2 Inch Character Height: The Counter and Window Display Size

Character height determines how far away the sign reads clearly. A 2" character suits close-range display — counter positions, window displays visible from sidewalk distance, and wall-mounted signs in smaller retail spaces where shoppers are within 15 to 20 feet of the sign. At 2" with a 160-degree viewing angle, the display reads from most counter and near-window positions without requiring the viewer to be directly in front of the sign.

The three width options — 12, 16, and 24 characters — cover the most common counter and window display sizes. A 12-character display at 21.8" wide fits tight counter positions. A 24-character display at 39.8" wide suits wider window or wall positions where a longer message needs to display without scrolling too quickly. Each additional character option adds display width without changing the 2" character height or the sign's core programming capabilities.

Programmable from Remote, PC, or Email

Most LED signs in retail use a remote control only — point and click to program. This 2 inch LED display goes further. Program it from the included infrared remote keyboard with password protection. Connect it to any PC on the same network and program messages directly from a Windows PC without standing next to the sign. Send message updates via internet email — the sign receives and displays the new message without physical access to the unit.

That remote programming capability matters in multi-department retail stores where the sign position is not easily accessible from the floor, in window display positions where reaching the sign requires moving product, and in any store where the manager programs the sign from a back office rather than the sales floor. The 52-page memory bank stores enough message content for a full week of scheduled messaging without reprogramming.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 12, 16, and 24 character widths?

All three widths use the same 2" character height, 16-color display, and programming system. The character count determines how many characters display at one time without scrolling, and how wide the physical unit is. A 12-character display measures 21.8" wide — suited for tight counter positions. A 16-character display measures 27.8" wide. A 24-character display measures 39.8" wide — suited for wider window and wall positions. Longer messages display across more characters at once on the wider units before scrolling begins.

Does this sign need a specialist to install?

No. The 2 inch LED display plugs into a standard wall outlet — no specialist electrical installation needed. Mount it to the wall or counter position, plug it in, and program from the included infrared remote keyboard. PC and email programming require a network connection. Free 30-day trial software for Windows is included with the unit.

Can this display receive live news and sports updates?

Yes — with an optional satellite receiver purchased separately. The display supports satellite updates for news, sports scores, and stock quotes when the optional receiver is connected. Without the receiver, the sign displays only the messages programmed via remote, PC, or email. The optional receiver is not included with the base unit.
