The Samsung QM55B from the new QMB series delivers ultra-high 4K resolution with intelligent UHD upscaling that makes even Full HD content look even better. With a brightness of 500 cd/m², the display is sufficient for rooms with normal brightness. The QM55B also has a glare-free panel so that your content is visible from all angles. New: The Samsung QM55B now also has a video conferencing solution on board, which you can easily install via a firmware update.

As already known from other series, this digital signage display also has IP5x certification, which protects the panel from dust and thus may also be used in industrial environments. Interested? Then just read on:

The Samsung QM55B is a very versatile display: you can use it in the digital signage sector or you can turn it into a video conferencing solution and use it in your meeting and conference room. Whether it's just a display for food and drinks in a restaurant or for your team members to network with each other in the next meeting, the Samsung QM55B is the right choice. We will describe why in the following:

Let's start with the new features of the Samsung QM55B of the new QMB series: The professional display can now also be used for video conferencing. You can use the video call application to connect with your colleagues and start team meetings. The QM55B has built-in video conferencing solutions that support all popular web conferencing apps. You can install the video call application via a firmware update (from quarter 2/2022). The only thing you then need in addition to the Samsung QM55B is a video conferencing camera*, which you can integrate via the USB port. This turns the next team meeting or brainstorming session into an active exchange of information and ideas: Decisions can be made faster, as even employees in the home office or in the branch office in London can be included.

* =Camera must be purchased separately; cameras supported so far (9 models) : Logitech C930e, C922, C922x, C925E, C920s, C920, C920-C, C930C, Logitech Stream Cam.

In addition, the Samsung QM55B offers the SmartView+ function and thus the possibility to easily connect mobile devices to the display (Windows, Android, iOS are supported; Mobile OS will be available from the firmware update in Q2 2022) - ideal for bring-your-own-devices meetings. Up to 50 participants can easily connect to the QM55B. To do this, you can either download the app or open a browser and call up a special page. The moderator of the meeting or conference can then freely and flexibly determine which of the 50 participants may be displayed on the QM55B. But that's not all: up to 4 participants can simultaneously share their tablet, smartphone or notebook screens on the display via Smart View+, which makes ideal for product comparisons, for example. With SmartView+, you therefore save on purchasing additional BYOD hardware and already have everything you need on board.

With the Samsung QM55B you have the opportunity to improve your everyday meeting life in the long term . In addition to a web browser, functions such as a direct RDP connection option and a workspace function with direct cloud service access for Office 365 and VMware Horizon, among others, are also available. VMware Horizon offers you a digital workplace with efficient provision of virtual desktops and applications for employees from anywhere, at any time and on any device. With extensive integration into the VMware technology partner network, the platform has an agile cloud-enabled foundation, modern management and end-to-end security. It's a way to move with the times and it doesn't matter where your "workspace" is located. For more information just follow this link. With the remote desktop connection, you also have the option of connecting your PC to a desired server. Using the existing Bluetooth interface, you can connect a mouse and keyboard to the display and in no time at all you have a smart Workplace that you can make available to your employees.

Another new feature of the Samsung QM55B is the customised start screen: It is designed to make conference rooms easier to manage. This allows administrators to lock certain settings for meetings, so users can't then change them between meetings. Disable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth if it is not allowed or desired in your organisation due to regulations. But you can now also lock connections at any time and thus prevent unwanted switching of sources. With this solution, your conference rooms can work as intended throughout the day, allowing IT to focus on other tasks and preventing application errors.

The Samsung QMB Series also has built-in professional modes that simply offer more options in certain industries. The built-in Director mode minimises post-processing and matches the content to the original 'director's' desired presentation. From colour representation to image proportion, you can then express your vision without distortion.

Interesting for medical professionals among you: In addition, there is the DICOM mode, which is designed for the medical field. Medical teams can simulate medical images such as X-rays with the DICOM simulation mode and thus meet the full greyscale standards of DICOM. In doing so, this mode is ideal for use in research and teaching, where, for example, it is important to make judgements based on X-ray images. A short digression for all those who had nothing to do with DICOM: Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is a worldwide open standard for storing and exchanging medical image data. For the projection of medical images, DICOM specification 14 on greyscale behaviour plays the decisive role. With normal devices, fine details in the greyscales are lost due to the overly high-contrast display. This is prevented in the DICOM specification by defining the greyscale behaviour with the help of a gamma curve. This gamma curve is specifically designed for black and white representations of medical systems. This means that you can also use the Samsung QM55B for medical congresses or training courses for education and training purposes.

The Samsung QM55B comes with the TIZEN 6.5 operating system. The combination - of professional hardware and powerful operating system - enables you to use entirely new functions that will make your everyday business life much easier. With the Tizen Zero configuration, you also give your IT expert a little treat, especially when multiple units at different locations are involved. After all, once you have registered the Samsung QM55B via the Tizen Business Manager, new apps and applications can easily be installed remotely, eliminating unnecessary routes and local installations. This gives the IT department more time for other things.

In addition, the QM55B has 16GB of internal memory where you can store, configure and play back your videos and pictures. In this way, you can create a digital scoreboard in no time at all. All you need is a USB stick with your content and the supplied remote control. Via the display itself, you can then create simple schedules and playlists and save pictures, music and videos on the device. You can even use it to set the display's on/off times. Even if the power goes out or the display is unplugged, this is no problem for the QM55B. As soon as the power is restored, the display switches itself back on within the time schedule and starts playing your playlist. For first steps in the world of digital signage, this is a very good option. Of course, the QM55B is MagicInfo ready. So you can connect this display to a MagicInfo server at any time. Create your first digital signage content within minutes and publish it on all existing displays. No matter from where in the world you are working, with MagicInfo you can easily create and publish your own advertising. Through the connection to MagicInfo, each Samsung signage display can be monitored and adjusted remotely at any time, and even firmware updates can be set in advance and applied at a specific time. The QM55B also has built-in Bluetooth functionality that allows you to add personalised and interactive services to MagicInfo. So the QM55B is not just a pure display screen with a 4K player, but also offers you a direct and easy entry into the world of digital advertising. Convince yourself of the possibilities and use the latest technology. Find out more about MagicInfo and our own MagicInfoCloud solution here.

A practical feature of the Samsung QMB series is that the displays all have an integrated MagicInfo player. The player can display videos and content in both portrait and landscape mode. Thanks to the multi-video playback function, you can display several videos at the same time, which makes for perfect staging, especially on large-format screens. In this way, MagicInfo can also be used in command centres at any time. When playing back videos, up to three videos in full HD quality from multiple sources can be played back simultaneously and gaps in content transitions are eliminated for seamless playback. The MagicInfo Player is compatible with many web formats and standards. In addition, it eliminates the need to purchase external hardware, which not only saves space but also significantly reduces operating costs while minimising maintenance costs. Additionally, MagicInfo Player is HTML5 compatible, allowing you to play content efficiently and effectively without the need for file conversion or additional steps. Through Tizen app playback, you can play Tizen app-based web content. Another feature is the integration of livestream videos from the Internet. Easily embed livestreaming content into your ads with the MagicInfo and combine it with a liveticker or a weather widget. MagicInfo offers you a large selection and a wide range of possibilities and, if you wish, you can easily programme something yourself using HTML5.

Now let's move on to the picture quality of the Samsung QM55B: The Samsung QM55B has an ultra-high resolution display with 3840 x 2160 pixels to play back high-quality digital signage content or 4K videos. Samsung has also integrated Dynamic Crystal Color technology into this QMB series to deliver a wider colour spectrum for more lifelike images. You get crystal-clear, lifelike colours with 64 times more hues than conventional UHD displays. Plus, subtle differences are rendered with 10-bit processing for near flawless colour expression, ensuring your content looks lifelike.

You don't always have 4K-quality content, that's for sure. So if you "only" have Full HD images, presentations and videos available, Samsung's Intelligent Picture Quality technology will reach out and enhance the quality of your content all by itself. UHD Intelligent Upscaling technology, powered by Samsung's Quantum Processor 4K, upscales lower resolution videos to UHD level and then provides professional picture quality. The QM55B converts an existing presentation to UHD quality and optimises text and images on the screen with sharp edges and fine details. The result is really impressive, especially in a direct comparison between conventional upscaling and Samsung's technology, the solution is convincing and offers real added value.

The Samsung QM55B has a reliable, glare-free panel and thus offers better visibility from all angles at any time of day. This allows companies to provide information in critical locations such as airports and train stations. No matter where the viewer then stands, they can read flight details, arrival times and delays, even when there is lighting in the foreground.

Great news regarding the calibration of the Samsung QM55B: With the QMB series displays, you can calibrate the display using the Samsung mobile app. This allows you to make adjustments to get the best picture quality. Basically, you get every display with standardised settings. However, these are often neither optimal nor adapted to your environment (lighting conditions) or your preferences. To ensure that the content fits your requirements and wishes, you can now easily adjust the display professionally yourself and without expensive Spyder hardware. Basic mode offers a quick and easy way to calibrate the screens within 30 seconds, while Professional mode optimises the screens for flawless image quality in about 10 minutes. So if the display of colours bothers you, for example, you find the colour tone too warm or too cold, you can make your desired adjustments here. Samsung thus guarantees you complete brand consistency on any display in any location. With Samsung's mobile app, Smart Calibration ensures that every display is correctly calibrated, displaying brand logos and other collateral in the exact colours required.

But the Samsung QM55B is also impressive on the outside: it has a slim frame and symmetrical design, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into any environment. To maximise space savings, all connections are oriented outwards to ensure that the display hangs flush against any wall. In addition, the QM55B features the 'Clean Cable Guide' function: The smart cable guide ensures a neat installation and a tidy display area even when you want to use the display as a freestanding solution and you can see the back of the QM55B. The perfect solution for detail lovers, yet even better for integration into furniture or a wall installation.

You can install the QM55B in landscape mode or portrait mode . For mounting, you can use the VESA standard 400 x 400 mm and the weight of 18.1 kg as a guide. You can either install the display directly on the wall using a wall bracket or use a stand, trolley or height-adjustable bracket. With the corresponding parameters VESA standard and weight of the QM55B, you are welcome to select your desired mount yourself in our shop. If you have any questions, our customer service is also available by phone, e-mail or live chat. Whether you install the QM55B in portrait or landscape format, your content will always be displayed correctly. Thanks to the auto level, the content on the display is automatically rotated vertically or horizontally. In addition, the QM55B also automatically detects incorrect pan directions to keep the display in the correct orientation as well.

Whether you want to use the signage display in a conference room or promote new products, the QM55B helps you showcase your content perfectly. To help you create and publish your digital signage content quickly and efficiently, the QM55B offers an integrated Samsung MagicInfo solution. The connection to the display can be established via WiFi or LAN. With Samsung MagicInfo, you can easily create schedules yourself on the display or on the computer and define at which times the display is switched on or off. The schedule also remains in effect even if you disconnect the display from the power supply overnight. Even for public holidays, you can set your individual times. Create your first advertising content in no time at all to impress your customers. MagicInfo Lite is available free of charge and with the professional, but also chargeable MagicInfo Premium licence, you can increase the performance and variety even further. By connecting to MagicInfo, the display can be monitored and adjusted remotely at any time, and a scheduled firmware update can also be applied at any time. The QM55B also has a integrated Bluetooth functionality that allows you to extend MagicInfo with personalised and interactive services. So the QM55B is not just a pure display with a 4K player, but also offers you a direct entry into the world of digital advertising. Convince yourself of the possibilities and use the latest technology.

Let's move on to the connections, which are definitely adequate on the Samsung QM55B. The 4K display has three HDMI 2.0 HDCP 2.2 connections and one DisplayPort 1.2 connection. In addition there is of course a RJ45 port for wired connection to the network and two USB 2.0 ports so that you can connect a mouse, keyboard or USB sticks to the display. Especially in meeting rooms you need a number of connections because you can always react to changing participants and their different feed devices. Thanks to Remote Desktop Connection, you can also easily establish a wireless connection with your PC in the network and operate and control it remotely. Two 10-watt speakers are already included, so you don't necessarily need an external speaker system in small rooms.

Samsung offers a 3-year manufacturer's warranty for the QM55B display.
