Samsung's Smart Signage TV (SSTV) is billed as an all-in-i digital signage solution for minor business owners. Available in forty and 48-inch models, priced at $749 and $999, respectively, (most £450, AU$790 or £610, AU$ane,065) these screens come loaded with content direction software. Known equally MagicInfo Express, the interface lets each business owner showcase daily specials, promote new products, play videos, and broadcast alive Tv set – or whatsoever combination of these in a separate screen display.

Unlike costlier digital signage solutions aimed at the B-to-B market, Samsung is betting this nimble model, with its lower price point, out of the box fix-up, and availability at big box stores, will exist a hit with minor business concern owners. I took a close look at the new Samsung Smart Signage Goggle box to tell you lot what you tin expect.

Overview

Smart Boob tube systems are nothing new. LG's Smart TV with WebOS has a comparably-sized 42-inch model going for $849 (most £520, AU$905), while Panasonic simply announced its new smart 4K Tv set line – including the new flagship AX902. But while these televisions are aimed at a more full general consumer and allow users to practice everything from browse the web to use apps, SSTV is more of a niche product designed to do 1 thing well – brandish signage.

In fact, the SSTV could be considered a pared-downwards version of some of Samsung's existing digital signage solutions for enterprise use. That includes the Samsung Smart Signage Platform (SSP), which comes with a lot more bells and whistles than the SSTV. The SSTV, however, is aimed at single location storefronts and service providers – not corporate businesses. Permit's take a look at what the model does include.

Out of the box

The SSTV comes packaged in a slim, colorful box (around 38 pounds) that looks like it was designed to slide easily off a shelf and onto a cart at a big box shop. In fact, the product is being rolled out at order retailers as well as major electronics stores. Within is everything required to get the Television receiver up and running.

The box includes the SSTV and TV stand, the MagicInfo Express content direction software (preloaded on the Goggle box), components for a wall mount, a quick setup guide, power cord, warranty card, remote control with batteries and a USB stick for transferring content to the TV. Full ready-upward time to become the SSTV operational and running its first templates takes about half a 24-hour interval, depending on the user'south abilities.

The television hardware itself features a professional person-course LED-lit LCD display (60 Hz Slim Straight-Lit Panel) and has nigh 16 hours of battery life to align with about business organisation hours. The display on both models features a resolution of 1,920 ten ane,080 and a brightness of 350nit. The congenital in speakers are both 10W. Onscreen content displays well-baked and clear. Then far, information technology appears to be a solid television – now let's take a look at the signage solution.
