Digital Signage in Chicago, IL.
Traditional communication methods don’t work at the scale Cook County operates at. Corporate headquarters are managing thousands of employees, restaurant groups run dozens of locations, and healthcare systems span entire neighborhoods. Printed materials become outdated before distribution finishes. Email announcements get buried. Static signs can’t adapt to changing information.
Our commercial displays fix this problem. The Samsung QB series costs $1,100-$1,300 for a 65″ screen rated for 16-hour daily operation. The QH series runs $1,700-$2,000 for 24/7 operation at higher brightness levels. Both include Tizen software that manages content without separate hardware.
Loop offices use these for internal communications. O’Hare area hotels display flight information and local attractions. Medical centers throughout Cook County show wayfinding and wait times. Retail headquarters in the suburbs control store displays across the entire Midwest from central dashboards.
We install throughout Chicago, Evanston, Oak Park, and surrounding areas. Power and WiFi are the only requirements.

The platform works simply. Upload content once. Schedule when it displays. Push to specific locations or all screens simultaneously.
Restaurant digital signage across Chicago adjusts based on daypart without manual changes at each location. Breakfast ends, lunch pricing appears. Dinner service starts, evening menu loads. Late night hours trigger bar specials.
Healthcare facilities update patient information across multiple buildings instantly. Doctor schedules change, displays reflect it immediately. Emergency department wait times fluctuate, digital signage software updates every screen showing that information.
This eliminates the Windows digital signage player boxes that older systems required. Everything runs on the display itself through built-in processing and WiFi connectivity.

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 Chicago?
Yes. We install and support digital signage projects throughout North America. However, we have centralized support in specific cities around the US, like Chicago.
A corporate office in the Loop had communication and display problems typical of large organizations. Important announcements got missed and visitors couldn’t find departments.
They started small with six Samsung QH65C displays (65″, 700 nit, 24/7 rated) in high-traffic areas. The total cost was $13,200 including installation and first year software at $720 for six screens.
Meeting room conflicts dropped after adding real-time booking displays outside conference rooms, visitor check-in time decreased when lobby wayfinding showed accurate floor directories, and internal surveys showed employee awareness of company initiatives improved.
The finance team then realized the same system could display KPI dashboards and departmental metrics. What started as basic communication infrastructure became a primary internal data visualization platform.
