How much does digital signage cost?+
Single 55-inch commercial display with mount, media player, and CMS: $2-4k installed plus $5-30/month CMS. Menu board wall (4 displays): $8-16k. Video wall (2x2 to 4x4 LCD): $25-100k+. LED walls scale higher based on pixel pitch and size.
Commercial display or a TV from Costco?+
Commercial. TVs are rated for 4-8 hours daily; signage runs 12-24. Consumer TVs also lack brightness for lit lobbies and often burn in with static content. The premium on commercial displays is small compared to replacement cost.
Can you build a video wall?+
Yes — LCD tile walls (2x2 to 6x6+), LED direct-view walls, and hybrid designs. Includes structural coordination, mounting rails, video processor, and content design/coordination.
Do you handle the CMS setup and content design?+
We deploy and configure the CMS and provide standard content templates. Ongoing content design is typically handled by your marketing team or a partner content agency; we can recommend one.
Can I run signage on my existing network?+
Yes — usually on a dedicated VLAN for isolation and QoS. Bandwidth is modest for image-based content, higher for video.
How reliable are digital signage systems?+
Commercial hardware runs for years unattended. Reliability issues almost always come from consumer-grade displays, PC-based players, or unmaintained CMS. Purpose-built players (BrightSign) and commercial displays are set-and-forget.
