The invention discloses a timing startup method for a display terminal. The display terminal is in communication connection with a server. The method comprises the following steps that: obtaining timing startup time set by the server, and analyzing the timing startup time; monitoring current clock time, and judging whether the current clock time achieves the set startup time according to the analyzed timing startup time or not; and if the current clock time achieves the set startup time, controlling the display terminal to be started. The invention also discloses a display terminal and a computer readable storage medium. By use of the technical scheme provided by the invention, the problem of long time consumption when an existing display terminal sets or revises the timing startup time is solved.
