Financing: Screaming Signs is one of the very few sellers on the web that offers a lease to own program. The program is limited to our Screaming Signs, and Shout-Out DayBright signs. That should tell you something, because the leasing companies are willing to carry the note for up to 5 years. While leasing options are common for large Outdoor LED signage, there are few that can get leasing for their signs in this class. Please note, that our Shop Now pages do not support back links to apply for financing, Once you have decided on a sign, please come back and see our Financing for LED signs page should you care to apply.
Like most products, Programmable LED signs come in a variety of sizes and styles, as well as functions, features and most important, QUALITY.
A word about quality: Unless you are using the LED device strictly as an indoor message board with no graphics, You want the best sign you can afford. Led Signs are NOT created equally!
The cheapest signs are Chinese made; they are known to have developed problems after a few short months of use. They can be difficult to read and may scroll in a jerky fashion. Don't worry, you won't find them here. Tip: Sellers usually offer only a 90 Day Warranty on these signs. The kicker is while these signs may sell for a couple of hundred dollars less than many signs that seem similar in size and function, you can tell the differance immidiatly if you see them in person.
Visibility: When using an LED sign displayed in a window the sign is competing with the light of the Sun. Only the brightest LED signs can retain their vibrancy, readability and "WOW" power in bright daylight. Unfortunately, some LED sign companies have set pretty low standards for what they call Semi-Outdoor LED signs suitable for window display. The minimum Big Dog standard requires LED scrolling messages to be readable at a minimum distance of 125 feet, in broad daylight, before we say "OK for Window display." and 175 feet when we say "Good for Window Display." Please note that these standards only apply to our bottom rung Electronic Message Centers.
Below, you will find three categories of signs. These three lines are divided by quality and function as follows.
Ultra Brite LED's powered by a one-fourth duty driver make for the very brightest (3500 CD), and feature packed LED programmable signs in their class on the market today. Only the huge bill-board LED signs are more luminous. These LED's are the very latest technology and imported directly from South Korea and manufactured using only Korean parts. Korean electronics are well known to be far superior to those made in China. Some examples are Samsung, LG, and Daewoo. How many famous Chinese electronics companies can you think of? Screaming Signs are visible, depending on model, from 600 to 1200 feet in broad daylight. One of the few LED signs available that are fully waterproof and approved for outdoor use. Even when used indoors, Water Proof is important if the windows in your location ever tend to fog-up. Moreover, it just goes to show the overall higher quality.
Bottom Line: You simply can not find a better electronic variable message board in this class anywhere! These Signs do cost more, but they are well worth it.
Bells and Whistles: I have had customers tell me they don't need all the features and special effects our Screaming Signs offer: I disagree. The entire concept behind LED Moving Message Boards is that they should attract more attention. Moving immages and flashing effects are far more effective than scrolling messages and static graphics alone. And more choices means that you can drastically change the way you sign looks and change it often. This keeps the sign fresh and interesting. The same message scrolling by day after day soon looses its Wow power. 100 Message capicity and over 200 graphics and effects allows you to vertually have a different sign every day, and even several times a day! People will actually look to see what the sign is doing now. That's landmarking, that's branding.
Our Signs Really Are Brighter!
Screaming Signs-TM use Only the Very Brightest LEDs with 1/4 duty drivers rated at 3500 CD. Screaming Signs are Far Brighter then the 1/8 duty drives, at just 2500 CD, used in most of our competitors signs that claim to be the brightest. This difference is huge when viewed on Sunny days. If you have ever seen an LED sign that looked drowned-out in bright day light, It was not a SCREAMING SIGN!

Shout-Out DayBrite Line
Just 18 months ago, these Ultra Bright LED, one-eighth Duty drive, signs were the top of the line. They are not as bright--about 72%--as our Screaming Signs-TM, and come preloaded with less than half the graphic and special effects choices. A true semi-outdoor line that's more than adequate where visibility over 300 to 350 feet is not required, or when you need a great sign on a tighter budget.

Indoor, and Semi-Outdoor, Electronic Message Centers:
If you have been seriously shopping for an LED scrolling sign, you may recognize some of these signs by their graphics. These are run-of-the-mill, better grade, generic Chinese made signs. Although many of our competitors list many of these signs as Indoor-Outdoor, or Semi-Outdoor LED signs, few are really bright enough for effective window display. Unless we specifically mention "OK for window display," you will regret your purchase no matter who you bought it from. However, you should realize that "OK" means just that; if you are serious about using your LED sign to attract new business from your window, Few of these electronic display boards offer a lot of "WOW" power in daylight.
If you are looking to simply make in-store, or office, announcements, and advertisement messages. These low cost signs fit the bill.
