We’re excited to share that Q‑Play can now run on Samsung’s new Color E‑Paper (e‑ink) displays. This opens up new possibilities for ultra‑low‑energy consumption digital signage.  

Samsung Color E‑Paper combines the look of traditional printed posters with the flexibility of digital signage, consuming near‑zero power.  

By enabling Q‑Play on these devices, we’re proud to be among the first digital signage software providers in Europe to support Samsung’s e‑paper displays. This means businesses can now manage e‑paper signage centrally, update content remotely, and integrate it into an existing Q‑Play signage setup.  

Why Q‑Play + Samsung Color E‑Paper?

• Extremely low energy consumption
  Ideal for sustainability‑focused deployments and locations with limited power access.  

• Paper‑like readability
  Excellent visibility in bright environments, with no glare.  

• Centralized content management
  Update, schedule, and control e‑paper screens through Q‑Play.

• Perfect for static content.
  Menus, price lists, wayfinding, opening hours, promotions, and informational signage.

Designed for real‑world use cases

E‑paper signage with Q‑Play is especially well suited for:

• Retail and in‑store communication

• Hospitality menus and info boards

• Offices and corporate communication

• Museums, public buildings, and education

• Environments where sustainability and power consumption matter

We are pleased to announce that Nordicscreen now fully supports LG WebOS 8. This update ensures compatibility with LG’s newest lineup of professional signage screens, including the UH5Q series and upcoming generations based on the same software platform. As these screens reach the market, Nordicscreen is tested and ready.

Alongside WebOS 8, we have strengthened our SoC support. Nordicscreen has supported LG SoC players for some time, but with the latest update it is now a complete and fully refined experience. The internal player inside the screen handles everything, offering smoother performance, better stability and improved diagnostics.

What This Means For You

Full compatibility with LG WebOS 8
Nordicscreen runs seamlessly on the newest LG screen platform. This prepares your signage setup for the current and future WebOS 8 models entering the market.

SoC support that is now fully developed
Our SoC integration is no longer just compatible. It is now fully built out, giving you better performance, better reliability and a more predictable setup on LG’s internal player.

No external media player required
With the fully developed SoC support, the screen itself is all you need. This simplifies installation and reduces the number of devices you depend on.

More stability through deeper diagnostics
From version 1.3.5 and onward, Nordicscreen receives more detailed system data from LG devices. This helps us support you more effectively and contributes to smoother long‑term operation.

Ready for the latest LG hardware
The UH5Q series and future WebOS 8 screens are already supported, so you can deploy or upgrade with confidence.
