Samsung Offers New Small Form-Factor, Touch-Embedded Solutions
Gail Chiasson, North American Editor
Samsung Electronics America Inc., Ridgefield Part, New Jersey, announced yesterday (Oct. 28/14) a range of small-form factor digital signage solutions to address growing demand from retailers and other businesses seeking to replace printed posters and drive increased interactivity.
“Samsung is constantly looking for ways to innovate our digital signage offerings and provide businesses with new solutions for enhancing customer engagement, operational efficiency and communications,” says Tod Pike, senior vice-president at Samsung’s enterprise business division. “Our new small-form factor displays offer a simple, smart and cost-effective way for businesses to transition from static posters and take advantage of the opportunities presented by interactive and dynamic digital technology.”
The new 22” and 10” commercial displays address demand for small, easy-to-deploy digital signage for retail, corporate and other applications
The larger of the two, the size of a sheet of tabloid paper, offers a smart replacement for small static posters used in retail, public spaces or corporate environments.
The DB22D-T, which adds integrated touch for interactive applications – with up to 10 points of simultaneous touch – is ideal for enhancing customer engagement and convenience, allowing guests to tap, swipe and scroll to access information.
The smaller DB10D is ideal for shelf-level advertising or cash register signage in retail or meeting room signage.
Featuring the next-generation Samsung Smart Signage Platform, the new small signage displays do not require an external media player. With built-in WiFi, content can be delivered wirelessly, meaning that power is the only cabling required to drive the display. The displays also come with Samsung MagicInfo software.

We have tested the new products and they operate as well as their larger siblings up to the 95″ SSP Display.
Thew new 22″ non-touch model is mainly a display quality upgrade on the original device that Samsung brought to market earlier this year, which was ‘ok’ but lacks brightness and viewing angles required for portrait use.
The 22″ touch model is a great solution for web-based HTML5 interactive content and we have seen some really impressive demonstrations from our partners putting SSP touch through it’s paces.
The 10″ Samsung SSP Display is a much better option than using a Galaxy tablet for small form-factor applications; due to the overall stability and locked-down nature of the SSP device, compared to the challenge of securing and managing Android tablets in an unattended public environment.
We have over 5,000 non-Samsung 10″ or smaller displays under management globally and we are pleased to see Samsung enter the fray.
