Why Daktronics

The Best LED Display — Backed by 30+ Years of Local Experience

The initial cost of the Daktronics display ordinarily is more than some of the other displays on the market, but that investment typically pays dividends as the display ages. We've been selling and servicing LED displays since the early 90s — and we've seen firsthand how cheap signs fail while Daktronics displays just keep running.

With over 50 Daktronics displays installed across Northeast Florida, nobody knows this product — or this market — better than we do. We don't just sell you a sign. We become your long-term partner for content, service, and support.

What Makes Daktronics Different

Built for Reliability. Designed for Simplicity.

Every feature of a Daktronics LED display is engineered to minimize your total cost of ownership and maximize uptime — year after year.

Verizon LTE Modem — Lifetime Data Plan

Every Daktronics display we install comes with a built-in Verizon LTE modem and a lifetime data plan included at no extra charge. No WiFi setup, no network configuration, no monthly fees — ever. Your sign connects immediately and stays connected.

Venus Control Suite — Cloud-Based Software

Update your LED sign from any device, anywhere in the world, at any time — using Daktronics' Venus Control Suite. Schedule messages in advance, run promotions, update your hours. The software is intuitive, powerful, and includes a lifetime license with no subscription fees.

Silicone-Sealed Components

All internal components are sealed in silicone — making the display essentially waterproof. Daktronics has tested these units submerged underwater and frozen in ice. In Florida's humidity, afternoon thunderstorms, and salt air, this matters enormously. Competitive products simply cannot match this standard.

Louvered Panel Design — Superior Contrast

Daktronics uses a patented louvered panel design that blocks direct sunlight from hitting the LED surface. The result is dramatically better contrast and readability in bright Florida sunshine — even at midday. Other manufacturers' displays wash out; Daktronics stays crisp and legible.

Automatic Dimming

An integrated ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display's brightness throughout the day — bright in full sun, dimmed at dusk and night. Your sign is always perfectly legible without being obnoxiously bright. This feature also extends LED lifespan by reducing unnecessary power draw.

Local Support & Content Management

With 50+ Daktronics displays installed locally, we have unmatched familiarity with these products in the Northeast Florida environment. We offer ongoing content management services for businesses that want someone else to handle their messaging — and responsive local service when you need it.

The Investment That Pays for Itself

An LED electronic message center is one of the few sign investments that directly and measurably drives sales. Studies consistently show that businesses installing LED signs see revenue increases of 15–150% — because the ability to change your message in real time means you can promote your best offers exactly when and where your customers are looking.

Run breakfast specials at 7am, lunch deals at 11am, and evening promotions at 5pm — all on automatic schedules, set once and running all week. Advertise community events, hiring announcements, or seasonal promotions without printing a single banner.

50+ Local Installs. Nobody Knows This Product Better.

When you purchase a Daktronics LED display through us, you're not just getting the industry's best hardware. You're getting a local team that knows your display, knows your location, and will be here for the life of your sign.

Galaxy GT6x — high-rise & close viewing

FAQ

Daktronics LED signs, answered.

The questions Jacksonville business owners, school administrators, and church boards ask before buying an LED display.

How much does a Daktronics LED sign cost in Jacksonville?

Daktronics LED message centers range from roughly $20,000 to over $100,000 installed, depending on the display series (GS6 vs. GT6), pixel pitch, full-color vs. monochrome, dimensions, and whether the LED is paired with a new monument or pylon. CG Signs provides a complete itemized quote covering the display, the cabinet or monument, installation, electrical, permitting, and the Venus Control Suite software setup. Request a free quote →

What's the difference between Daktronics GS6 and GT6x displays?

The Galaxy GS6 is our most popular display for monument and pylon signs — patented louvered module design for industry-leading contrast in direct Florida sunshine, available in 15.85mm, 19.8mm, and 26.4mm pixel pitches. The GT6x is the choice for high-rise installs, large-format displays, or close-viewing locations — photo-quality graphics and video with 6mm, 8mm, or 10mm pixel pitches.

Does the LED sign need WiFi or a network connection?

No. Every Daktronics display we install comes with a built-in Verizon LTE modem and a lifetime data plan included at no extra charge. No WiFi setup, no network configuration, no monthly fees. Your sign connects automatically and stays connected for the life of the display.

How long does it take to permit and install a Daktronics LED sign?

Most LED display projects in Jacksonville run 8 to 14 weeks from approval to installation. Design and engineering take 1–2 weeks, permitting through the City of Jacksonville or applicable county takes 3–6 weeks (LED message centers often require special-exception review), Daktronics manufacturing takes 4–6 weeks, and installation completes in one to two days.

Can a Daktronics LED display be added to an existing monument or pylon sign?

In many cases, yes. CG Signs evaluates the existing structure's load capacity, electrical service, and cabinet dimensions to determine whether a retrofit makes sense. If the existing structure isn't a good candidate, we can design a new monument or pylon engineered around the LED.

Will the display work in direct Florida sunlight?

Yes. Daktronics uses a patented louvered panel design that blocks direct sunlight from hitting the LED surface, producing dramatically better contrast and readability than competitive products even at midday. An integrated ambient light sensor auto-dims the display at dusk and night so it's never obnoxiously bright.

Does CG Signs manage content for our LED sign?

Yes — we offer ongoing content management services for businesses that want someone else to handle their messaging. You provide the schedule, promotions, and announcements; we build the graphics and load them into Venus Control Suite. We also train your team to manage the display in-house if you prefer that route.
