mediaPanel review
A focused kiosk signage system with broad content support and appliance-based deployment.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
mediaPanel combines a dedicated mediaPanel device with cloud-based content management for TVs and displays. It suits schools, restaurants, retailers, offices, and customer waiting areas that need remotely managed, kiosk-style signage. The system supports scheduled advertisements, image and video slideshows, websites, news, weather, calendars, social media, live streams, alerts, and other configurable applications. Offline kiosk operation also supports continued display operation when a connection is unavailable.
The published plan costs $437 USD one time per device. That purchase includes the mediaPanel device, power supply, HDMI cable, wireless adapter, and access to the cloud-based content management system. There is one listed plan rather than separate feature tiers. For operators comparing signage costs, the hardware-inclusive structure makes the initial device expense clear, while the plan also covers the cloud management layer. Pricing therefore fits deployments that prefer an appliance purchase over a recurring software charge.
Content and display controls are the main strengths. Operators can place multiple applications and zones on one display, schedule advertisements and image content, group devices for faster configuration, view displayed content live, manage user permissions, and schedule TV power control. Integrations include Google Calendar, YouTube, uStream, RSS feeds, Instagram, Twitter, AP News, Dark Sky, and Alpha Vantage. Choose mediaPanel for appliance-based, content-rich signage with offline operation and remote management. Organizations needing more granular roles, richer collaboration, or a non-device-based deployment should consider an alternative.
