Curb Media architectural digital signage — matte-black display head docked into a weighted LiFePO₄ ballast base, no visible cables.

The architecture

Light on top. Heavy on the bottom.

Conventional outdoor signage hides its weakness behind sandbags, tripods and trailing cables. Curb Media inverts the brief. The display itself is a sealed, lightweight head — one agent, one hand, from car to kerb. Everything that makes it run lives quietly inside a low, weighted dock. Set it down. Drop the screen on. Magnets do the rest. There is nothing to plug in, because there is nothing to unplug.

Head

Matte-black chassis, smoked-glass face, portrait LED or LCD panel. Under 8 kg even at Billboard size. One person, one hand, one motion.

Dock

Concealed magnetic contacts inside the base. The head self-aligns and locks. IP65 sealed against rain, salt and dust.

Base

LiFePO₄ battery, BMS and connectivity sealed inside a weighted ballast. Charges overnight in the office. On the Billboard, full-frame solar strips keep it topped up on site.

How it docks

Three motions. No setup.

No tripod legs to unlock. No cables to thread. No power switch to find. Place. Drop. Walk away.

  1. 01

    Place the base.

    Carry the ballast base to the corner. It sits flat on grass, paver or footpath — the weight does the work.

  2. 02

    Drop the head in.

    Concealed magnets self-align the head into the dock. You feel the click. Pogo-pin contacts close inside, sealed and invisible.

  3. 03

    Walk away.

    The screen powers on automatically. Your campaign is already loaded. At pack-down, lift the head off — same motion, in reverse.

Magnetic pogo-pin docking is the same family of connection used in cordless surgical carts, marine battery systems and premium cordless appliances. Field-proven, weather-sealed, no exposed contacts.

Pricing on application. Interest-free financing available across all three formats.

LED or LCD

Two panels. One frame.

Every Pointer, Plus and Billboard ships in your choice of LED or LCD. Same chassis. Same dock. Same untethered base. The panel is the only thing that changes — pick by where the sign will live.

LCD

Smoked-glass face, deepest blacks, finest detail at close range. Best for portraits, fine type and interior-grade presentation. Indoor-to-shaded outdoor brightness.

LED

Self-emissive, direct-sun readable, wider viewing angle. Best where the sign faces north, west or open sky, and where the message has to read from across the street.

Pointer · up to 21"

LCD

1,000 nits · cinematic smoked-glass look.

Choose for shaded corners, covered walkways, courtyard directionals, and luxury townhouse open homes.

LED

1,500 nits · direct-sun readable.

Choose for sun-baked corners, long approach roads, and Saturday opens where you need the arrow seen from 40 m.

Plus · 27"–43"

LCD

1,500 nits · gallery-grade detail.

Choose when the front gate is shaded by trees or eaves and the vendor portrait, price guide and auction time need editorial finish.

LED

2,000 nits · all-day sun.

Choose for open, north-facing frontages on busy streets where the sign competes with daylight from 9 to 5.

Billboard · 55"–86"

LCD

1,500 nits · architectural finish.

Choose for short campaigns on shaded frontages, heritage streets and premium estates where the panel must read like a piece of furniture, not a billboard.

LED

Up to 2,500 nits · direct-sun, anti-glare.

Choose for 4 – 8 week For Sale & Auction campaigns on open frontages. Solar-maintained, weather-sealed, legible from the opposite footpath.

FAQ · LED vs LCD

Sunlight, battery, indoor read — answered.

The five questions agents ask most when choosing a panel for a listing. Every answer applies across Pointer, Plus and Billboard.

How bright are Curb Media's LED panels in direct sun versus LCD?
LED heads go significantly brighter and stay legible in full sun. Across the range: Pointer LED runs 1,500 nits vs LCD 1,000 nits; Plus LED 2,000 nits vs LCD 1,500 nits; Billboard LED up to 2,500 nits vs LCD 1,500 nits. As a rule of thumb, anything above ~1,500 nits reads cleanly in direct midday sun on an open frontage. LCD heads stay sharper-looking in shade and at close range, but lose contrast under harsh north-facing light.
Does LED drain the battery faster than LCD?
Slightly, but not enough to change the deployment. Both panel types are driven by the same docked LiFePO₄ ballast base and ship tuned to comfortably clear a full open-home Saturday on Pointer and Plus. LED runs hotter at peak brightness, so on full-sun days the unit dims intelligently between scenes to protect runtime — you still get 8+ hours screen-on. Billboard runs unattended for 4–8 weeks on either panel thanks to the full-frame solar trickle; LED simply means the solar works a little harder on cloudless weeks.
Which panel reads better indoors or under cover?
LCD, clearly. The smoked-glass front gives deeper blacks, finer type and an editorial finish that suits foyers, agency windows, covered walkways and shaded courtyard directionals. LED is engineered to fight sunlight — indoors it can feel over-bright unless dimmed, and the self-emissive pixel structure is visible at close range. If the sign lives mostly under cover or in soft light, choose LCD.
Can I mix LED and LCD across one agency fleet?
Yes — and most agencies do. A typical fleet pairs LCD Pointers for shaded inner-city corners with LED Plus units for sun-exposed front gates, and chooses Billboard panel-by-panel based on the listing. The Curb Media app treats them identically, so content scheduling and branding don't change between units. Send us your patch and we'll recommend a split on the quote.
Will LED look harsh on a luxury listing?
Not if it's specified correctly. Curb's LED heads use a fine pixel pitch with an anti-glare matte front and adaptive dimming that softens output for dusk opens and after-hours auction reveals. That said, for heritage frontages, leafy estates and architectural homes where the sign is meant to read as a piece of furniture, we still recommend LCD — the smoked-glass face is quieter on the eye and more in keeping with the brief.

FAQ · the range

Pointer, Plus or Billboard — answered.

What's the difference between Curb Pointer, Plus and Billboard?
Pointer is the directional — up to 21" in LED or LCD, sized to mark a footpath corner or open-home arrow. Plus is the headline totem — 27"–43" in LED or LCD, sized for the front gate of a premium listing. Billboard is the outdoor For Sale & Auction sign — 55"–86" in LED or LCD, sized to anchor a full 4–8 week campaign on the vendor's lawn. All three share the same docked-battery base and 36-month warranty.
Should I choose LED or LCD?
LCD heads use a smoked-glass front and deliver the deepest blacks and editorial contrast — best for shaded frontages, leafy courtyards and architectural homes. LED heads are self-emissive and direct-sun readable — best for open or north-facing streets and full-sun lawns. Curb Media supplies both panel types in every size; send us the listing address and we'll recommend the right panel on the quote.
Are the signs really untethered — no power on site?
Yes. Pointer and Plus arrive office-charged and run a full open-home Saturday on a single overnight charge — no cables, no generators, no on-site power. Billboard adds full-frame monocrystalline solar strips that trickle-charge the base on the vendor's lawn for the entire 4–8 week campaign, unattended. None of the three require mains power on site.
What warranty ships with each Curb Media unit?
36 months on the display head, the magnetic dock and the LiFePO₄ ballast base — across Pointer, Plus and Billboard. RCM, CE/FCC and UN38.3 compliance certificates ship with the first delivery.
