The story behind the Display NOW Edge Player
“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.”

Most retail teams still rely on print runs and store visits. Here’s what that costs.
When campaigns depend on print runs and manual swaps, one missed shipment leaves one store running last week’s offer.
Without centralized retail signage management, every location runs on its own timeline. Expired offers stay up for a week before anyone catches them.
Every “change the window display” request becomes a print order, a shipment, and a store visit.
You buy digital signage for retail, then someone has to design, schedule, and refresh it. Screens go stale. The investment stops paying off.
Display NOW is retail signage software built for teams that need to move fast. Connect every in‑store digital display to a single cloud‑based dashboard and control what every screen shows across one location or fifty.
Push a promotion live in seconds.
Schedule campaigns to launch and expire automatically.
Group your retail digital signs by store, region, or display type.
Update every screen at once, or one at a time.
Runs in the browser. No apps. No IT project.
No printing. No store visits. No coordinating across locations.
From fast casual to full service, here's how restaurant teams put it to work every day.

Digital signage software is a cloud-based system that lets businesses control what appears on their screens, like images, videos, live data feeds, and more, from a single online dashboard. With a digital signage solution like DisplayNow, you log in, build or upload your content, and push it to any connected display in seconds. There's no server to manage, no technical setup, and no need for IT support to keep it running.
Most customers have their first digital signage display live in under 10 minutes. Plug your player into any TV, connect it to WiFi, and log into your DisplayNow dashboard. Your content starts playing straight away. There's no installation process, no technical configuration, and no waiting for an IT team.
Any TV or monitor with an HDMI port works as a digital signage display. DisplayNow's digital signage software runs on Amazon Fire TV, Google TV, and most existing streaming devices. If you'd prefer purpose-built hardware, DisplayNow also offers plug-and-play bundles with a commercial-grade digital signage media player included.
Yes. Any TV with an HDMI port becomes a fully managed digital signage display the moment you plug in the DisplayNow player. You don't need specialist screens or commercial monitors to get started. Your existing TVs are already compatible with our digital signage system.

Yes, set digital signage content to run by time of day, day of week, or a custom date range. A restaurant can automatically switch from a breakfast to a dinner menu without touching a screen. A retailer can schedule a weekend promotion to start Friday night and stop Monday morning, all set in advance inside the platform.
Display NOW supports images, videos, slideshows, live weather, news feeds, social media walls, Google Slides, Canva designs, YouTube, Vimeo, web pages, and more. If you can view it on a screen, there's a good chance our digital signage software can display it.

If you already use Canva, we have a full Canva integration that makes saving designs to Display NOW as easy as a few clicks. Your team can have professional-looking content ready in minutes — no design experience, no agency, no extra budget required.
Your screens keep playing. DisplayNow caches images, videos, and PDFs locally on the device, so if your internet connection drops, that content types continue running without interruption. Live web content, social feeds, and other internet-dependent sources will pause until connectivity is restored, as they require an active connection by nature. Once you're back online, your digital signage displays sync automatically with any new content or schedule changes with no manual action needed.
