Dual Screen EPOS Terminals: Why a Customer Display Pays for Itself

30 Oct 2026

A dual screen EPOS terminal has a second, customer-facing display alongside the main operator screen. It is one of the cheapest upgrades you can make at the till – and one of the most effective.

Benefits of a customer display

  • Transparency – customers see each item and price as it is rung up, so fewer disputes and refunds.
  • Faster payment – customers have the total ready before the card machine is presented.
  • Promotions and upsells – show offers, loyalty messages or meal deals while customers wait.
  • Brand presence – your logo and colours at the point of sale.
  • Accuracy for weighed goods – customers can see weight and price when you sell by weight.

Integrated vs separate customer displays

An integrated customer display mounts to the back of the EPOS terminal and is powered from it, so there are no extra stands or messy cables. A separate monitor gives more flexibility on position but takes up more counter space.

HiStone EPOS terminals with a customer display option

HiStone HK568 / HK568U

The HK568 supports an optional 10.1″ (1280 x 800) or 15.6″ (1920 x 1080) second display, in touch or non-touch, plus a 12V output and HDMI to drive it.

HiStone HK788

Touch or non-touch customer display?

Non-touch is fine for showing totals and adverts. Choose touch if customers will sign, enter loyalty details, tip or confirm orders on the screen.

Need a separate screen?

For bigger customer-facing screens or menu boards, see our touch screen monitors and Hisense digital signage.
