Custom Display Screen: Find the Right One for Your Need
"Custom display screen" can mean many things. Answer a few quick questions about your use and this page points you to the right type — then EKINTRY quotes it factory-direct.
"Custom display screen" is a broad term — it can mean an advertising LED screen, a video wall, an interactive touch panel or storefront signage. The right product depends entirely on what you are trying to do, where it goes and who sees it.
Rather than guess, this page segments by use so you land on the correct type quickly, then links straight to it. EKINTRY makes all of them and quotes factory-direct, so once you know the type you are one step from a price.
Who custom screens are for
- Buyers unsure which display type they need.
- First-time commercial-display purchasers.
- Marketing or facilities staff scoping a project.
- Anyone comparing options before enquiring.
Find your type by what you want to do
Match your goal to the product:
- Advertise to passing footfall → LED advertising screen or storefront/window screen.
- Show one big seamless image in a hall or lobby → LED video wall.
- Let people touch the screen (teach, present, self-serve) → interactive display.
- Run promotions inside a shop → retail LED display or digital poster.
- Fit an exact non-standard space → custom-size LED screen.
Indoor or outdoor changes everything
Before the type, settle indoor vs outdoor: it sets brightness and weatherproofing and rules some options in or out. A sun-facing or outdoor location needs a high-brightness, IP-rated build; an indoor space can use a finer, cheaper screen.
Then the size and viewing distance
Once the type and environment are clear, size and pixel pitch follow from how big the space is and how close people stand. Our pixel-pitch and viewing-distance calculators turn those into a recommended spec.
When you do NOT need a custom display
If a standard off-the-shelf size genuinely fits and the use is light, you may not need a custom build. Custom display screens pay off when the space, shape, brightness or duty cycle exceed what a stock product covers — which, for commercial use, is most of the time.
Common mistakes to avoid
Where people go wrong choosing:
- Picking a product before deciding indoor vs outdoor.
- Choosing a video wall for a job a single screen handles (or vice-versa).
- Ignoring viewing distance, then over- or under-buying pixel pitch.
- Assuming one "display screen" fits every use — match the type to the goal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a custom display screen?
A broad term for a commercial display built to your needs — it could be an advertising LED screen, a video wall, an interactive panel or signage. The right one depends on your use, location and audience.
How do I know which type I need?
Start from the goal: advertising → LED/storefront screen; one big seamless image → video wall; touch → interactive; in-store promo → retail LED or poster; exact odd size → custom-size LED.
Should it be indoor or outdoor?
Decide this first — it sets the brightness and weatherproofing and rules some options in or out. Outdoor/sunlit needs a high-brightness IP-rated build.
LED or LCD?
For custom sizes and seamless or outdoor use, LED. For cost-effective indoor detail at standard sizes, LCD can suit — we advise per use.
Do I always need a custom screen?
No — if a stock size fits and use is light, a standard product may do. Custom pays off when space, shape, brightness or duty cycle exceed stock, which is typical for commercial use.
