LG 49UM5N-E – 49-inch 4K Commercial Signage Monitor

Product Overview

The LG 49UM5N-E is a 49-inch 4K commercial monitor for continuous digital signage in retail, corporate, and public spaces. This 500-nit UHD display runs LG's embedded webOS SoC, so integrators can deploy a complete webOS digital signage display without a separate media player. An IPS panel with anti-glare coating sustains legibility in bright lighting, while the 24/7 duty cycle supports always-on commercial signage. The chassis installs in portrait or landscape orientation for flexible placement.

Product Description

As shown in the product images, the 49UM5N-E uses thin bezels and hidden power inlets with simple cable management, allowing the display to sit roughly 13 mm from the wall on the slim bracket for clean recessed and flush installations. The 3840 x 2160 native resolution delivers four times the detail of Full HD, keeping menu boards, wayfinding, and corporate messaging sharp at close range. Source connectivity includes three HDMI inputs and one DisplayPort input, plus an HDMI output for content distribution across a 15 x 15 display matrix. The display works with LG SuperSign and carries Crestron Inside support, and RS-232C control input and output make it a practical RS-232C controllable commercial display in managed control environments. For demanding sites, the UM5N-E adds conformal coating on the power board to guard against salt, dust, iron powder, and humidity, an IP5X dust rating, 30-degree tilting, and shock monitoring. Security features include LG Enhanced Kernel Protection (EKP) and ISO/IEC 15408 Common Criteria EAL2 certification for information-security-sensitive deployments.
