What hardware do I need for digital signage?

Digital signage means a screen that shows content. The list is shorter than most people expect.

• What you need:
• a screen or TV with HDMI
• a power socket
• internet, Wi-Fi is fine
• a playback device

• The playback device is the only line with a price.
• Linux player: €249 net, available now
• TV stick with a free app: €79 net, late 2026

What you do not need. No special signage display. No licence. No server. No installer. We supply the software, and it costs nothing.

What makes the difference. The screen should be bright enough for the room and hang where people wait. A screen people walk past gets booked less often than one with a queue in front of it.

Running cost. You pay power and internet. Nothing else.
