55SOA25PT

An air-conditioned outdoor display for year-round use

The Hisense 55SOA25PT is a 55-inch portrait display housed in a sealed, air-conditioned cabinet rated IP65. It is specified for full outdoor operation around the clock, so it suits entrances, plazas and covered forecourts where an indoor screen would overheat, collect dust or get wet. Hisense has discontinued this model, and the details below describe the unit as the manufacturer specified it.

Screen performance in daylight

The Full HD panel has a 1920 x 1080 resolution, a 16:9 active area of 1210 x 680 mm and a rated brightness of 2500 nits, which is what keeps content readable under strong sun. The contrast ratio is 1,200:1 and the viewing angle is 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically, so people approaching from the side can still read it. A light sensor adjusts brightness automatically as conditions change, and the backlight is rated for 50,000 hours of use.

Connectivity, software and touch options

Inputs include two HDMI ports, a USB 2.0 port, a LAN port, a TF card slot and an RS232 port for control. HDMI out and AV out allow the signal to be passed on. The unit runs Android 7.1 on a quad-core Amlogic processor with 2GB DDR4 memory and 16GB eMMC storage, which can be expanded with a memory card up to 128GB. Wi-Fi or LAN is provided, while 3G/4G is optional. A speaker is built in. The listed interface languages are Chinese and English, so ask about Arabic before ordering for a bilingual site. Touch is listed as an option, so confirm with the SmartRooms Qatar team whether your quote includes a P-CAP, 10-point touch layer.

Where it fits in Qatar

Three situations suit this model well:

• A hospital or clinic entrance in Doha, showing visitor directions and notices around the clock, where the enclosure keeps the electronics away from dust and rain.
• A shopping plaza in Lusail, where bright daylight can wash out a standard display, but a 2500 nit rating supports readable promotions.
• An industrial site in Mesaieed or the Industrial Area, displaying access and safety information in dusty conditions.

Heat, dust and mounting plans

Summer temperatures in Qatar regularly exceed 45°C. The rated operating ambient range of -40°C to 55°C, with humidity from 5% to 95%, covers these conditions, and the built-in air conditioner and overheating protection manage internal heat. The cabinet is IP65, which provides dust-tight protection and resistance to water jets. Before ordering, plan the site with the following in mind:

• The cabinet measures 2100 mm high, 848 mm wide and 255 mm deep.
• Net weight is 200 kg, so the fixing or base structure must be checked.
• Packing dimensions are 2280 x 980 x 500 mm, so check delivery access.
• The listed power input is 110/220V, 50/60Hz with a maximum draw of 750W.

SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys across Qatar, and we recommend one before a unit this size is installed. Because the listed input is 110/220V and Qatar mains is 240 V, 50 Hz, confirm the power arrangement with our team before ordering.
