VERDICT

Should I use CrownTV?

CrownTV is a turnkey digital signage company — commercial displays, signage software, and nationwide install under one contract. 13 yrs, 10,000+ screens. - crowntv-us.com

Depends. Buy if you're deploying screens across many locations and want one vendor for hardware, software, installation, and support. Skip it for one or two screens — a commercial display plus OptiSigns or Yodeck is far cheaper and simpler.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 12 public sources; independent review evidence is thin.

Turnkey bundle: displays + software + install on one contract. Right for multi-site rollouts, overkill for 1-2 screens.
