Digital Signage in Columbus, OH.
Franklin County’s mix of state government, Ohio State University, healthcare systems, and corporate headquarters has created demand for reliable visual communication.
Samsung commercial displays fit these varying needs through two product lines. QB series at $1,100-$1,300 for 65″ screens works for standard business hours in offices and retail. QH series at $1,700-$2,000 provides 24/7 capability at higher brightness for hospitals, hotels, and operations running around the clock.
Ohio State uses these throughout campus. Nationwide and other insurance companies install them in corporate facilities. Healthcare networks deploy them across multiple Franklin County locations. State office buildings show public information and employee communications.
Screen sizes range from 43″ for small conference rooms to 85+” for large lobbies and reception areas. Installation throughout Columbus, Dublin, Westerville, and Grove City typically completes in 2-3 hours per screen.

The value proposition is simple: update information across all your Columbus locations simultaneously instead of managing each screen individually.
University environments push class schedule changes, campus alerts, and event information to buildings across hundreds of acres. Corporate offices adjust content by floor or department without IT involvement. Healthcare facilities manage patient wayfinding across connected buildings as services or doctor locations change.
Digital menu boards in restaurant locations automatically transition between breakfast, lunch, and dinner content at scheduled times. Retail digital signage adjusts promotional messaging based on inventory data or time-sensitive sales. Office buildings show real-time meeting room availability outside conference spaces.
Software costs start at $10 monthly per screen. No separate media players or computers to maintain. Power and WiFi are the only infrastructure requirements.
Samsung maintains service support throughout Central Ohio for repairs when hardware issues occur.
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 Columbus?
Yes. We install and support digital signage projects throughout North America. However, we have centralized support in specific cities around the US, like Columbus.
Columbus businesses typically see value from digital signage in improved internal communication and reduced staff time spent answering routine questions.
Common implementations range from 3-6 screens for single locations to networked systems across multiple Franklin County properties. Investment typically runs $5,000-$12,000 depending on number of screens and which series better fits operational requirements.
The content management system allows businesses to test different messaging approaches and adjust based on what actually works in their environment. Retail locations experiment with promotional timing. Offices refine which information employees find most valuable. Healthcare facilities optimize wayfinding based on patient feedback.
Most Columbus installations achieve return on investment within 6-12 months through some combination of improved communication effectiveness, reduced staff time on routine information requests, and better space utilization for meeting rooms or other shared resources.
