The USB stick: simple and free
You prepare your designs, copy them to a USB stick, plug it into the screen once, and the screen plays them on a loop — even after you remove the stick. No computer, no network, no monthly cost. The screens can even follow a daily time schedule you set on the screen itself.
A small server in your office: update from your desk
A compact Windows mini-PC (or any Windows computer you already have) runs Samsung's free MagicInfo software. From then on, anyone you authorize can change what's on the screens from a web browser at their desk — upload the new design, click publish, and both screens update within minutes. The software is free for up to 25 screens, so it grows with you.
What you'd need
It doesn't even need to run around the clock — the screens keep whatever they were given and keep playing it even if the PC is off; the PC only needs to be on when you're publishing something new. (Leaving it on 24/7 is simply more convenient if different people publish at different times.)
A small router setting that makes sure the screens never "lose" the server. We set this up for you; it takes minutes. The PC's own firewall also needs opening once so the screens can reach it — on a company-managed PC, your IT team may need to do that part.
The cloud: update from anywhere
If you want to change the screens from home, from another branch, or from your phone on a trip, the management needs to live on the internet rather than in your office. Two ways to get there:
Nothing to buy or maintain
No PC, no setup, just a subscription — for two screens, roughly SAR 1,000–1,200 per year (about €113 per screen per year at typical reseller pricing, with remote management included). You log into a website from anywhere and manage every screen. This is also where Samsung itself is heading: they're phasing out the self-hosted option for new customers after 2026, so cloud is the future-proof path.
There's a free 60-day trial for up to 3 screens, no card required — a genuinely risk-free way to try it, though the trial doesn't include the remote-management features. One thing we check before promising it: Samsung hasn't formally launched VXT for Saudi Arabia yet and payment is card-only, so we confirm billing works for you via the trial signup first.
No per-screen subscription
We rent a small Windows server on the internet and install the free MagicInfo software there. No per-screen subscription, but the server rental has its own monthly cost, and an internet-facing server needs someone to keep it updated and secured. Worth it mainly for larger fleets.
