LG 49VL5B (Discontinued) · Replacements in Qatar

Name: LG 49VL5B 49-inch FHD Narrow Bezel LCD Video Wall Display
Brand: LG
SKU: lg-49vl5b
Availability: Discontinued

Overview

The LG 49VL5B is a 49-inch FHD LCD video wall panel with 450 cd/m² brightness and bezels as narrow as 1.2 mm on the bottom and right edges. Its built-in power supply, HDMI, DVI-D and RS232C control, and VESA 600 x 400 mm mount suit tiled walls in lobbies, control rooms and meeting spaces. LG has discontinued this model, so SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or compatible replacement for your project.

What the LG 49VL5B is built for

The LG 49VL5B is a 49-inch LCD video wall panel with a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution and 450 cd/m² brightness, designed to be tiled with other panels into one larger display. Its screen measures 48.50 inches diagonally, and the frame is narrow enough to keep the gaps between units small when several are joined in a grid. LG has discontinued this model, so it is mainly sought by organisations extending an existing wall, replacing a damaged panel, or comparing it with newer video wall options.

Bezels, brightness and mounting facts that matter

The bezel measures 2.3 mm on the left and top edges and 1.2 mm on the right and bottom edges. The visible seam therefore depends on how the panels are aligned in both directions, so check the layout before ordering. The monitor measures 1,077.7 x 607.8 x 89.7 mm, weighs 17.8 kg, and uses a VESA 600 x 400 mm mount interface. With 450 cd/m² brightness, confirm the lighting in the room before installation, especially if the wall faces a large window that admits daylight.

Connectivity and control

Inputs include HDMI, DVI-D and RGB, and a DVI-D output lets the signal pass on to a second display. For control, the unit provides RS232C in and out, an RJ45 port, a USB port and an IR receiver, so the wall can be managed from a room controller or a central system. The optional slot PC is not supported, but an external media player can be attached. The panel is compatible with SuperSign-w lite and SuperSign-c for content management.

Where it fits in Qatar

Corporate lobbies in West Bay or Lusail, where a tiled wall shows company news and wayfinding.
University or training centre control rooms in Education City, where operators monitor several feeds at once.
Government or energy company operations rooms in Doha and Ras Laffan, where a tiled wall supports shift monitoring.

Environment and power planning

The rated operating range is 0°C to 40°C with humidity between 10% and 80%. Qatar summer temperatures often exceed 45°C, so this panel belongs in an air-conditioned indoor space rather than a sun-exposed lobby or an outdoor kiosk. The built-in power supply accepts 100-240V at 50/60Hz, which covers the 240 V mains used in Qatar. Typical consumption is 90W, and the smart energy saving figure is 40W. The model carries UL, cUL, CB, TUV and KC safety approvals, FCC Class A, CE and KCC EMC marks, and Energy Star 6.0.

Planning your order with SmartRooms Qatar

Wall-mounting 17.8 kg panels in rows requires a structure designed for the combined load, which is why SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey before installation. Decide early whether you need the optional landscape WM-L640V or portrait WM-P640V wall mount, since the basic package includes a guide bracket and screws only. Government ministries and schools can issue an LPO or reference a tender, and payment is by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Request a quote for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement, and the SmartRooms Qatar team will confirm availability and an estimated lead time within your quotation.

Questions about 49VL5B

What is the LG 49VL5B designed to do?

The LG 49VL5B is a 49-inch LCD panel built to be tiled with other panels into one larger display. It offers 1,920 x 1,080 Full HD resolution and 450 cd/m² brightness, and it is typically used in lobbies, control rooms and meeting areas where a wall of screens shows shared content. Because the model is discontinued, most buyers are extending or repairing an existing wall.

Has LG discontinued the 49VL5B?

Yes. The manufacturer has discontinued this model and no longer produces it. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement for your wall. If you already own units and want to add panels, send us your existing layout and mount details so we can check which current models will match them.

How do the bezels affect a tiled wall?

The bezel is 2.3 mm on the left and top and 1.2 mm on the right and bottom. Narrow frames keep visible seams small, but the gap is not identical in both directions, so the wall may look slightly different horizontally and vertically. Ask your integrator to check panel alignment and content layout before you approve the quotation.

Is 450 cd/m² enough for a lobby with large windows in West Bay?

At 450 cd/m², the panel suits interiors with controlled lighting. A West Bay lobby with a large glass frontage facing strong daylight may wash out the picture, so measure the ambient light at the planned position. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar can check the room, the sun angle and the mounting position before you commit to a purchase order.

Which inputs and outputs does it offer?

The inputs are HDMI, DVI-D and RGB, and the DVI-D output passes the signal on to a second display. For control, it has RS232C in and out, an RJ45 port, a USB port and an IR receiver. The RS232C cable and IR receiver are included in the basic package, so a room controller or central system can switch and manage the panel.

Can it play content without a PC?

The optional slot PC is not supported, but an external media player can be attached. The panel is listed as compatible with SuperSign-w lite and SuperSign-c software for content management. Before ordering, confirm with the SmartRooms Qatar team which media player you plan to use so the setup matches your content workflow.

Can I install this panel in an outdoor kiosk or a sun-exposed area?

No. Its rated operating range is 0°C to 40°C with 10% to 80% humidity. Qatar summer temperatures often pass 45°C, so this panel belongs in an air-conditioned indoor space. For any outdoor or sun-facing location, ask SmartRooms Qatar for an alternative rated for that environment before you request a quote.

What power does it need and how much does it draw?

It uses a built-in power supply rated 100-240V at 50/60Hz, which covers the 240 V, 50 Hz mains used in Qatar. Typical consumption is 90W, and the smart energy saving figure is 40W. For a wall of several panels, add these figures together and confirm circuit capacity with your electrical contractor before installation.

Which wall mounts fit this panel?

The panel has a VESA 600 x 400 mm mount interface. SmartRooms Qatar can supply the optional landscape WM-L640V or portrait WM-P640V wall mount, and the basic package includes a guide bracket and screws. Measure your wall and the 17.8 kg head weight before choosing, and request a site survey for multi-panel installations.

How should a control room in Ras Laffan plan a multi-panel wall?

Start with operator sightlines, the number of feeds, and the location of the equipment cabinet for cable routing. Each panel needs a planned route for its HDMI or DVI input and RS232C control, and the wall needs a structure rated for several 17.8 kg panels. A SmartRooms Qatar site survey covers these points, and the quotation then lists the panels and accessories you need.

Can a school in Al Rayyan buy several units on a purchase order?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar supplies schools and institutions against purchase orders (LPOs) and accepts payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Send the quantity and your LPO requirements with your request, and the quotation is usually issued within one working day. Because the model is discontinued, stock will be confirmed first, and any current replacement will be quoted alongside it.

Which safety and energy certifications does it hold?

The data lists UL, cUL, CB, TUV and KC for safety, FCC Class A, CE and KCC for EMC, and Energy Star 6.0 for energy. These approvals help when a ministry, school or company asks for compliance evidence in a tender. If your tender requires a specific certificate not listed here, ask SmartRooms Qatar before submitting your bid.
