What TV Should I Use for SignageTube Cloud? Let’s Break It Down.

So you’re ready to light up your space with cloud digital signage using SignageTube.com? Awesome. Whether it’s for your shop window, office lobby, school hallway, or even your living room (hey, we don’t judge), the big question is:

“What kind of TV or device do I need to run SignageTube Cloud?”

Spoiler alert: it’s easier than you think.

Android TV vs. Google TV: What’s the Difference?

Let’s start with the basics. Our Cloud platform runs on Android, which means you’ll want a device that supports Android TV or Google TV.

• Android TV is the original smart TV platform from Google.
• Google TV is the newer version—same engine under the hood, just a slicker interface and more content-focused features.

Both give you access to the Google Play Store, which is where you’ll find the SignageTube app. No extra boxes, no complicated setup—just download and go.

TV Brands That Work Well with SignageTube Cloud

Here’s a list of popular TV brands that offer models with Android TV or Google TV built-in:

• Philips – Known for Android TV support.
• TCL – Great value, and many models run Google TV.
• Sony – Especially the BRAVIA series. Reliable and smooth.
• Hisense – Offers both Android and Google TV (just avoid the VIDAA-only models).
• Sharp – Some models run Android TV—check the specs.
• Nokia – Yes, they make TVs now. And yes, they run Android TV.
• Toshiba – Select models come with Android TV pre-installed.

🛒 Heads-up: Not every model from these brands is Android-based. Look for “Android TV” or “Google TV” in the product description. If it doesn’t say it, assume it’s not compatible.

Why Android-Based TVs Are Perfect for SignageTube Cloud

• Easy app install via Google Play Store

• An Android TV box

Just plug it into your HDMI port, install the app, and you’re good to go.
