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 our competitors use ‘free’ plans as glorified trials. Limited screens, watermarked content, missing features, all designed to push you to upgrade. Free often costs more than paying a reasonable price when you add up the downtime, the support tickets, and the hours you spend 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. Display NOW lets you give the right people access, from any 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 recovers itself if it hangs.
Last month’s event still on screen tells visitors nothing. Schedule content in advance 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.
Hundreds of professionally designed templates. Swap in your logo, update colors and copy, and publish to every screen. No designer needed.
