For most high-street businesses the shop window is the most valuable advertising space they have, and the hardest place to run a screen. Daylight on the glass washes out an ordinary indoor display. A window-facing screen is built with much higher brightness so the picture stays readable from the pavement.

High-Brightness Shop Window Displays (view the range) are listed at 32, 43, 49, 55, 65, 75, 85 and 98 inch, with brightness from 1,000 to 2,500 nits. They come in single-sided designs that face the street, or double-sided designs that also face into the shop, and are installed hanging from the ceiling or on a floor stand, with several stand styles to choose from. For a slim two-faced unit there is also the Double-Sided Display (view the range), a 55-inch reference design whose panel technology is confirmed at quotation.

These screens sit inside the glass, so they are indoor products, not weatherproof ones. What they show is usually time-sensitive: opening hours, today's offers, new listings, this week's menu. That makes digital signage content management worth thinking about early. It is scoped separately from the hardware, around who updates the window and how often it changes.

Where they fit

Suitable applications

Typical uses for the products in this category, drawn from the catalogue. The configuration for your site is confirmed with your quotation.
  • High-street retail windows

    Show offers, new arrivals and seasonal campaigns to people walking past, and change them without redressing the window.

  • Property, travel and service businesses

    Example application: an estate agency rotates current listings in the window instead of printing and hanging new cards.

  • Restaurant, café and takeaway windows

    Put the menu, today's specials and opening hours where people decide whether to come in.

  • Showrooms

    Example application: a large-format screen faces the road so that a vehicle or furniture showroom keeps advertising after the doors have closed.

  • Units inside shopping centres

    Use a double-sided design so one unit speaks to people in the mall and to customers already inside.

Choosing

How the options differ

The decisions that separate one option from another, and what each one depends on.
  1. Step 1

    Why a window needs more brightness

    Indoor displays are listed at 300 to 450 nits. The shop window range is listed from 1,000 to 2,500 nits because sunlit glass reflects the street and washes out a dim picture. The level you need depends on which way the window faces, how much shade it gets and any film or tint on the glass. The brightness configuration is confirmed with your quotation.

  2. Step 2

    Single-sided or double-sided

    A single-sided display faces the street only. A double-sided design adds a second screen facing inwards, so the same position promotes to passers-by and to customers inside. How each face is driven, and the brightness of the inward face, are confirmed for your configuration. See also double-sided displays.

  3. Step 3

    Ceiling-hung or floor-standing

    Hanging a display from the ceiling keeps the window floor clear, but the ceiling has to be able to carry the load. A floor stand needs no overhead fixing and can be repositioned when the window layout changes. Several floor stand styles are listed for this range.

  4. Step 4

    Size, format and design style

    Sizes run from 32 to 98 inch. The 75, 85 and 98-inch sizes are described with a full-screen 16:9 design, and the range is described in two design styles, narrow-bezel and slim-profile. Resolution is offered in Full HD or 4K-class options, with the exact resolution confirmed for your configuration.

  5. Step 5

    Window display or outdoor display

    A window display works behind glass and is protected by the building. An outdoor display stands in the weather and needs a sealed, temperature-managed enclosure. If the screen will be outside the glass, even under a canopy, look at outdoor advertising displays instead.

Questions

Shop window displays: frequently asked questions

How bright does a shop window display need to be?

Brighter than an indoor screen, and how much brighter depends on the window. The range is listed from 1,000 to 2,500 nits. A shaded, north-facing window on a narrow street needs less than a south-facing window in full sun. Brighter screens also draw more power and produce more heat, so it is worth choosing the level the position needs. Tell us which way the window faces, what shading it has and whether the glass is tinted, and the brightness configuration is confirmed with your quotation.

Can the display be seen from inside the shop as well?

Yes, if you choose a double-sided design. The shop window range is listed in single and double-sided versions, so one unit can face the street and the shop floor. Whether each face can show different content is confirmed for your configuration. The separate 55-inch double-sided display is listed as showing the same or different content on each side.

Can a window display hang from my ceiling?

Ceiling mounting is listed for this range. Whether it suits your premises depends on what is above the window: a structural soffit is very different from a suspended ceiling tile. If the ceiling is not suitable, a floor stand avoids the question. Fixing methods are planned under installation and rollout.

Is a shop window display waterproof?

No. It is a high-brightness indoor display designed to work behind glass, and no weather rating is stated for it. For a position outside the building, outdoor advertising displays are the right range.

Will the screen cope with heat from direct sun?

A window in full sun is a demanding position, because sun through glass builds heat. Describe it in your enquiry: the direction it faces, the hours of direct sun, any blinds or solar film, and how much space there is between the glass and the screen. We use that to confirm a suitable configuration with your quotation, and do not assume one from a catalogue.

What resolution are shop window displays?

The range is offered in Full HD or 4K-class options, and the exact resolution is confirmed for your configuration. For most window advertising viewed from the pavement, Full HD content looks sharp. Higher resolution matters more on the largest sizes or where people stand close to the glass.
