What Size Digital Kiosk is Best?

Selecting the right size of digital kiosk can seem daunting, however the choice is typically not as difficult as you may think. For a number of reasons such as digital signage visibility, stock availability, and overall practicality the 55″ digital kiosk often considered the ideal choice. In this article we will outline the various reasons why we recommend the 55″ model for our digital interactive displays, including some real usage cases. 

1. The 55" Digital Kiosk is More Visible

Smaller digital kiosks, such as the 32″ or the 43″, can easily be overlooked by guests when placed in a busy location such as a lobby or retail store. The 55″ interactive kiosk, by comparison, is large enough to be visible to all guests and not so large that it is overwhelming up close. Not only are smaller kiosks frequently blocked by other customers, but they can fail to properly stand out and demand attention; for example, if placed next to a large display or another screen, the kisok may demand less attention due to its smaller size. In environments like malls, airports, and office buildings, the 55″ screen has become a standard because it fits well into most locations, without being intrusive, while still having a large impact.

2. A 55" Display Offers More Touch Screen Space

Interactive kiosks, such as retail displays or interactive building directories, also benefit from the larger screen space the 55″ kiosk provides. Thanks to this extra screen space, users can interact comfortably with your display without needing to zoom, scroll, or look at cramped content. Additionally, the extra screen space granted by the 55″ touch kiosk means that your business can include more information and more touch points, creating the ability for a greater level of interactivity and depth.

3. Versatility in Content Display

Many businesses prefer the 55″ display screen as it enables more versatile content design, and allows for different zones to more effectively use different types of content. For example, one section of the display may showcase a video advertisement, while the other showcases your building tenants and relevant announcements. This size allows a business to display multiple sections on the screen, and ensures that different pieces of content (maps, text, video, etc.) can be displayed simultaneously without feeling cluttered or losing clarity.

4. The Most Cost-Effective and Available Digital Kiosk

Due to their popularity, for the reasons outlined above, 55″ displays have become the standard size in both the consumer and the commercial markets. Thanks to their ubiquity, 55″ kiosks are more affordable and more readily available than other more niche sizes, while still offering the same great performance. Additionally, as this is the standard size, there are many hardware and software solutions that are optimized for this size; in other words, compatible systems and templates are more readily available for 55″ screens.

5. Ergonomics and Eye Comfort are Important

For interactive applications where users stand close to the screen, such as digital building directories, the size of the 55″ digital kiosk provides the ideal viewing area. The screen is big enough to showcase enough information in an easy to follow way, but not so large that people will experience strain or difficulty trying to view the entire display at once.
