How To Ensure The Most Effective Choices For Menu Board Display Whether you are using an outdoor digital signage or the indoors to display the menu content at the restaurants, choosing the right screens is extremely important. This way you can ensure high visibility among the maximum number of prospects increasing the sales and thus the establishment returns. The best screens should be: 

Aesthetically pleasing

Durable, long-lasting

Fully compatible with chosen software

For effective functionalities menu board screens come with some crucial and state of the art features. Some of the considerations for best results with your board choices include the following. Choice between LCD and LED For most restaurants owners LED is the ideal choice as these screens; 

Generate low heat

Utilize low-power

Have a thin and light design

LED configurations can be of different types, ranging from local dimming to edge lit displays. However, if you already have a LCD display in your restraint, there is no need to upgrade to LED with any haste because these also offer high-quality screens. The only difference between the two is in the associated backlighting technology. One uses light emitting diodes, while the other cathode fluorescent lights or CFLs. However, the third type of screen available for the purpose that uses plasma technology is not ideal for menu board displays. The reasons being their susceptibility to screen burns along with other limitations like heavyweight, fragility, and high associated costs.


Choice based on screen resolution Whatever information you present on the digital menu boards should offer the highest quality of resolution for maximum impact on your audience. HD designation is for resolution within the range of 1024x768 - 3840x2160. The 1080 p and 720 P ratings indicate the ability of the screen to playback various types of presented content. For broadcast screens 720 p resolutions is quite enough. However, in a menu board, you may sometimes need to connect these screens with media device players. So, high resolution displays in such cases will help you to show more amounts of content. Consideration of refresh rates This signifies the redrawing speed of on-screen display data. Modern rates are mostly in the range of 30 Hz-240 Hz with 60 Hz being the average. High rates of refresh mean that your audience will be able to enjoy lossless content playback with frame rates being quite high as well. When you are presenting content at high speed, effective refresh rates ensure reduced blurring of motion. For example, a display of 240 Hz is capable of displaying 240 images per second. However, for a menu board, even when you are in the mood to display video, 60 Hz refresh rates will prove to be more than sufficient. So what should be the screen size? Screens should be in keeping with: 

Distance of menu board from customers

Area of the room where you will install the display

Number of menu items available for display
