Trusted by POS system integrators across 30+ countries, our retail displays support millions of daily consumer transactions worldwide.
Common Retail & POS Display Problems — and How We Specify Around Them
What we specify: Specify an all-in-one display with the Android or Windows computing module inside the panel. It removes the separate PC box, the bracket and most of the cabling — usually the only way a retrofit fits an existing counter.
What we specify: One computing module can drive two screens independently — the POS application on the operator side, transaction detail or promotion on the customer side. Confirm this at specification stage, because a second video output is not standard on every board.
What we specify: 250-500 cd/m² for standard store lighting; 700-1000 cd/m² where the till sits under spotlights or beside a window. Anti-glare coating handles the reflection that brightness alone cannot fix.
What we specify: Custom bezel colours matched to your Pantone reference, metallic finishes, silk-screen logo printing and custom packaging for volume orders — one visual standard across every location.
What we specify: Start with one unit to validate the fit, then pilot 10-50 units before the volume build. Standard configurations ship faster than custom-built units, so lock the mechanical specification early and let the quantity flex.
POS Terminal Displays
Our POS displays feature slim bezel designs that maximize screen area in compact checkout spaces. Available in sizes from 5" to 55", they support PCAP touch for intuitive operator interaction and optional customer-facing secondary displays for price confirmation and promotional content. Integrated Android or Windows computing modules eliminate the need for separate POS computers, simplifying installation and reducing cabling in point-of-sale areas.
Customer-Facing Display Solutions
Customer-facing displays enhance the retail experience by showing transaction details, promotional content, and loyalty program information. Our dual-display solutions enable synchronized content across operator and customer screens. High-brightness panels ensure clear visibility under bright store lighting, while anti-glare coatings reduce reflections from overhead lights. Slim profiles and clean cable management maintain a professional retail aesthetic.
Retail Digital Signage Integration
Beyond POS terminals, our display portfolio includes digital signage solutions for in-store advertising, menu boards, and promotional displays. Available in standard 16:9 aspect ratios and ultra-wide stretched formats (16:3, 16:4.8), these displays create engaging visual merchandising that captures shopper attention. Integrated media players running Android or Windows enable content management through standard digital signage platforms.
Selection Parameters — What to Specify for Retail & POS
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Screen Size | 8" to 21" 8"-15" for operator terminals; 17"-21" for customer-facing screens read from standing height; up to 55" for in-store signage. |
| Resolution | 800×480 to 1920×1080 1080p on any screen carrying price or promotional text — low resolution is the most common complaint on a customer-facing display. |
| Brightness | 250 to 1500 cd/m² 250-500 cd/m² indoors; 700-1000 under spotlights or beside a window; add anti-glare for reflections. |
| Touch Technology | PCAP PCAP for the operator and for customer signature or loyalty prompts; display-only for pure price-confirmation screens. |
| Integrated Computing | Android 10/11, Windows 10/11 IoT Choose integrated computing when the counter has no room for a separate PC — it is a space decision, not a performance one. |
| Mounting Options | VESA, Panel Mount, Stand, Flush Confirm the counter cut-out before ordering: flush and panel mount need the opening dimension, stand and VESA do not. |
| Service Life | 50,000+ hours backlight About 5 years of 24/7 use, or 8-12 years at 12-16 hours daily — the figure that matters for a chain refresh cycle. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer displays with integrated POS computers?
Yes. Our Android LCD series and Windows panel PC series integrate the display, touch screen, and computing module in a single unit. Available with Android 10/11 or Windows 10/11 IoT Enterprise, these all-in-one solutions simplify POS deployment.
Can your displays show different content on operator and customer screens?
Yes. Our dual-display POS solutions support independent content on two screens from a single computing module. The operator screen shows the POS application while the customer-facing screen can display transaction details, advertisements, or loyalty program prompts.
What is the typical service life of your POS displays in retail deployments?
Our POS displays are rated for 50,000+ hours backlight life with 24/7 operation — equivalent to over 5 years of continuous use. Most retail deployments see 8-12 years of service life when operated 12-16 hours daily, making them a durable long-term investment for retail chains.
Can you color-match display bezels to our retail brand identity?
Yes. We offer custom bezel colors matching your brand's Pantone specifications, including metallic finishes. Silk-screen logo printing and custom packaging with your retail branding are also available for volume orders. This helps maintain consistent brand presentation across all store locations.
Can we start with one unit before a chain-wide rollout?
Yes — there is no MOQ. Retail programmes normally begin with a single unit to validate the counter fit and the software image, then move to a pilot batch of 10-50 units across a few stores, and only then to the full volume build. Standard configurations ship faster than custom-built units.
Can we run our own POS software on the display?
Yes. With the integrated Android or Windows module you install your own POS application on the unit. If you prefer to keep your existing POS terminal, the display is supplied as a standard monitor with HDMI, VGA or DP input and PCAP touch.
