Chrome Sign Builder showed a URL on a screen. Most software-only Chrome Sign Builder alternatives still leave you to source displays, hire installers, manage content, and answer your own support tickets. We do all of it on one contract — and the NEO media player is free for migrators while the offer lasts.
01
We replace consumer TVs that overheat and die after 6–18 months of always-on signage duty with indoor 4K commercial displays specified for 16/7 or 24/7 operation. 500-nit options, anti-glare finish, locked controls, 50,000-hour panel rating, manufacturer commercial warranty, and anti-burn-in technology built in.
02
Licensed and insured technicians handle site survey, electrical, mounting, cable management, network, and commissioning. Standardized install kits when scope allows (CBD Kratom: 55+ stores in under 10 days). One project manager owns the rollout end-to-end.
03
Manage every screen from any browser. Drag-and-drop scheduling, dayparting, multi-zone layouts, real-time monitoring, multi-tier permissions. Native integrations: Google Slides, Canva, social feeds, weather, news, Google Reviews, Power BI, POS — not the limited widget set Chrome Sign Builder shipped with.
04
Purpose-built signage hardware that replaces your Chromebox. Compact, fanless, 4K with auto power-on recovery. Free for Chrome Sign Builder migrators (limited time). No ChromeOS dependency, no kiosk-mode workarounds, no January 2025 cliff.
05
Same person from week one through year five. The team that scoped your install runs the relationship at year three. No CSM Tier 1 → Tier 2 → escalation funnel. Phone, chat, and a published 48-hour replacement-player SLA — not a Google community forum.
06
Hardware, install, software, content, managed services on one contract. The DIY alternatives leave you to coordinate four separate vendors plus a content workflow on your own time. We sign for the whole stack and ship one invoice.
Chrome Sign Builder was "free" — but you were paying in hardware, install, content time, and outage downtime. Set the inputs below to compare DIY total cost against CrownTV turnkey for your scope.
Consumer TVs typically last 1–3 years on always-on signage duty before burn-in or panel failure.
Content updates, troubleshooting, rebooting players, dealing with outages.

Five steps. We do all five. Most operators are off Chrome Sign Builder and live on CrownTV before the first kiosk-mode warning hits their devices.
01
Tell us your screen count, locations, current Chromebox + display models, and the content library you're running. We pull your Chrome Sign Builder workflow into a CrownTV migration plan inside the call.
02
Free CrownTV NEO media player per screen ships direct. If your existing displays are commercial-grade and current, the NEO plugs into them — no replacement needed. If they're consumer TVs running 12+ hours a day, we phase commercial displays against your construction calendar.
03
Most migrations book licensed and insured CrownTV technicians for the install — mount, cable, network, commission. If you'd rather swap the player yourself, the NEO ships pre-configured: plug HDMI into the display, plug in power and ethernet, log into the Dashboard.
04
Our team migrates your Chrome Sign Builder content library into the CrownTV Dashboard — playlists, schedules, screen groups, content rotations. We keep your existing campaign rhythm intact and time the cutover to minimize off-screen time.
05
Every screen running on the Dashboard from any browser. Drag-and-drop scheduling, dayparting, multi-zone layouts, real-time monitoring. Chrome Sign Builder, the Chromebox, and the kiosk-mode workarounds — all gone. One number to call when something needs attention: (347) 410-6890.
Chrome Sign Builder was free; CrownTV starts at $20 per screen per month for software-only, and per-screen all-in turnkey runs $3,200 to $19,600 depending on panel size — commercial display, mount, media player, professional install, on-site training, network setup, and the first year of our Dashboard software in one number. The CrownTV NEO media player is free for Chrome Sign Builder migrators (limited time). Volume pricing applies above five locations.
