Display NOW founder and CEO Chris Dukich understood that firsthand.
“I created Display NOW because I had a basic need for signage to communicate announcements to residents in a condo building. I didn’t want to pay the ridiculous prices that other providers charge. I tried to go the ‘free’ route, but I ended up coming home to blank screens and putting in hours each month just keeping them alive.
Business owners and managers face rising costs every year, and ‘free’ looks attractive when you’re trying to keep things lean. But many ‘free’ plans are really trials, with limited screens, watermarks and missing features designed to push you to upgrade. Free often costs more than a reasonable price once you add up the downtime, the support tickets and the hours spent keeping it running.
We built Display NOW with the goal of being the number one best value on the market. We have a free plan for people who genuinely need a basic solution, with real features, not a trial. And for everyone else, we built the Edge Player so you never have to worry about hardware again.”

Printed notices and screens that go dark cost more than they look. Here’s what reliable signage is worth.

Bulletins get left in the pew, slides get missed, and the lobby TV shows whatever someone plugged in last month.
Printed bulletins and pulpit announcements only reach the people who catch them. Screens in the lobby and hallways reach everyone walking by.
If only one volunteer knows how the TV works, nothing changes when they’re away. Invite staff and volunteers by email, share screens with a group, and anyone in it can update from a phone or laptop.
Consumer streaming sticks freeze and update at the worst times. The Edge Player is built for screens that run all day, and screen-health alerts tell you by email or SMS if one goes offline before the service starts.
Last month’s event still on screen tells visitors nothing. Schedule content in advance on a calendar so it starts and stops on its own.

Your Daily Loop: done-for-you content, refreshed every day
Common-area screens are the hardest to keep fresh. Nobody owns them, so nothing gets updated, and the screen ends up showing the same slide from six months ago.
Your Daily Loop fills that gap. Professionally curated programming updates automatically every day. Your team sets it once and doesn't touch it again.
Available as an add-on. See pricing for details.
Ready-made templates you can make your own. Swap in your logo, update colors and copy, and publish to every screen. No designer needed.
