Indoor floor standing digital signage totem

Totem or wall-mount: which format fits

The panel, the player and the CMS are identical — the difference is where the weight goes. A wall-mounted signage screen needs a load-bearing wall, a fixed power point and, in a leased space, the landlord's permission. An indoor totem carries its own base, plugs into any socket, and can be repositioned for a season, an event or a store reset without a contractor.

Choose the totem when the display has to move, when the wall is glass or plasterboard, or when the screen is part of a temporary stand. Choose wall-mounted commercial LCD when the position is permanent and floor space is scarce — a totem occupies roughly half a square metre of floor that a wall screen does not.

For a shop window facing the street, neither is right: sunlight through glass washes out a 350-nit panel, and the correct product is a 2,500-nit high-brightness window display. For a totem that lives outdoors, see the outdoor LCD display with its IP-rated enclosure.
