Acrylic polymer screens are available as lightweight, rigid screens or heavier rigid screens, which can be situated on a stand near retail and office windows or inside stores, for instance at point of sale. Screens can also be suspended from the ceiling, making them ideal in shopping malls and transport terminals or at concert and music events. They available as high gain or high contrast and come in sizes from 50-inch upwards.

An estate agent or holiday company, for instance, advertising in their window, can use a plasma screen and run a PowerPoint presentation to advertise services. Using a rolling poster system, such as Sedao, which lets a company add their own professional advertisements, house or holiday descriptions, they are able to advertise their services 24/7 so that passers-by can view, even when the store is closed.

Alternatively, an acrylic rear projection screen, used with projector will cost significantly less than a plasma or LCD screen. Also, the acrylic screen is obtainable in sizes much larger than plasma screens. Obviously, the cost of replacing projector lamps has to be taken into consideration, depending on how many hours a day the screen is likely to be used.
