LED displays · Poster
Every other display on this site is a construction decision. A poster display is a purchase you can reposition next week — which makes it the right first screen for most businesses.

A poster display is a slim, free-standing LED screen on a stand or a wheeled base. It replaces the printed standee at an entrance, a counter or an aisle end — the difference being that the message changes in seconds instead of a reprint, and it holds attention in a way paper stopped doing years ago.
What makes it genuinely different from the other formats is that it isn't built into anything. No mounting structure, no dedicated power run, no fabrication lead time. It arrives, it plugs in, and if the position turns out to be wrong you move it. For a business testing whether a display earns its cost at all, that reversibility is worth more than any specification.
They are also modular. Panels stack to make a taller display or combine into a wider one, so the same units can be a single poster at the door this month and a larger wall for an event next month. Sizes are made to order rather than picked from a fixed catalogue.
The decisions that are expensive to reverse once the structure is built.
Because nothing is built in, the cost of being wrong is close to zero — you move it, or you use it somewhere else entirely. For a first display this matters more than specification: most businesses discover where a screen earns attention by watching one for a month, not by planning it. Fixed installations don't give you that.
Poster displays are read from a metre or two — someone pausing at a door or standing in a queue. That's the demanding end of the viewing-distance rule, so they use a fine pitch. It's also why buying an outdoor-grade panel for a doorway is money spent on the wrong problem.
Panels combine into taller or wider configurations, so the display is sized to the doorway, the alcove or the counter it has to fit. Worth measuring the space and its clearances first — including how the display gets through the door on delivery.
A display that gets wheeled around, taken to an event and set up by whoever is free is exposed to knocks that a wall-mounted panel never sees. Base stability, edge protection and how simple the setup is matter more here than raw specification — a screen nobody can put up on their own stays in the store room.
Poster displays are built for indoor use — entrances, interiors and covered areas. A doorway that gets direct sun or driven rain is an outdoor position regardless of whether it has a roof, and needs outdoor-grade hardware instead. We'll flag it during the assessment if that's your case.
A shop display has about two seconds of a pedestrian's attention. Almost every specification decision — brightness, position, pitch, content length — follows from that, and most shops get sold a screen that ignores it.
A digital menu that a manager can't update by Tuesday lunchtime becomes an expensive printed board. The specification question is who edits it, not how many pixels it has.
Waiting-room screens have two jobs: tell people where they are in the queue, and lower the temperature of the room. Both are wrecked by a display that's too bright, too loud, or occasionally wrong.
The trigger is almost always the same: an assembly hall where nobody at the back can see the projected slide unless the curtains are drawn and the lights are off.
FAQ
Not sure this is the right format? Here's what the alternatives are for.
Indoors, the constraint is rarely brightness — it's viewing distance and finish. Get the pitch wrong and a beautiful screen looks like a grid of dots to the customer standing in front of it.
Outside, the display is the easy part. What decides whether it still looks good in year three is the structure, the sealing, the power and who is contracted to fix it.
A corner site is the most valuable frontage a business can have and the most commonly wasted. A display that turns the corner is read by both streets — if the content is designed for a bend rather than a flat wall.
