Implementing a digital signage solution in a manufacturing company

Implementing a new communication tool within an organization can seem daunting, but having access to expert advice could help you reach your goals. After reading this article, you’ll know everything you need to carry out a digital signage project in a company.

1. Set out your goals

Start by defining the goal of your digital signage solution before you even start looking at the different options on the market. Your aim could be to improve the speed of the creation process of communications to employees, to reduce the number of accidents, to reach all of your employees, etc. Of course, objectives vary according to the business type.

2. Software

Selecting the right digital signage software isn’t always easy – there are a lot of solutions on the market. To help you make an informed decision, here are some elements to consider: ease of use, features, available content and data security.

Ease of use

A good way to see if software is user-friendly and easy to use is to try it for some time. Usually, digital signage software companies offer a free trial period. To familiarize yourself with the software, online documentation can help you quickly find answers to your questions. You could also request a demonstration of the software: this will give you the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about various offers and other available versions.

Features

Start by making a list of the features you need based on your objectives. Then, take your list and compare it with the features of the different software types. This way, you’ll be sure to choose the right software that meets your needs. Note that some software can be connected to the other tools you are already using and display content automatically through them.

A checklist of features is provided for your convenience.

Available content

Some companies offer different types of free multilingual content through their software (e.g., images and customizable templates) to facilitate message creation. Having free content can be very useful – not all employees within an organization have design skills.

Data security

Make sure the digital signage software has security features such as double authentication or password management, and that it is hosted in a highly secure infrastructure. Choosing safe software also means high display stability, i.e., that displayed messages will not be interrupted. In short, ensure the software you are choosing is aligned with the objectives you previously identified.

3. Hardware

Displays and supports

Displays are an important part of the project because they will be used to share what you want people to see. The best option is to choose digital signage monitors; they ensure information will be properly displayed and read mainly because they are brighter than other screen types. They are also designed to work for extended durations, and can even be used 24/7. Also, their most important benefit is the option to install digital signage software directly in the display, thus eliminating the need of having to buy an additional external device.

In addition to the display, you need to consider which support types are best adapted to your environment. For example, should wall supports be installed, or will the displays hang from the ceiling?

Display player (optional)

You need a digital signage player to run the software. This player is required only if you are not using a digital monitor, or in certain situations where more advanced technical specifications are required for sharing content.

If you already have all the required hardware and if it’s already set up within your company, you can install the software using the online documentation which clearly explains the steps you need to follow.

Once you have made all of your choices, all you need to do is align the installation and the content strategy to your needs. The best way to ensure a successful implementation of a digital signage solution is to talk with your colleagues who will be using the solution to ensure they are all comfortable using it. It will also be worth it to take the time to ask about all of the elements covered in this article to ensure you are making the best choice.

Best practices: Dynamic digital signage for exterior-facing displays

Digital signage is a communication and marketing tool that helps you share multimedia content on any device with a screen. This tool offers many different features, but it’s always better to be familiar with best practices in order to use it as efficiently as possible.

Audience

First of all, you need to identify your public audience(s) as well as the time during which they are exposed to your content: all other display settings depend on this. For example, people on foot will have a longer exposition time than cyclists. Cyclists will also have a more fragmented exposition time: they need to look ahead more often because they are going faster. As is the case when there are different audiences, the content needs to be adapted to the group with the shorter exposition time – in this case, cyclists.

Optimal message duration (Length per clip)

The ideal message display duration is 8 seconds. As such, we recommend sharing content for periods of 8-10 seconds. If the message duration is too short, people won’t understand it; if it’s too long, time that could be used to share other information is wasted. A good way to ensure the optimal display time of your messages is to look at them from your audience’s point of view. If you are targeting cyclists, ride a bike and go by your displays: you’ll be able to see if you have enough time to properly read and understand your messages.

Number of messages in a message list

It is important to consider the exposition time of your target audience and decide if all messages need to be seen at one point or another by all audiences. In other words: does my message absolutely need to be seen? If the answer is yes, and considering the exposition time of cyclists, there will probably be enough time to see one message (or two or three if there is more than one display on their way). Therefore, content loops should stay between the 8-24 second limit. It is also possible to use longer loops where THE most important message is displayed alternately with other content. This principle also applies if your target audience is on foot; however, you will generally be able to show more messages on the displays since pedestrians are slower than bikes and have more time to look at them. In any case, it’s usually best to have shorter loops and to update content more frequently.

Words per message

The rule of thumb here is “Keep it short”. People won’t read your messages if too much information is conveyed. We recommend following the “3×5” rule, i.e., a maximum of 3 lines, and no more than 5 words per line. This principle is recommended for landscape views. For portrait modes, we recommend the opposite – 5×3, which is 5 lines and 3 words per line. Furthermore, messages should have at most 22 characters (always following the “5×3” rule). Of course, we can bend this rule somewhat: for example, if the message has a lot of small words, some extra words can be added. This guideline is shown only to give you an idea of the size; ultimately, the essence of the message you wish to share has priority over all other principles.

Lettering – Font size

It is important to use the same font or fonts the company uses in its communications. We recommend using two different fonts at most; one for titles and another one for the body type. Font size plays an essential role as it ensures everyone can read the messages. However, it can vary depending on the distance between the audience and the display. The below image illustrates the ideal font size based on the distance between your audience and the display.

You now know the four best practices for digital signage. The main takeaway is that all these guidelines depend mostly on your target audience. You can now take advantage of a free trial of ITESLIVE, our digital signage software, which includes templates that were designed according to these best practices.

Digital signage in the healthcare sector

Digital signage provides great flexibility for creating, managing and sharing content through different digital channels. On one hand, it improves internal communications with staff members; on the other, it improves patients’ and visitors’ experiences.

Improve communications with the healthcare staff

Digital signage enable you to share messages with your entire staff. Displays installed in strategic locations (such as break rooms) make information more accessible. Furthermore, omnichannel communication tools such as ITESLIVE help you share important messages through Microsoft Teams or your employees’ screensavers. Employees will then be able to access the content using their Microsoft Teams account or their computer screen in screensaver mode, as well as on digital displays on the walls. This same content can be shared with everybody, but it is also possible to share different content depending on the job type to ensure content will always be relevant for the audience. Different message types can be shared: training reminders, meeting announcements, changes to procedures, alerts, work shifts, and encouragements, among others. In short, you can share any relevant message.

Facilitate wayfinding for patients and visitors

Hospitals and clinics are usually in enormous buildings, which makes it difficult for visitors and patients to find their way. The best solution to help them is by installing touchscreens or interactive terminals on the walls and put up a directory and a floor plan. Upon their arrival, visitors can look for the department they need to go to using the directory, then follow the path of the floor plan appearing on the screen. Here is an example to illustrate this situation: Mrs. X has an appointment with her cardiologist. All she needs to do is click on the cardiology department, and the path leading to it will automatically appear on the map. By easily finding their way, patients’ and visitors’ stress levels are decreased, and greeting agents won’t need to spend as much time answering these types of questions.

Make waiting times seem shorter

Let’s be honest: sitting in a waiting room without anything to do is boring. Furthermore, these rooms are where patients or visitors are anxiously waiting for a test result or a medical procedure, and where the tension is almost palpable. Digital displays are a great tool to share educational content such as tips for proper dental hygiene, proper postures to avoid aches, etc. You can also share entertaining content such as “Did you know…?” questions, news, or even television broadcasts.

Read: 5 content ideas for waiting rooms

Share important messages

Static paper posters are not as eye-catching, and changing them takes a considerable amount of time. Dynamic displays help you easily share important messages to visitors and patients (such as instructions for washing hands, upcoming vaccination clinics, health guidelines for COVID-19 and prevention measures) directly through the digital signage software. Communications are made much more visible, and can be changed instantly and effortlessly.

In short, dynamic digital signage facilitates internal communications and improves patients’ and visitors’ experiences. This tool is a perfect complement to your existing communication ecosystem in the healthcare sector.

Sharing information with public transport users

More and more, digital displays are used to share information with public transport users – at train stations, metro stations, bus shelters, etc. These displays are equipped with digital signage software to improve communications with customers.

Different types of information to share

Real-time user information

Dynamic signage for public transportation enable sharing important information with users in real time. Make waiting times seem shorter for your users and reduce their stress levels by displaying the times when the next buses will arrive, the current service status and any expected delays. Providing this information empowers users and helps them choose the best route. For example, if a user has to choose between two different buses that stop near their destination, they can take the one leaving earlier. If users are informed a bus is delayed or is almost filled to capacity, they can either wait for the next one or use the extra time to do something else.

Emergency messages

Digital signage monitors installed in bus shelters or metro stations can be used to share emergency messages, which can be activated automatically through an alert system or remotely by using a mobile device, a tablet or a computer. These messages help users find the nearest exit to leave the premises as quickly and as safely as possible. It is also possible to share messages in stations or at nearby stops to inform users that the metro will not stop at the next station. When an Amber alert is triggered, it can be shared on the entire digital signage network. In short, different messages can be shared on all of the displays or on some of them, according to their location, to ensure the information is accurate wherever the users are located.

General interest information

Inform users about various topics. For example, you can share answers to frequently asked questions to help you improve the users’ experience. You can also share other types of content, such as the news, sanitary guidelines, new features for your transport network (e.g., free Wi-Fi), regulations, prices, etc. These messages can be shared in a specific zone on your screens, or shown alternatively in other content types.

A section of the displays can be used to share ads. If the ads are properly adapted to the target audience, users could be interested to find out more about nearby museums, restaurants, shows, etc., and the choice of organisations you can promote is entirely up to you. Furthermore, this space can also be leveraged to share ads about your transportation network. This is a great benefit, as it will help you improve the return on your investment in digital displays.

Digital signage software helps keep users informed and improve their overall experience. For public transport organisations, this software is easy to manage, and the signage costs can be offset by running ads.

Digital menus for your restaurant: What you need to know

Historically, restaurant menus were usually printed, hung on walls or suspended by chains from the ceiling. Today, the sector has evolved: most restaurants choose digital menus since they can be easily managed and are much more attractive. After reading this article, you’ll know everything you need to carry out a digital signage project in a restaurant.

Costs

A digital menu project’s initial costs amount to between $2,000 to $3,000 per screen, which include the equipment, set up and installation. This investment provides you with digital signage monitors that can be used for extended durations, offer higher brightness levels and have a longer life. You must then allow an amount of about $250 per year, per screen, for the digital signage software. This investment gives you access to a professional digital signage software that helps you easily manage your displays remotely and enables you to use your images and plan your content.

Of course, the required level of investment varies from project to project. Here are some factors that could increase the amounts stated above:

If you need content (images, videos, templates);
If the software needs to be integrated to your POS or to another system to automate displays;
If your displays are installed in a bright environment (i.e., if they are facing direct sunlight);
If you wish to share promotional content on two displays (or more) at once by using them as a single, larger display area;
If this has not yet been planned, installing power outlets near the areas where the displays will be placed.

Required elements – Description

Four elements are required for a digital menu project: software, equipment, content, and installation. The cost of a digital display project is based on these four areas.

Software

If the digital signage software is cloud-based, you will be able to remotely create, manage and share multimedia content on your displays. Here are some benefits of this solution:

Quickly edit content

Spontaneous promotions usually create a lot of work since they require price changes and modifications to visuals. However, with the software, it is much easier and quicker to manage these promotions, make permanent price changes and add or remove menu items. Furthermore, to improve sales of a specific meal or drink, you can promote them during peak hours. All changes can be planned and carried out instantly and made visible in real time.

Plan content

Restaurants having different menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner can set up menu changes at specific times of day. For example, the breakfast menu could automatically be replaced by the lunch menu at 11 am; the dinner menu could then be displayed at 4 pm, followed once again by the breakfast menu at 7 am the next day. This process can be entirely automated, along with many other available configurations to meet your needs.

Bundles

ITESMEDIA offers various bundles at different prices, depending on a variety of needs. Our “Starter” version usually meets all the needs of restaurants as it lets users easily add images or videos and manage content. In most cases, these features provide everything required for menu management. However, for owners with more than one restaurant, choosing a bundle that provides additional features might prove to be a better option. For example, our “Pro” version lets restaurant operators use integrated templates that help them change content right from the platform. You can quickly make price adjustments and add or remove menu items in just a few clicks. For more advanced features, we also have a “Premium” version which lets the digital signage software connect to your POS or to other systems, ensuring displays change automatically.

Equipment

Displays and supports

The top priority is to ensure customers can clearly see the menu so that they can quickly pick the meal they wish to order. To help you choose the right display for your needs, you must answer the following questions: How many hours a day do the displays need to be on? Is the ambient light very bright? In which orientation will the displays be installed? Which is the right display size? Do you want to create a screen banner and minimize spacing and outlines as much as possible between the displays? In environments where lighting is very bright and content needs to be displayed continuously (up to 24/7), the best choice is a digital display monitor. These monitors can also be installed in your desired orientation (vertical or horizontal). Furthermore, the digital signage software can be installed directly in these display types; this means you won’t need to purchase an external device to display content – which helps drive down the project’s overall price. Besides the monitors, you also must consider which support type will be more suited to the environment; for example, if you wish to set up a video wall, you would require special supports to ensure access to the back of the displays when needed.

Read: What are the differences between televisions and digital signage monitors?

Media player (optional)

If installing the digital signage software directly on the monitor is not possible, you will require a media player to run the software. The media player is usually connected behind the monitor during the installation.

Content strategy (optional)

Content strategy is established to efficiently meet a restaurant’s needs. Specifically, this process includes determining your display’s design (menus) as well as its layout. The objective is to ensure your menu is visually attractive and properly designed to make it easy to change elements when required. This process also addresses content layout on your displays; for example, will the content use all the available space on the screen, or only part of it? And if you choose the second option, which content will be displayed in the other zones? Of course, we will be with you during this process to help you and provide sound advice based on industry best practices.

Installation

Calling in experts to install your equipment will ensure professional results, whether your displays are used on walls, are suspended or are placed overhead. If you already have your equipment installed, you could easily install the ITESLIVE software on your displays yourself. All of the required steps are outlined in the online documentation.

You now have all the information you need to start your digital menu project and to determine its cost. In closing, if you wish to try the software before buying it, you can take advantage of a free ITESLIVE trial.

Three reasons for choosing an omnichannel communication platform

Today’s communication platforms are cloud-based, which makes them scalable and flexible, and eliminates boundaries. These platforms are an addition or a complement to the communications ecosystem. Content can be created, managed and distributed from anywhere. An omnichannel solution helps reach employees working under a hybrid model, centralizes communications and makes them available at all times.

1. Reaching employees at work and at home

Some companies have both employees working from home and at the workplace. In this hybrid model, everyone must be able to receive information relevant to them sent by the organization.

Most company employees don’t have access to the same technological assets as others, particularly in the manufacturing sector. Factory workers usually can’t use a computer at their workplace and have no company email address; sharing information on digital displays installed on the premises would help them see company messages. Employees working from home can see content intended for them through Microsoft Teams, the company intranet, their screen saver or a hyperlink. In other words, an omnichannel platform is an efficient way to reach all employees wherever they work and no matter their job type.

2. Centralized management

The bulk of your message creation, management and sharing is made directly from a platform. This means that the entire content is managed from a single hub, independently from the device or the tool on which you wish to share it. Images, photos, videos, Google Slide documents or news can easily be added to your message list, and your employees will see the added content in real time. You can also share content to all of your employees or send messages to a more targeted audience. For example, you could display health and safety reminders (e.g., wearing a safety helmet at all times) only to employees working in the factory. In short, segmenting information is a great way to ensure your messages remain relevant to your employees, and an omnichannel solution greatly facilitates content management for companies.

3. Accessible at all times

Content is shared and available 24/7 for all company employees. They can see the content many times a day, whether it’s on digital displays, screen savers, Microsoft Teams, the company intranet or through a hyperlink. Employees can also watch the content again at their convenience with the tool of their choice. An omnichannel solution ensures all company employees will see your content on many different channels. Also, employees tasked with creating, managing and sharing content through the platform can do so anywhere, and at any time.

Give companies the power to streamline their internal communications and help them reach their employees wherever they work through a wide range of digital channels. You will ensure recipients will always see the information they need to know.

Why digital signage software is better than a USB flash drive

Most screens have USB ports on their back panel. Some people use these ports to view pictures or videos on a flash drive, and companies share internal messages with them – but is it the right way to use USB drives? A better solution would be to use digital signage software: read why.

Managing content remotely

If your company chooses to share content on screens using USB drives, their content cannot be updated automatically and remotely – unlike digital signage software. Changing or adding content requires having an employee going in person to the location of each screen to change the USB drive. This can be quite a challenge, especially if there is a large number of displays in different locations, or even cities. Cloud-based software enable network managers to save time significantly: instead of going from one location to the next, they can use features that let them update content displayed in different locations with just one click. You can benefit from greater flexibility, updated displays and time savings.

Planned content sharing

As soon as you create your message, you can apply a start and an end date. For example, suppose you need to send a message about registering to a training session, and participants have until November 27 to sign up. However, registration has not yet begun. Your solution: create the message in advance. In this scenario, you can already add the start date (November 9) and the end date (November 27). This way, you will ensure that the displayed content will remain relevant. You could also configure a recurrence for your message – for example, messages wishing a happy holiday season can be displayed at the same time of year without requiring any intervention. In short, it’s a way to make sure you won’t forget adding (or removing) important content.

Sharing content in real time

You can display live content such as social media posts, public transportation schedules, the time and date, weather updates, news, television programs, graphs (which can be updated automatically), etc. Many different message types can be automatically updated by integrating the digital signage software to your data sources (e.g., to share production data). All these content types provided in real time are not possible with tools such as PowerPoint.

Turning on/off displays automatically

Unlike USB drives, digital signage software lets you program the hours your displays can turn on and off. This is a particularly useful feature if your business is not open 24/7. It’s also a great way to reduce energy consumption, which is good for the environment – and your electricity bill. Furthermore, turning off your displays when your business is closed makes your equipment last longer since, unfortunately, displays have a predetermined length of life and a limited number of hours of use. Without the software, you need to turn each of your displays on and off, either on the display directly or with the remote control. Remotes can often get lost in businesses, and displays can be installed in hard-to-reach areas – not to mention the fact that people can forget to turn them on at the start of the day.

Share content in multi-zone format

Splitting the display in different zones maximizes the available communication space and makes the content more interesting for visitors, passers-by or employees. Content shared in the different zones are different: generally, smaller secondary zones show general interest information (weather, time, date, news, road conditions, birthdays…), whereas the main zone displays more important messages such as health and safety guidelines, reminders about training sessions or meetings, etc. None of this is possible with USB drives, where everything needs to be displayed in full screen mode.

Read: What are the benefits of multi-zone displays?

Protecting your messages

Companies using USB drives to share messages internally are exposed to certain risks. For instance, a malicious person could take the drive and send content belonging to the company to the general public, or even replace the drive to share inappropriate content on the workplace. Using digital signage software helps protect your sensitive data and messages shared on the displays. Furthermore, the software improves security through the double authentication process required to connect to the platform. It is also possible to set up a password policy based on your company requirements, which would make your data even more secure.

Viewing content remotely (telemonitoring)

To ensure the efficiency of your digital signage network, your displays need to function properly at all times. You can monitor your displays through the digital signage software interface and receive notifications when content is no longer shared on your displays. Also, you are able to see which content is shared on which displays right from the platform – something that cannot be done with USB drives. Additionally, with USB drives, it could take a few days before you could notice a problem on a screen or in the content. This vulnerability can create significant problems since important information may end up not being shared. In short, many features (online/offline status, live screenshots, etc.) can prove quite useful and help you manage your content sharing at anytime and from anywhere.

A USB flash drive can be a viable solution if you are using only one screen and if your content does not need to be updated regularly, but digital signage software clearly has better flexibility for content creation, management and distribution – and more robust security. Furthermore, the content is made dynamic through integration with the company database, and has real-time capabilities.

Displaying television channels with ITESLIVE

The ITESLIVE dynamic digital signage software now enables you to display content from a device connected to the input source of a display (or a media player). For example, you could share television channels of your choice in one of the display zones of your display network through a connection to a television receiver.

Your employees want to watch television during their lunch breaks, but you would like to use this valuable time to share important messages with them? You can now do both at the same time. For example, you could display a television channel of your choice in the main zone and use the secondary zones to share your important messages.

The same settings for other types of clips are available here, such as clip duration, message list order, volume, repetitions and start and end dates. You could choose to display television channels only from 12 pm to 1 pm, and display important content on all zones for the rest of the day (such as vacant positions, safety reminders, messages from HR, etc.). Conversely, you could keep television channels on your display’s main zone at all times, for example during the Olympics. It is also possible to display television channels in a full screen format if you wish.

Television channels are only one possibility: you could also display other types of content, such as pictures from a camera, since the “Input Source” feature lets you share content from one of the input sources (i.e., “HDMI In”) connected to the display or the display reader.

With this new feature available on all platforms, the ITESLIVE studio offers you even more flexibility. For any questions, please contact us at support@itesmedia.tv or visit our online knowledge base.

Dynamic signage vs. Digital signage

In our industry, we mostly use the terms “Dynamic signage” and “Digital signage” to describe our product offering. Many people ask us (with good reason): “What is the difference between dynamic signage and digital signage?”. Actually, both refer to the same concept. However, “digital signage” is the term that most closely related to the French expression affichage numérique.

Dynamic signage and Digital signage

Definition

*For ease of understanding, the term “Dynamic signage” will be used for the rest of this article.

Dynamic signage is a communication and marketing tool. It describes the sharing of multimedia content on any type of device with a screen such as televisions, monitors, screensavers, tablets, video walls and interactive kiosk.

What is it for?

Digital signage has many uses, but it can be classified in three broad categories:

Improve internal communications

One of the most important priorities for companies is communicating with its employees. Using digital signage software enables managers to easily create, manage and share content with their employees, and they can do so anytime they want. For example, they can share messages from Human Resources (such as raising awareness of occupational health, safety and well-being guidelines), information about organizational culture or performance indicators. In short, digital signage helps improve communications within organizations.

Easier communications with customers

Companies need to reach out often to their customers to share ongoing promotions, new offers, products and services, etc. Most of these companies are looking for different ways to catch their customers’ attention. Using dynamic signage for your business is an innovative and creative way to share information with your customers.

Inform travellers

Transit corporations use digital signage to communicate with their users. They can provide in real time the hours of the next scheduled passages (in real or scheduled time), delays and citizen communications, among others. Many different content types can be shared, such as new features (for instance, available Wi-Fi in buses), promotions about nearby activities, general interest information, etc. Digital signage is used to help share transportation information with users more efficiently.

Read: Power of digital signage for smart transit experience

“Dynamic signage” and “Digital signage” are synonyms – using either term is a matter of choice or of preference. Whether you use one or the other, this tool helps improve communications in various industries.

Digital signage for funeral homes

Digital signage monitors are a great way to make locations feel more modern and stand out from others by offering an even more tailored experience. Digital signage software streamlines content management, creation and sharing on your screens and improves your clients’ experience.

What is digital signage?

Digital signage software is designed to improve and facilitate communications. These must be easy to share by your organization and accessible to visitors. Digital display signage helps you create, manage and share multimedia content on monitors, tablets, video walls, screensavers or interactive terminals. This communications control hub helps you share the information you wish to display whenever you want.

Automated content

Funeral complexes usually use systems to display information about the deceased, such as their full name, their picture and their date of birth and of death. The source of this information can be connected to the digital signage software; therefore, when needed, screens placed in front of the rooms will display the hours they are in use as well as general information about the deceased. The advantage of this solution is that you only need to enter the information once to automatically update the content appearing on the screens, which eliminates the risks of errors that can occur while making the changes. Furthermore, managing rooms is easier for employees because all the information is written as the changes are made and is shared at the right time without requiring any additional manipulation.

Where should the screens be set up, and what should be displayed?

At the entrance

It is critical to leverage entrances to display content as they are the only place where visitors are guaranteed to see it on your screens. You can use them to share the daily schedule, i.e., the deceased’s name, the name of the room where the reception is taking place and the scheduled reception hours. You can also share various message types such as directions to important locations (washrooms, stairs, coat check rooms, etc.). Visitors coming for a loved one will feel reassured if they know where they need to go, and it will also be easier to orient themselves. Also, these messages enable you to share general information such as the time, the date and the weather.

In front of the rooms

In larger sites with many different rooms, it might be difficult for visitors to find the correct one – and in these types of situations, nothing is more embarrassing than entering the wrong room. To avoid awkward situations, set up a screen in front of every room displaying, for instance, the name of the room, the name of the deceased or of their family as well as the time of the reception (e.g., from 12 to 2 pm). You can also add a picture of the deceased; this way, families can find the location of the ceremony faster and easier.

Digital signage software facilitates content management and creation, and keeps information updated. This software streamlines the more technical aspects for digital network managers, improves visitors’ experience and helps save time and money. Furthermore, displays are a simple and useful way to add a modern yet subtle touch of modernity.
