If the Forth Screen is Mobile as accepted by wikipedia then the Fifth Screen is the next numerlogical screen. I encourage any feedback that this may encounter.

Nth Screen - hopeless !

The comment above suggests this is a neologism, creating a new term, rather than explaining an existing, notable one.

Fourth screen says "Sometimes known as 'Third Screen' ", illustrating the problem : no single standards body is controlling the numbering system !
Google turns up Video On iPad: Making Way for the Fifth Screen which is Fourth screen in Wikipedia terms !
Who says Cinema was the 1st Screen ? What about Kodachromes or Lantern slides ? Frescoes ie Sistine Chapel ceiling ? Cave paintings ?

Cinema was the first screen for the masses and we are talking about media screens and the masses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kkelsen (talk • contribs) 05:37, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the situation is hopeless. --195.137.93.171 (talk) 07:36, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

definition

"The Fifth Screen represents the combination of the World Wide Web and mobile 2G, 3G and 4G technologies or data delivered via physical uploads at screens placed in various environments."

That's a pretty narrow definition compared with Digital signage - there are many ways of updating the content without mobile www - "physical uploads" is an awkward term for transferring data !

Thanks let's fix that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kkelsen (talk • contribs) 05:39, 17 August 2011 (UTC) --195.137.93.171 (talk) 07:52, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Utility of the term

Who originated the term and to what purpose?
What insight does the concept of a "fifth screen" provide?
In which fields is the term used?
What is the contemporary opinion of people in those fields of the term (is it widespread, is it criticized, is it mostly a marketing term)?

As it is this article sees to be mostly original research. It might even be an original concept. In either case this article then ought to be nominated for deletion. Wikipedia articles have to be about topics that exist outside of the site and can only express opinions as the precis of expert/valid commentators.theBOBbobato (talk) 16:00, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What is the purpose of this page?

With the line "It is commonly called Digital signage," and a Digital signage page already existing, is it even necessary to have this page? If the page is actually necessary, I agree with other users - there needs to be a good and credible reference to the numbered screen system, or else an editing of the page to reflect that there isn't a consensus among experts.Jeffheo (talk) 02:31, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I redirected it to digital signage. I think it failed as a neologism and the article could be deleted (nearly all references are broken), but redirecting is good enough. Bhny (talk) 08:12, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
