Signage Displays
Offering all the features and functionality of standard models, ENERGY STAR certified signage displays, also known as digital signage or commercial displays, come with more efficient and cooler-running panel technologies that can save you money.
- On average, signage displays that have earned the ENERGY STAR are 4 percent more energy efficient than conventional options.
- A signage display (31.5 – 60”) can save around $25 over its lifetime (assumption - left on 24 hours 365 days).
- A 3 x 3 video wall can save nearly $230 over its lifetime (assumption - left on 24 hours 365 days).
Most signage displays are covered under the ENERGY STAR certified displays specification. Displays that include a tuner or batteries designed to support mobility (e.g., electronic readers, battery-powered digital picture frames) are not covered.
Who uses signage displays?
Signage displays are generally used in offices (e.g., conference rooms, digital signage in lobbies), airports (e.g., flight information monitors), restaurants (e.g., menu boards), retail (e.g., outdoor advertising, video walls), and higher education. The vast majority of retailers (94%) use or have used digital signage to augment, change, or improve customers' in-store experiences.
Current Specification Effective Date: January 28, 2020
ENERGY STAR certified signage displays meet stringent energy efficiency requirements in On, Sleep, and Off Modes. The On Mode limit is a hyperbolic tangent equation, and power requirements vary according to screen area and maximum measured luminance of the display, with allowances for automatic brightness controll and embedded modules. The basic Sleep Mode power shall be less than or equal to 0.5 watts plus additional allowances for network connectivity, occupancy sensor, and touch functionality. For Displays that offer an Off Mode, measured Off Mode power shall be less than or equal to 0.5 watts.
