Digital Signage in Portland, OR.
Multnomah County businesses implement digital signage for menu displays, office communications, and customer information systems. Breweries and restaurants throughout Portland use digital menu boards that update pricing and offerings without reprinting materials. Corporate offices manage internal communications across buildings. Retail stores coordinate promotional content between locations.
Samsung commercial displays come in two main categories based on operational needs. Standard office and restaurant hours work fine with QB series at 350 nit brightness. Hotels and healthcare facilities requiring round-the-clock operation choose QH series with 700 nit brightness and components rated for continuous use. Cloud-based management platforms control content remotely through web browsers.

Installation
Portland businesses appreciate straightforward content management without complicated technical requirements. Upload menu photos, schedule when they display, select which screens show which content. Restaurant managers handle updates themselves during prep hours. Office administrators push company announcements without calling IT support. Retail managers adjust promotional messaging based on inventory levels.
Screen installation requires power connections and WiFi access. Most Portland businesses already have wireless networks, eliminating infrastructure costs beyond the displays themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is digital signage?
Digital signage is a screen that displays dynamic content instead of static printed signs. They are digital signs where you control what appears on the screen remotely through software, so you can update pricing, promotions, announcements, or visuals without printing anything or physically visiting the location. Common uses include restaurant digital menus, retail advert displays, lobby directories, and corporate communication screens.
How much do business displays cost?
It varies wildly depending on your needs, which is why we must do a consultation first. For Samsung commercial displays, expect $1,000 to $3,000 per screen depending on size and model. A 65″ QB series (350 nit, 16/7 rated) runs around $1,100 to $1,300. A 65″ QH series (700 nit, 24/7 rated) runs $1,700 to $2,000. Installation adds $200 to $400 per screen. Content management software like Samsung VXT starts at $10 per screen per month ($120 annually) for the S Series. Total cost for a single-screen setup typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,000. Our consulting and planning services are free. You only pay for hardware and installation.
Do I need a separate media player?
No. Samsung’s commercial displays have built-in Tizen processors that run content directly on the screen. You upload content through cloud software and the screen handles playback. This eliminates the need for external computers, media boxes, or USB drives. It also means fewer cables and fewer points of failure.
How long does installation take?
Typically 2 to 3 hours per screen. This includes mounting the display, running power, connecting to WiFi, configuring the software, and loading initial content. Multi-screen installations or complex setups like video walls take longer.
Can I update content myself?
Yes. Samsung VXT and similar platforms let you log in from any computer or phone to change what’s on screen. You can update text, swap images, adjust schedules, or push new content to multiple locations simultaneously. No technical expertise required. Most updates take less than five minutes. VXT is currently considered to be one of the best digital signage software in 2025/2026.
What's Samsung VXT?
Samsung VXT is Samsung’s cloud-based content management software. It lets you create, schedule, and deploy content to your displays from anywhere. Features include drag-and-drop content creation, automated scheduling, remote monitoring, and analytics on what content plays when. It integrates directly with Samsung’s commercial displays and requires no additional hardware.
What's the difference between a commercial display and a regular TV?
Commercial displays are built for extended operation (16+ hours daily), have higher brightness (350 to 500+ nits versus 200 to 300 nits for consumer TVs), include built-in content management, have no visible branding on the bezel, and carry commercial warranties. Consumer TVs are designed for 4 to 6 hours of daily home use and will fail quickly in commercial settings.
Do you service areas outside Portland?
Yes. We install and support digital signage projects throughout North America. However, we have centralized support in specific cities around the US, like Portland.
A brewery in Northeast Portland had 24 rotating taps with constantly changing selections. Customers stood at the bar reading a printed list while bartenders explained each beer’s style, ABV, and flavor profile repeatedly throughout their shifts. During busy periods, this created long wait times as bartenders educated customers about options before taking orders.
Digital displays mounted above the bar now show all current taps with beer names, styles, ABV percentages, and brief tasting notes. Customers review options while waiting in line instead of taking up bartender time asking about each beer. The taproom manager updates the display when kegs kick and new beers get tapped, which happens multiple times per week.
Bartender efficiency improved significantly during peak hours. Staff can take orders faster since customers arrive at the bar already knowing which beers interest them.
