Hardware Check: Why You Don’t Need an Expensive Mini PC

Many systems require special media players or expensive mini PCs that have to be mounted behind the TV. Not only does this cost money (often €200 to €500 each), but it also consumes electricity and requires maintenance.

SignageNow’s solution: Our software runs directly in the browser or our free app (for Google and Fire TV. Since modern browsers are always free, you save on all the extra hardware. You simply enter the URL of your playlist—that’s it. Less technology means fewer sources of error and 0 € in additional costs for player hardware.

The Screen: Your TV Becomes an Advertising Screen

Think you need special “professional displays”? For most applications in stores, offices, or waiting rooms, a regular TV is more than enough.

  • Affordable Hardware: Good smart TVs are often available for as low as 150 €.
  • The trick with the stick: Does your TV lack internet access or a good browser? No problem. A simple streaming stick like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or the Google Chromecast (often available for around 30–40 €) turns any screen into a full-fledged digital signage display.
  • Easy installation: Plug it in, connect to Wi-Fi, open the browser or our app—done. You don’t need an expensive technician to set it up.

Total Cost of Digital Signage

Overall, the cost of digital signage is very low. All you need is a TV (approx. €150) and software. The most affordable digital signage software is the one that gives you the freedom to use your existing hardware and doesn’t tie you down with fixed monthly costs per screen. With SignageNow, you can get started risk-free, without any hardware investment, and with maximum flexibility.

Why not give it a try—after all, it won’t cost you a cent!
