Dummy TV Bulk Buying & Pricing Guide for Furniture Showrooms

Furniture retailers, interior designers, and professional staging companies often need realistic televisions to complete their display environments without installing working electronic devices.

For a single showroom, the purchasing decision may involve only one or two display models. For a furniture chain, property developer or commercial staging project, the requirements can include multiple screen sizes, coordinated finishes, customised artwork and deliveries to several locations.

This is where a professional dummy TV supplier becomes more than a source of individual products.

YIJIA Props supplies non-functional Prop TVs for furniture showrooms, model homes, commercial interiors, exhibitions and visual staging projects.

Our display models are designed to recreate the appearance of televisions without electronic playback, power connections or operating software.

This guide explains how dummy TV pricing works, which specifications influence the final quotation, and what procurement teams should prepare before placing a bulk order.

1. How Much Does a Dummy TV Cost?

There is no single universal price for a professional dummy TV.

The final unit price depends on the selected screen size, product configuration, finish, quantity, customisation requirements and purchasing terms.

A compact display model intended for a bedroom setting will have different material, packaging and shipping requirements from a 98-inch Prop TV designed for a large furniture showroom.

A small sample order may also have different pricing from a larger project order because preparation, packaging and delivery costs are spread across different quantities.

For accurate comparison, buyers should request a quotation based on a clearly defined specification.

The most useful starting information includes:

• Required screen sizes
• Quantity for each size
• Preferred frame finish and screen artwork
• Wall-mounted or tabletop configuration
• Delivery country and postal code
• Target delivery date
• Preferred shipping or Incoterms arrangement

YIJIA Props can review these details and prepare a project-specific quotation based on available product configurations and supply requirements.

2. Six Factors That Influence Bulk Dummy TV Pricing

Understanding the main cost drivers helps buyers compare suppliers on a consistent basis.

Screen Size

Screen size is one of the most important pricing variables.

Larger display models generally require more material, different packaging arrangements, and additional consideration during transport and handling.

YIJIA’s professional Prop TV collection includes options ranging from compact display sizes to large-format models intended for expansive media walls and furniture installations.

For example, a 55-inch Prop TV may be suitable for standard living-room and apartment settings.

A 98-inch Prop TV may be considered for flagship furniture displays, luxury model homes and oversized entertainment furniture.

The right choice depends on the actual room proportions, not simply the largest available screen.

Order Quantity

A single sample, a small showroom order, and a larger furniture retail programme may require different commercial arrangements.

For bulk orders, providing a complete size-and-quantity schedule allows the supplier to evaluate pricing more accurately.

Buyers should specify quantities by model rather than provide only the total number of units.

Product Finish and Appearance

Frame appearance, surface treatment, and other model-specific details can influence the final specification.

A consistent finish may be particularly important for retailers reproducing similar display concepts across multiple stores.

Confirm the actual appearance of the proposed model before approval.

Static Screen Artwork

Non-functional Prop TVs use static visual presentations rather than electronic video playback.

Depending on the model and project requirements, screen artwork can be selected or discussed for customisation.

For furniture groups with established visual merchandising guidelines, coordinating the screen artwork across multiple locations can support a more consistent presentation.

Custom artwork requirements should be included in the quotation request.

Display Configuration

A wall-mounted installation may require different preparation from a tabletop arrangement.

Confirm the intended mounting method, compatible hardware, overall model dimensions and support requirements.

Installation accessories and specialised configurations should be identified separately where applicable.

Packing and Delivery

Packing requirements, carton dimensions, destination, shipment volume and delivery terms all affect the total landed cost.

Large-format props may require different handling or protective packing from smaller display models.

For international projects, buyers should distinguish between product price and delivered project cost.

3. Understanding Sample Orders vs Bulk Orders

For professional purchasing teams, a representative sample can be useful before committing to a larger quantity.

A sample allows the design and procurement teams to review the model’s physical appearance, proportions, static screen image, and intended display configuration.

For a multi-store project, a practical approval process may involve:

1. Shortlisting suitable sizes and finishes.
2. Reviewing product photographs and specifications.
3. Confirming sample availability and sample pricing.
4. Evaluating a representative display arrangement.
5. Approving the product specification.
6. Confirming the final quantities and delivery schedule.

Sample pricing and international courier costs should be confirmed separately.

A sample approval does not automatically establish the final bulk price. The larger order should receive its own quotation based on agreed specifications and quantities.

4. Choosing the Right Sizes for Furniture Showrooms

A furniture showroom may need several TV sizes to suit different room categories.

Using the same display model everywhere is not always the most effective approach.

A practical preliminary selection might include:

Room Setting	Sizes to Consider	Typical Application
Compact rooms	32–50 inches	Bedrooms, apartments and narrow media cabinets
Core living rooms	55–65 inches	Sofa collections and standard entertainment furniture
Spacious living rooms	70–75 inches	Wider media cabinets and premium furniture displays
Flagship displays	85–98 inches	Large media walls and expansive room settings

These are design starting points, not fixed installation rules.

Before ordering, use our Prop TV Size Guide to compare approximate screen dimensions.

A nominal television size refers to the diagonal measurement of the display area. Confirm the actual width, height, depth and support configuration of the selected prop before making installation decisions.

5. Bulk Dummy TVs for Multi-Store Furniture Showroom Projects

For a retailer operating multiple stores, the purchasing decision extends beyond individual unit prices.

Procurement, Store Planning and Visual Merchandising teams may need to coordinate product specifications across several locations.

A structured display programme can help simplify this process.

Instead of ordering independently for each showroom, the project team can define approved product groups.

Compact Living Display Package

Smaller Prop TVs selected for bedroom furniture, urban apartments and compact media units.

Core Living Display Package

Medium-to-large displays used with standard sofas, entertainment units and contemporary living-room furniture.

Premium Showroom Display Package

Larger models selected for expansive media walls, flagship collections and statement furniture installations.

These are suggested planning categories, not fixed product bundles or published package prices.

A project schedule should specify the actual model, size, finish, quantity, and destination for every participating store.

For projects involving several locations, our showroom display solutions explain how coordinated prop electronics can support repeatable room-setting specifications.

A representative display should be reviewed before the specification is applied more widely.

6. Comparing EXW, FOB and DDP for International Dummy TV Orders

International buyers should evaluate quotations using clearly defined delivery terms.

The purchase price of the display models may represent only one part of the total project cost.

EXW — Ex Works

Under EXW terms, the seller makes the goods available at the agreed location, while the buyer takes on extensive responsibilities for collection, transportation and related formalities.

Buyers should confirm the exact named place and applicable export arrangements before choosing this term.

FOB — Free on Board

FOB is commonly used for appropriate sea shipments.

The quotation should identify the named port and clarify the agreed responsibilities for export handling and loading.

For containerised cargo, the suitable Incoterm should be confirmed with the logistics provider because FOB is not ideal for every container handover arrangement.

DDP — Delivered Duty Paid

A DDP quotation can provide a broader delivered-price arrangement when the seller is able to take on the required import responsibilities.

However, buyers should confirm the named destination, customs arrangements, taxes, unloading responsibilities and any exclusions in the written quotation.

DDP availability depends on the destination country and shipment circumstances.

Compare Like with Like

A lower EXW unit price does not necessarily mean a lower total delivered cost than a different quotation.

For a meaningful comparison, review:

• Product price and currency
• Included packing and accessories
• Incoterm and named place
• Freight and insurance arrangements
• Customs duties and applicable taxes
• Receiving and delivery requirements
• Estimated dispatch and transit timing

Final shipping arrangements should be confirmed against the actual order and destination.

7. How to Estimate Shipping Requirements for a Bulk Order

Bulk orders should be planned using actual packing information rather than a fixed number of televisions per container.

The loading quantity depends on carton dimensions, packaged weight, protective materials, stacking restrictions, and the mix of product sizes.

A shipment of mostly compact Prop TVs will have a different loading profile from an order containing large-format 85-inch and 98-inch models.

Before choosing sea freight or another shipping method, request:

• Packing dimensions for each model
• Gross weight per packed unit
• Quantity by product size
• Total shipment volume
• Any stacking or handling restrictions
• Destination and receiving arrangements

For mixed-size orders, the shipment plan should be prepared from the complete packing list.

The final 20-foot or 40-foot container loading arrangement should be confirmed using actual cargo dimensions and safe loading requirements.

8. Dummy TVs for Home Staging, Exhibitions and Film Sets

Bulk demand is not limited to furniture retailers.

Non-functional display televisions can also be used in model homes, residential sales galleries, exhibition interiors and selected film or television production settings.

For home staging, a Prop TV can complete a living-room composition without requiring a working television.

For exhibitions, non-functional models may be suitable for temporary displays that do not need electronic content.

For film and television production, prop suitability depends on camera distance, visible details, reflections, screen appearance, and the requirements of the scene.

A non-functional Prop TV cannot play moving images or provide interactive screen content.

Productions requiring active or changing screen imagery should plan for an appropriate working display, screen replacement or other production method.

When requesting a quotation for film or photography use, provide reference images, camera requirements and the expected shooting schedule.

9. What Should Procurement Teams Ask a Dummy TV Supplier?

Choosing a professional display supplier involves more than comparing unit prices.

Before confirming an order, consider the following questions.

Product specifications: What are the actual overall dimensions, materials, weight, and finish of each model?

Appearance: Can the supplier provide clear product photographs and confirm the static screen artwork?

Installation: Which wall-mounted or tabletop configurations are available, and what hardware is required?

Sample approval: Is a representative sample available for evaluation?

Bulk availability: What quantities and model combinations can be supplied for the proposed project?

Packing: What are the packed dimensions and handling requirements?

Delivery: Which shipping arrangements are available for the destination?

Project communication: Can the supplier work from a room-by-room or store-by-store display schedule?

These questions help make supplier comparisons more meaningful and reduce uncertainty before a larger commitment.

10. How to Request an Accurate Bulk Dummy TV Quote

The fastest way to obtain a useful project quotation is to share a short specification rather than request a generic price list.

A simple enquiry can include:

Company and project: Furniture showroom, property development, exhibition or creative production.

Product requirements: TV sizes, finishes, configurations and static screen artwork.

Quantities: Units required for each model, including quantities per location.

Delivery: Country, city, postcode and whether delivery is to one warehouse or several stores.

Timeline: Required arrival date or project installation schedule.

Commercial terms: Preferred currency and shipping arrangement, if already known.

Sample needs: Whether a representative unit is required before a bulk order.

If exact dimensions or model choices are still undecided, send a reference photograph of the proposed room setting.

YIJIA Props can review the available information and discuss suitable product options and quotation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does YIJIA publish one fixed wholesale price for every Dummy TV?

No single price applies to every model or project. Quotations depend on size, configuration, quantities, customisation and delivery terms.

Is there a minimum order quantity for bulk Dummy TVs?

Minimum quantities should be confirmed for the selected model and project requirements. Do not assume the same MOQ applies to every size or custom configuration.

Can I order different Prop TV sizes together?

Mixed-size project requirements can be discussed. Provide the quantity for each model so availability, packing and delivery arrangements can be reviewed.

Can YIJIA provide customised static screen images?

Custom screen artwork can be discussed according to model availability and project requirements. Supply reference imagery or approved artwork specifications when requesting a quote.

Can I request a sample before placing a large order?

Yes, sample availability can be discussed. Confirm the selected model, destination, sample cost and shipping arrangement before ordering.

How many Dummy TVs fit in a 40-foot container?

There is no reliable universal quantity. It depends on actual packed dimensions, weight, stacking restrictions and the mix of models. A shipment-specific loading plan is required.

Can Dummy TVs be used on film and television sets?

Yes, where non-functional devices are suitable for the scene. Confirm the required appearance, camera angles, screen artwork and handling conditions before selecting a model.

How long does international delivery take?

Production preparation and shipping times depend on the products, quantities, destination and transport method. Request a project-specific schedule rather than relying on a universal delivery promise.
