Digital Signage Installation

LVForce installs digital signage for commercial and multi-site brands in all 50 states: commercial displays, video walls, indoor and drive-thru menu boards, outdoor high-brightness screens, media players and the concealed power and data infrastructure behind them. We install to your specification and your content platform, then verify playback before we leave the site.

Signage is judged on two things: whether the picture is on, and whether the installation looks intentional. A screen hung two degrees off level with a power strip visible below it undermines the entire investment, which is why mounting, cable concealment and structural work get as much attention from us as the electronics.

Mounting is a structural question first. A 55-inch commercial display with its mount typically runs 60 to 100 pounds; a 3x3 video wall runs several hundred pounds concentrated on a small wall area. We attach to structure — studs, blocking, unistrut, strut channel spanning studs, or ceiling attachment to deck with rated hardware — never to drywall anchors alone, and we verify what is actually behind the wall before committing to a location.

We install flat, tilt, articulating, pop-out service and ceiling-suspended mounts, plus custom fabricated structures where millwork or an unusual location demands it. Every display is leveled and set at the height the design calls for, and pop-out or service-access mounts are used for video walls and recessed installations so a failed panel can be pulled without dismantling the wall.

Every install we do runs power and data concealed. Data drops are Cat6 or Cat6A run from the IDF or local rack to each display or player location, terminated to a patch panel, tested and labeled, with PoE used where the display or player supports it. Power is coordinated with your electrician so a receptacle lands behind the display within the mount's cable management path, not on an adjacent wall with a cord draped across it.

In existing finished spaces we fish walls, use in-wall rated pathway where required by code, and locate players in a rack or behind the display in a purpose-made recess rather than resting on a ledge. Longer runs and multi-display distributions use HDBaseT-class extension or IP-based distribution rather than long passive HDMI cables, which is where a lot of low-bid signage installs fail intermittently six months in. Our structured cabling and AV systems teams do this layer as part of the same project.

We install and verify the hardware; your content management platform and creative team own the content. That said, no installation is complete until the screen is actually playing what it should, so we work with your CMS provider or IT team during handover: connecting each player or display to the network, confirming it registers with the platform, verifying the correct playlist or channel appears on the correct screen, and checking orientation, resolution, scaling and aspect ratio.

Getting the right content on the right screen is a labeling discipline. Every display and player is documented with location, device ID, serial and network details, so the person assigning content remotely is not guessing which of the eleven screens in a store is "Player 7."

Pricing is driven by display count and size, mount type and structural complexity, how much new power and data infrastructure is required, working height and whether lifts or scaffolding are needed, indoor versus outdoor and weather-rated work, after-hours scheduling, and travel to the market.

Video walls and outdoor drive-thru installations sit at the high end because of alignment tolerances, structural requirements and weather sealing. Straightforward single-display installs in a space with existing power and data are quick and inexpensive. For chain programs we quote a blended per-site rate against a defined kit with survey allowances for outliers.
