Digital signage displays are large professional screens for advertising, menu boards, information messages and video walls. Our range includes over 400 models, with SAMSUNG, LG, PHILIPS and IIYAMA among the leading brands. They suit shops, restaurants, offices, schools and public spaces where content runs for many hours a day.
How to choose a digital signage display
Screen size and viewing distance. The screen must be readable from the furthest spot where someone will stand. A menu board at a till can be fairly small, while a shop window or waiting room needs a larger panel. If you need a very large image, consider a video wall made of several displays.
Resolution. Many displays in our range are 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160), which keeps small text and photographs sharp even at close range. Full HD (1920 x 1080) models are also available and are enough when the screen is viewed from a few metres away or shows simple content. Rarer formats such as 5120 x 2160 and 1920 x 540 are meant for ultra-wide and stretched layouts.
Operating hours, brightness and panel. Signage displays are often run for 16 hours a day or around the clock, which ordinary TVs are generally not built for, so check the permitted operating time stated by the manufacturer. Brightness (cd/m²) matters in well-lit rooms and shop windows. IPS and ADS panels are known for wide viewing angles, while VA panels give deeper blacks. Most screens in our range offer a 178° viewing angle.
Connections and content management. Our range includes models with anything from one to six HDMI ports, most commonly two, three or four. Some signage displays have a built-in media player, so no separate computer is needed. If you will manage content from one central location, check that the display supports network control.
Environment. Most displays are designed for indoor use between 0 and 40 °C. If the screen will stand somewhere colder or hotter, choose a model with a wider temperature range: some of ours operate from -30 to 50 °C. Outdoors, protection against moisture and dust (an IP rating) matters as well.

Frequently asked questions about digital signage displays
How does a digital signage display differ from a TV?
A digital signage display is built for long, often continuous operation and for managing content. Such models usually offer more connection and control options, and some include a built-in player. Always check the permitted operating time in the manufacturer's specification.
Does a digital signage display need 4K resolution?
4K is not always necessary. It helps when the screen is large, viewed up close or shows small text and detailed photographs. If the content is watched from a few metres away, Full HD is often enough.
How many HDMI ports do I need?
One HDMI port is enough when a single player or computer is connected to the display. Two or three ports are useful if you need to switch between sources or keep a backup. Our range includes displays with one to six HDMI ports.
Can a signage display be used in portrait orientation?
Many professional displays can run both in landscape and portrait, but it depends on the model. Check the mounting positions permitted by the manufacturer before buying, because cooling and the screen's lifespan depend on them.
