What is digital signage?

Digital signage is a network of commercial-grade screens showing content that is scheduled, updated and monitored remotely from a content management system (CMS). Organisations use it for reception and wayfinding screens, internal communications, menu boards, retail promotions and live data dashboards.

Unlike a TV with a USB stick, a signage network is built to run 16 to 24 hours a day, and one person can change what every screen shows from a browser. Here is why commercial displays matter.

Digital signage supply: screens, players and kits

As a digital signage supplier we hold trade accounts with the display and player manufacturers UK integrators specify most, so a quote covers the hardware, the mount, the player and the licence on one order rather than four. Everything is commercial grade; we do not supply consumer TVs for signage duty.

Digital signage software & CMS

Hardware is only half of a digital signage project; the CMS is what determines whether your team can actually run the network day-to-day. Strive AV is platform-agnostic: we deploy and support a range of digital signage software platforms depending on the size of the estate, the integrations you need, and the security posture you have to meet.

Whether you need a simple single-screen player, a multi-site CMS pulling RSS feeds and live data, or an enterprise platform with role-based access, scheduling and audit trails, we'll recommend, deploy and support the right one for your team. Platform by platform prices and picks are in our vendor-neutral answer to what the best digital signage software is.

Managed digital signage and support

Managed digital signage means someone other than your marketing team notices when a screen goes dark. A support contract covers remote monitoring with screen-on confirmation, player and CMS updates, licence renewals, warranty claims and an engineer on site when remote fixes fail. Typical UK pricing is £5 to £15 per screen per month for monitoring and helpdesk, rising to £20 to £40 per screen per month when content scheduling and on-site response are included.

Contracts sit under our AV support and maintenance service, and the whole network (screens, players, CMS and support) can be taken as a single monthly fee through AV as a Service.

Choosing a digital signage company: what good looks like

Digital signage companies range from screen resellers to full AV integrators. Whichever you shortlist, hold them to these standards:

  • A site survey before the quote. Mounting surfaces, power, network points and sight lines checked in person, not guessed from a floor plan.
  • Commercial-grade displays only. Panels rated for 16/7 or 24/7 use with a commercial warranty, never consumer TVs.
  • Vendor-neutral on screens and CMS. A recommendation based on your estate and team, not the one platform the supplier resells.
  • Information security taken seriously. ISO 27001 certification and a clear plan with your IT team for VLANs, firewall rules and single sign-on.
  • A defined support SLA. Remote monitoring that flags offline players, and on-site response times written into the contract (4 hours for critical faults is a sensible bar).
  • A transparent breakdown. Hardware, CMS, content, installation and support priced separately so you can compare bidders line by line.

Digital Signage FAQs

Q.

How much does digital signage cost per screen in the UK?

A typical commercial digital signage screen in the UK costs £500 to £4,000 fully installed for a single display, depending on size. That includes a Samsung, LG or Sharp/NEC commercial-grade panel, wall mount, basic cabling, a media player or System-on-Chip licence, and a CMS subscription for the first year. Larger screens (75-inch and 86-inch) push the per-screen price to £3,500 to £6,500. Multi-screen rollouts bring the cost per screen down sharply because design, network setup and CMS configuration are amortised across the estate.

Q.

Which displays do you supply for digital signage?

We are vendor-agnostic and supply commercial-grade displays from Samsung (QM, QH and OH outdoor series), LG (UH7 and UM3 ranges including window-facing high-bright), Sharp/NEC (M and ME series for 24/7 use), Philips and Sony Bravia Professional. Consumer TVs are not designed for digital signage duty cycles, so we always specify true commercial panels rated for 16-hour or 24/7 operation with built-in System-on-Chip players where it makes sense. The right brand depends on size, brightness (in nits), warranty length and whether the screen is portrait, landscape or window-facing.

Q.

Which digital signage CMS platforms do you support?

We deploy and support the leading UK and global digital signage CMS platforms including BrightSign, ScreenCloud, Yodeck, Samsung MagicInfo, LG SuperSign, NoviSign and Cleverlive Pro for our LED installations. Smaller estates often work brilliantly on Yodeck or ScreenCloud for ease of use and predictable per-screen pricing. Larger or compliance-sensitive networks (NHS, financial services, multi-site retail) typically benefit from BrightSign or Samsung MagicInfo for their enterprise role-based access, on-prem hosting options and audit trails. We help you pick rather than push you toward one platform.

Q.

What network and infrastructure does digital signage need?

Each digital signage screen needs power and a way to receive content, usually a wired ethernet connection or a managed Wi-Fi SSID. For multi-site rollouts we recommend a dedicated VLAN with outbound internet access to the CMS provider, no inbound ports, and bandwidth of around 5 to 10 Mbps per site for ongoing content sync. We work with your IT team on firewall rules, certificate handling and SSO integration. Where ethernet runs aren't available we can use 4G/5G routers with managed SIMs as a primary or backup connection.

Q.

Do you provide digital signage content design services?

Yes. Hardware is only half the project; content is what determines whether the screens actually drive results. We provide branded template design, motion graphics, scheduled campaign content and ongoing playlist management. Most clients launch with a content design package covering 6 to 10 templates, then move to a monthly retainer for seasonal updates, new product campaigns and live data feed integrations. We can also train your internal marketing or communications team to run the CMS in-house if you prefer to keep content creation on your side.

Q.

Can digital signage measure audience engagement?

Modern digital signage platforms can integrate optional anonymous audience analytics using on-screen sensors or AI cameras to estimate dwell time, attention rate, age range and gender, without storing any personally identifiable information. Tools like Quividi or built-in BrightSight features sit on top of the player. This is mostly used in retail and out-of-home advertising contexts where you need to prove campaign reach. We help you implement it in a GDPR-compliant way with clear signage informing visitors that anonymous measurement is taking place.

Q.

How long does a digital signage installation take?

A single-site digital signage install with one to four screens is typically completed in one to two days, including wall mounting, cabling, player configuration, CMS onboarding and basic content load. A multi-site rollout of 20 to 100 screens is usually scheduled over 4 to 8 weeks, with sites grouped by region and installed in waves to minimise disruption. We pre-stage all hardware in our warehouse (players imaged, screens bench-tested and CMS profiles loaded) so on-site time is kept to a minimum. Installation itself is covered on our digital signage installation page.

Q.

Do you offer support contracts for digital signage networks?

Yes. We offer tiered annual support contracts covering hardware warranty management, CMS licence renewal, remote monitoring with screen-on confirmation, content scheduling support and on-site response across the UK. Typical SLAs are 4-hour remote response, next-business-day or 4-hour on-site visits, and proactive alerts when a player goes offline so issues are caught before your audience notices. Support is usually priced per screen per month, with discounts for multi-site networks and committed terms.

More from our digital signage knowledge base

Detailed answers to the most-searched digital signage questions, each authored and reviewed by a Strive AV director.

What is wayfinding digital signage?

Wayfinding digital signage shows interactive maps, directories and turn-by-turn directions on screens, typically 32 to 55 inch portrait kiosks, used in hospitals, large offices, university campuses, shopping centres and transport hubs. It replaces static printed maps and lets visitors filter by department, floor, accessibility route or open-now status.

What's the difference between a commercial display and a TV?

A commercial display is a large-format screen from Samsung, LG, Philips, NEC or Sony built for 16/7 or 24/7 operation; a consumer TV is built for six to eight hours of evening viewing. Put a TV in a business and you will typically see burn-in or capacitor failure within 12 to 18 months, and a warranty that is voided the moment it is switched on commercially.

By Mark Brooks, Commercial DirectorRead full answer →

What is office digital signage?

Office digital signage is a network of commercial-grade screens showing internal communications, room availability, wayfinding, visitor information, KPIs and emergency notices. Unlike retail signage, the audience is staff and visitors, and the content skews to operational data (room status, hot-desk maps, fire muster information) over promotion.

By David Corker, Technical Sales DirectorRead full answer →

What is Samsung MagicInfo?

Samsung MagicInfo is the content management system for Samsung commercial displays, used to schedule, distribute and monitor content across one screen or thousands. It runs on the built-in System on Chip in Samsung commercial panels, removing the need for a separate media player like a BrightSign or small PC.

By David Corker, Technical Sales DirectorRead full answer →

What is retail digital signage?

Retail digital signage is a networked system of commercial-grade displays used by shops, restaurants, fuel stations and shopping centres for promotions, wayfinding, menu boards and queue information. Unlike consumer TVs, the screens are built for 16/7 or 24/7 operation, support remote content management and integrate with point-of-sale, stock and analytics systems.
