Name: LG 49VL5F-A 49-inch Slim Bezel Video Wall Panel (Discontinued)
Brand: LG
SKU: lg-49vl5f-a
Availability: Discontinued

Overview

The LG 49VL5F-A is a 49-inch FHD LCD video wall panel with a narrow bezel, an IPS panel and 450 nits typical brightness, built for tiled displays in lobbies, corridors and control rooms. LG has discontinued this model, so SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or compatible replacement for organisations that already run it or are comparing options in Qatar.

What the 49VL5F-A is built to do

The LG 49VL5F-A is a 49-inch narrow-bezel LCD panel designed to be tiled into a larger video wall. Each unit offers a 1,920 x 1,080 Full HD resolution, an IPS panel and 450 nits typical brightness. It suits advertising and information content in indoor commercial spaces, where a group of screens has to read as one picture.

Discontinued model. LG has discontinued the 49VL5F-A. This page is written for organisations that already operate these panels, buyers comparing them with newer options, and anyone who needs a replacement. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement.

Bezels, image gaps and viewing angles

The bezel measures 2.25 mm on the top and left and 1.25 mm on the bottom and right, which leaves roughly 3.5 mm between tiled screens. An image gap reduction algorithm adjusts content that crosses bezel boundaries during video playback, so motion across the wall looks more continuous. The IPS panel keeps colours consistent when viewed from the side or from above, which matters because wall screens are often mounted above eye level.

Picture controls for a multi-screen installation

Colour temperature can be changed in 100K steps from the remote control, so neighbouring panels can be matched. White balance can be adjusted for each grey scale value rather than only at full white, giving technicians finer control when calibrating a row of screens. The menus are arranged for commercial use, with a four-way navigation remote and larger on-screen text for reading from a distance.

Connectivity and control

Inputs: HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D, RGB, audio and USB 2.0.
Output: DisplayPort and audio, for passing the signal on to another display.
Control: RS232C in and out, RJ45 LAN and IR input.
Content software: SuperSign CMS and SuperSign Control/Control+.

The panel is not compatible with OPS-type media player modules, so content must come from an external player connected to one of its video inputs.

Where it fits in Qatar

A hospital in Doha might install a 2 x 2 wall in an air-conditioned lobby to show wayfinding and visitor information. A bank branch in West Bay could run a 3 x 1 wall for rates and announcements in a space lit by indoor lighting. At a school in Al Wakrah, corridor walls could display timetables and event listings, managed from one computer by the facilities team over the network.

What to plan before ordering

Each head weighs 17.8 kg and ships in a 22.8 kg packed carton, so the wall structure and fixings must be checked before delivery. The VESA pattern is 600 x 400 mm. The box includes a guide bracket and screws, and optional WM-L640V (landscape) and WM-P640V (portrait) wall mounts are available. The operating range is 0 to 40 °C at 10 to 80 percent humidity, and Qatar summers can exceed 45 °C, so the installation room must be air-conditioned. Power is 100-240V at 50/60Hz, with a typical draw of 90 W and a maximum of 110 W per panel.

SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey before wall-mounting, delivers to all eight municipalities of Qatar and provides professional installation. We accept bank transfer, cheque and purchase orders, including LPOs for government and school buyers. To confirm a current equivalent for your wall, request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar; quotations are usually returned within one working day.

Questions about 49VL5F-A

Is the LG 49VL5F-A still sold by LG?

No. LG has discontinued the 49VL5F-A, so new units may not be available from the manufacturer. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement for your wall and can check whether your existing mounts and cables will work with it. Send the wall size and number of panels so the comparison is like for like.

What is this panel designed for?

It is a 49-inch LCD panel for tiled video walls in indoor commercial settings, showing advertising, wayfinding and information content. A bank in West Bay wanting lobby information, for example, would be a typical fit. Its 1,920 x 1,080 resolution and IPS panel keep images readable for visitors standing at different angles to the wall.

How narrow is the bezel, and how big is a 2 x 2 wall?

The bezel is 2.25 mm on the top and left and 1.25 mm on the bottom and right, giving roughly 3.5 mm between tiled screens. Based on the 1,077.6 mm monitor width, a 2 x 2 wall is about 2,159 mm wide and 1,219 mm high before any frame or mount is added. A hotel in Lusail planning a reception wall should confirm final dimensions during a site survey.

Can it run in a hot space, such as a sunny atrium in Doha?

Only in an air-conditioned indoor space. The operating range is 0 to 40 °C at 10 to 80 percent humidity, while Qatar summers can exceed 45 °C. Keep the wall out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, and confirm the room's cooling before installation. The SmartRooms Qatar team can review the location with you during a free site survey.

Does it work with Qatar's mains electricity?

Yes. The built-in power supply accepts 100-240V at 50/60Hz, which covers the 240V supply used in Qatar. Typical consumption is 90 W and maximum is 110 W per panel, and the Smart Energy Saving mode is rated at 55 W. Plan one socket for each panel on the wall and use the power cord supplied with the unit.

What inputs and outputs does it have?

Inputs are HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D, RGB, audio and USB 2.0. It also has a DisplayPort output and an audio output for passing the signal to another display. A PC or signage player can feed the wall directly, so check your source type before the quotation is finalised to confirm the cables you need.

Can it be controlled from a central system?

Yes. It has RS232C in and out, an RJ45 LAN port and an IR input, so it can be integrated into a room or building control setup, while the remote control handles local adjustments. A university in Education City that wants to manage foyer screens from a facilities office should confirm the control protocol with SmartRooms Qatar before ordering.

Can I add an OPS media player?

No. The manufacturer lists this model as not compatible with OPS-type media players. Content must come from an external player connected through HDMI, DisplayPort or DVI-D. Ask SmartRooms Qatar to specify a player that suits your content and network before you order, so the wall is complete when it is handed over.

Which software manages the content?

The source data lists SuperSign CMS for content management and SuperSign Control and Control+ for control and monitoring. A school in Al Wakrah running several walls could schedule content centrally and monitor each panel from one place. Confirm the software version you need in your quotation, as availability depends on the current release.

How do I match colour across several panels?

Colour temperature can be adjusted in 100K steps with the remote, and white balance can be set for each grey scale value instead of only at full white. Technicians can calibrate a row of panels so a shared background looks consistent across the wall. Adjustments are made on site, so allow time during commissioning for every panel in the array.

What mounts and accessories are included?

The box includes a remote controller, power cord, RS232C cable, LAN cable, DP cable, IR receiver, guide bracket, screws and manual. Optional mounts are the WM-L640V for landscape and WM-P640V for portrait orientation. The VESA pattern is 600 x 400 mm, so check mount compatibility with your wall plan before ordering.

Can a government ministry or school in Qatar order this with an LPO?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs), government tenders including those run through Monaqasat, and payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. A quotation can list the panels, mounts and cables together, with delivery to any of Qatar's eight municipalities and professional installation included if you need it.
