## Screens and displays
- [Window Displays](https://signagetec.com/products/window-displays/): A high-brightness window display is a commercial screen built to face the street through glass. It is several times brighter than an indoor TV or monitor, so the picture stays clear in direct sunlight, and it is designed to run for long hours. Double-sided models show content to passers-by on one side and to customers inside on the other.
- [Freestanding Digital Posters](https://signagetec.com/products/digital-posters/): A digital poster is a slim, portrait-format screen in a floor-standing case, used in place of printed posters. It plugs into a normal socket and plays images, video and live information. Content is managed remotely through cloud software, so you can change promotions or notices without reprinting anything.
- [Digital Menu Boards](https://signagetec.com/products/digital-menu-boards/): A digital menu board is a commercial screen that shows your menu, prices and promotions in place of a printed board. Menus are managed in cloud software, so you can change prices instantly, schedule different menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and update one site or a whole chain at the same time.
- [Outdoor Digital Displays](https://signagetec.com/products/outdoor-digital-displays/): Outdoor digital signage is a weatherproof screen housed in a sealed, temperature-controlled enclosure, designed to run outside all year. It is much brighter than an indoor screen so it stays readable in daylight, and it is managed through cloud software like any other display. Common formats are freestanding totems, wall-mounted displays and battery A-boards.
- [Video Walls](https://signagetec.com/products/video-walls/): A video wall is a group of commercial displays mounted edge to edge so they act as one large screen. Video wall panels have very thin bezels so the joins are hard to see. A controller or media player splits the picture across the screens, and the wall can show one large image or several zones of content at once.
- [LED Screens & Shop Fascias](https://signagetec.com/products/led-displays/): A digital LED shop fascia is a direct-view LED screen that replaces a printed sign above a shopfront. It is built from LED modules, so it can be made to fit the width of your fascia, and it is bright enough to be seen from across the street in daylight. Content can be changed at any time from cloud software.
- [Touch Screen Kiosks](https://signagetec.com/products/touch-screen-kiosks/): A touch screen kiosk is an interactive screen in a freestanding, wall-mounted or desktop case that customers or visitors use themselves. It runs an app or web page for tasks such as checking in, finding their way, browsing products or leaving feedback. Kiosks usually run Android or Windows and are managed remotely.
- [Battery Digital A-Boards](https://signagetec.com/products/digital-a-boards/): A digital A-board is a weatherproof outdoor screen in a portable stand that replaces a traditional pavement sandwich board. It runs on a rechargeable battery, so you wheel it out in the morning, bring it in at night and charge it overnight. Content such as offers and menus is updated from cloud software.
- [Media Players](https://signagetec.com/products/media-players/): A digital signage media player is a small computer that connects to a screen, usually by HDMI, and plays the content you schedule in your signage software. It downloads content over the internet and stores it locally, so the screen keeps playing even if the connection drops. Some commercial displays have a player built in.

## Digital signage by industry
- [Currency Exchanges](https://signagetec.com/industries/currency-exchanges/): A digital currency exchange rate board is a screen that shows foreign exchange buy and sell rates, usually with country flags, in a bureau window or above the counter. Instead of typing rates in manually, the board reads them from your rate system or feed, so every branch shows the correct rates at the same time.
- [Estate Agents](https://signagetec.com/industries/estate-agents/): Estate agents use digital window displays to show more properties than printed cards allow, rotate listings automatically and update prices or add new instructions from the office without reprinting. High-brightness screens stay readable in sunlight and keep working in the evening, when many people browse windows after work.
- [Restaurants & QSR](https://signagetec.com/industries/restaurants/): Restaurants use digital signage for menu boards above the counter, promotions in the window, A-boards on the pavement and order or queue information. Cloud software changes menus automatically for breakfast, lunch and dinner, updates prices across every branch at once, and highlights specials and meal deals.
- [Retail](https://signagetec.com/industries/retail/): Retail digital signage is the use of screens in shop windows and stores to promote products, offers and brand campaigns. Content is managed in cloud software, so retailers can launch a campaign across every store at once, schedule offers by time or day, and replace printed point-of-sale with screens that can be updated instantly.
- [Banks & Building Societies](https://signagetec.com/industries/banks/): Banks and building societies use digital signage to show savings and mortgage rates, promote products, explain services and display queue or appointment information in branches. Central control means approved content can be scheduled to every branch at once and removed on time, which helps keep promotions accurate.
- [Healthcare](https://signagetec.com/industries/healthcare/): Healthcare digital signage is the use of screens and kiosks in surgeries, clinics and hospitals to share patient information, health campaigns, wayfinding and service updates. Cloud management lets practice managers update every screen from one place, and touch screen kiosks can collect patient feedback or support check-in.
- [Education](https://signagetec.com/industries/education/): Schools, colleges and universities use digital signage to share notices, events, timetables, achievements and wayfinding, and to broadcast urgent messages across campus. Screens are managed from cloud software, so different departments can manage their own screens while central teams can override every screen in an emergency.
- [Beauty Salons](https://signagetec.com/industries/beauty-salons/): Salons and barbers use digital signage to show treatment menus and prices, before-and-after photos, offers and booking information. Window screens and pavement A-boards attract walk-ins, while screens inside promote add-on treatments and products. Content can be updated from a phone or computer in minutes.
