Digital signage is basically targeted advertising delivered to a computer monitor or television monitor. It's usually computer served. Lots of retailers are starting to do it for advertising purposes. Probably the most common application is in airports, for flight announcements, etc.

Some common displays are from NEC (like this one), and Pioneer and Panasonic plasmas are commonly used as well (professional models).
