 port, an optical S/PDIF output, an OPS slot and a Wi-Fi module slot.

Where it fits across Qatar

In a primary school in Al Wakrah fitting out a new classroom, the ViewBoard 5550-5 gives teachers one board for lesson slides, handwritten notes and video, and the 55-inch size suits a smaller classroom. In a training centre in Msheireb, trainers can share content from a laptop over USB-C or wirelessly through ViewBoard Cast, Airplay or Chromecast, so presenters do not need to swap cables. In a boardroom in West Bay, a compatible slot-in PC installed in the OPS slot can run Windows applications directly on the screen.

Planning the installation and the Qatar climate

The operating range is 0°C to 40°C with 10% to 90% humidity, non-condensing. Summer temperatures in Qatar can exceed 45°C, so the panel should sit in an air-conditioned room, away from direct sunlight, windows and unconditioned lobbies. Ask your facilities team to confirm the room cooling before daily use.

For wall mounting, the VESA pattern is 400 x 200 mm. The net weight is 26.4 kg and the boxed weight is 35.5 kg, so two people should lift the unit, and a free site survey is worth booking before drilling. Physical dimensions are 1270.8 x 773.9 x 84.8 mm. The box includes clamps, screws, a top camera plate and two touch pens, and the power supply accepts 100-240 VAC with typical consumption of 89W.

Ordering for schools, offices and tenders

Schools and government bodies can order through a purchase order (LPO) or a Monaqasat tender. SmartRooms Qatar supplies the panel, delivers to all 8 municipalities of Qatar and can carry out professional installation. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. The product is covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
