What the Hisense 55SOF25PT is

The Hisense 55SOF25PT is a 55-inch outdoor display built into a weatherproof cabinet for digital signage and kiosk installations. It is mounted in portrait orientation and designed for sites where the screen and enclosure stay exposed to the weather. Hisense has discontinued this model and lists it among its end-of-life products, so this page serves organisations that already operate one, buyers comparing it with newer options, and anyone who needs a replacement that matches its specification.

Screen performance in bright light

The panel offers FHD (1920 x 1080) resolution in a 16:9 ratio, with an active area of 1210 x 680 mm. Its rated brightness is 2500 nits, the figure that matters most when a screen sits in direct sun or under a covered canopy. A light sensor drives automatic brightness control, the contrast ratio is 1200:1, and viewing angles are rated at 178 degrees horizontally and vertically. The backlight is rated for 50,000 hours and the display is specified for 24/7 operation.

Enclosure, cooling and protection

The cabinet is rated IP55 and uses 6.8 mm laminated, tempered anti-vandal glass with an anti-reflective coating. Inside, a built-in airflow fan works with overheating protection to manage heat. The rated ambient operating range is -20°C to 45°C at 5% to 90% humidity. Qatar summer afternoons can exceed that upper limit, so the position of the unit matters. A shaded, ventilated location should be agreed before installation, and the SmartRooms Qatar team checks this during a free site survey.

Where it fits across Qatar

• Shopping malls in Lusail or West Bay: a portrait screen at a covered entrance or walkway, showing store directories and promotions to visitors arriving from the car park.
• Hotels and serviced apartments in The Pearl or Al Sadd: arrival and wayfinding information placed under a canopy, where the screen must stay readable on a bright day.
• Industrial sites in Mesaieed or Ras Laffan: visitor, safety and access information at a site gate, where the locked front door keeps the unit secure.

Planning the installation

The unit measures 2100 mm high, 900 mm wide and 150 mm deep, with a net weight of 168 kg and a packing size of 2280 x 1050 x 500 mm. Plan for a stable base or foundation, lifting equipment on delivery day and clear access to the front door. Power is listed as AC 100/220V at 50/60 Hz with built-in power and a maximum draw of 380 W. Because Qatar's mains supply is 240 V, confirm the power arrangement with the SmartRooms Qatar team before connection.

For content and control, the unit provides two HDMI inputs, one HDMI output, one USB 2.0 port, a LAN port, an RS232 port, a TF card slot and an AV output. It runs Android 7.1 with 2GB DDR4 memory and 16GB eMMC storage, expandable to 128GB by memory card. Wi-Fi or LAN is listed for networking, with 3G/4G as an optional extra. A built-in speaker is included, and a touchscreen is available as an option with 10-point P-CAP touch.
