1. What are Rental LED Screens?

A rental LED screen is a type of screen used for live performances and artistic activities. It is also known as a hire LED display. Manufacturers’ definition of rental LED display is the inverse of fixed installation led display and is narrowed to refer to such LED display with a very lightweight, slim, and sleek panel, support fast assemble and disassemble, and could be removable.

For example, the LED display for the concert, mobile stage background, and music festival where the LED display is there for a few days or a specific period is removed and transported to another location for new events.

2. Classification of Rental LED Screens

Our Rental LED Screens are separated into indoor and outdoor rental LED screens depending on the application conditions.

For the same series of Rental LED screens, indoor and outdoor variants typically share the same panel design and can be mounted on the same screen.

  • Indoor

Indoor rental LED screen is usually used for indoor events like exhibitions, award ceremonies, weddings, conference rooms, etc.

There is no need for high brightness or waterproofing on the LED screen. However, our led products must be qualified to deliver the high-definition image quality and exceptional visual performance.

  • Outdoor

Rental outdoor led screens are frequently used at outdoor events such as sporting venues, concerts, and music festivals.

High brightness and waterproofing are requirements for the LED screen. The pixel pitch is not a significant consideration when selecting a screen for an outdoor event due to the viewing distance. Instead, stability and durability are given more weight. The market’s present demand is for 3.9mm and 4.8mm, although lower pixel pitch will undoubtedly become more popular shortly.

It is worth noting that the outdoor rental screens can also be used indoors; simply adjust the brightness. On the other hand, indoor rental screens can only be used indoors.

3. Why do we choose Rental LED Screens?

Compared with traditional fixed screens, Rental LED screens have several benefits. Let me analyze it for you from the perspective of the product itself and the market.

(1) lightweight

The main advantage of LED rental screens is their lightweight and quick lock. It is simple and fast to disassemble and reassemble.

The advantages of a rental LED screen include quick assembly and disassembly, as well as easy transportation. Each exhibition has a relatively short time, and the LED screen can display the new products through the eye-catching dynamic display effect. 

  • Performance

The rental LED screen has the advantage of customizing the size. It can be made at any length based on the number of people attending the speech and the stage size. The LED display is used as the background to enlarge the speaker and PPT on the speech stage, allowing the audience to be viewed in a larger format far away from the stage. The audience sees what the speaker needs to present.

6. Factors to consider before investing in Rental LED Screens

Before taking any action, here are 3 essential things you need to consider.

(1) Lighting, sound, and stage support should also be considered when purchasing a screen. You also require a truck for transporting at the same time.

(2) You should look into the precise cost of the local rental screen, the variances in prices between different cities, and the distance, size, venue, and rental period.

(3) The cost to rent second-hand rental LED screens. You can make future long-term investments with the help of this understanding.

7. How easy is it to assemble a Rental LED Screen? 

Self-installing LED displays is a significant saving for buyers who purchase LED displays. With our many years of experience in the LED digital display field, we found that most of our customers want to save money by installing LED displays themselves.

8. How is the pricing of a Rental LED Screen determined?

The cost of a rental LED screen is based on many different factors. 

  • The venues

The cost and strength of outdoor screens are higher than those used indoors. They resist UV rays, intense brightness, weather, and wetness.

  • The size

The price of a rental LED screen will increase with its size. The bigger the size, the higher the price.

9. Tips for choosing or purchasing a Rental LED Screen

Selecting a rental LED screen is not a trivial matter. Here are 6 things you need to know about choosing the right product. 

  • Know your budget

When renting or purchasing a rental LED screen, you must determine the price budget and contact the most suitable one among the various manufacturers.

  • Consider environmental factors

Where do you put the LED screen? Indoor or outdoor? The type of LED you choose depends on your venue. And choosing outdoor LED screens will increase your budget for three reasons. 

First, outdoor screens must be more significant to ensure good visibility from a distance.

Second, they must be prepared to withstand various weather conditions, such as rain and lightning.

Finally, they must be waterproof and bright enough to make still images and videos visible even in direct sunlight.

  • Choose the right size

Choose your size based on the location and purpose you’ll be using it for—the price increases as the size increases.

The most common and standard aspect ratio for mainstream videos and displays is 16:9. For example, The aspect ratio of 16:9 is ideal for your LED screen.

  • Avoid areas that are excessively bright or rainy
  • Place your screen on a flat surface at all times
  • Do not use abrasive liquids to clean the screen

11. Packaging of Rental LED Screen

Generally, there is 2 rental LED display packaging types: wooden cases and flight cases. I will briefly discuss the differences between these 2 packaging methods.

  • Wooden cases

The wooden case is a standard fixed installation composed of large wooden boards bound together and lacking movable wheels at the bottom. Furthermore, the wooden box is typically a one-time package that cannot be reused.

  • Flight cases

Due to the following benefits and features, flight boxes are now being used for packaging by an increasing number of LED manufacturers:

(1)The surface’s material and color can be modified to meet our needs.

(2) Molds are needed in the manufacturing process for conventional packaging boxes. 

(3)Utilizing the air box can save mold costs, and the size can be altered to meet our screens’ packing needs.

(4)The LED air box includes wheels at the bottom, making it easier to move and more maneuverable. There are partitions inside the air box, which are covered with shock-proof materials to safeguard better our outdoor rental LED display.

There are two other categories of flight cases: wooden flight cases and plastic flight cases. And there is no difference between them other than how they look; the particular decision relies on your preference.

12. The distinction between some standard sizes of Rental LED Displays

To get the right product, you need to choose the size based on where and for what purpose you will be using it. The most common rental LED display sizes are 500x500mm and 500x1000mm single LED cabinets.

  • 500x500mm

The price of this size is higher, and considering the issue of floor height, this size is more suitable for indoor use. If your budget allows, buying the 500x500mm size is best to add a height option when building large LED screens.

  • 500x1000mm

Compared to the 500x500mm size, this size is cheaper, and the site height does not affect it.

The application effect of these 2 sizes is the same. If you are a person who knows LED displays, then you can also use these two sizes in combination.

  • Other sizes

Other typical sizes include 480x480mm, 512x512mm, 960x960mm, and 576x576mm, etc.

Any size may generally be made to order for you, but the following qualities must be present:

(1) The box must be light 

(2) A plug-in connection must be easy to connect

(3) The ability to lock rapidly

13. Common external devices for Rental LED Screens

Cameras, computers, and loudspeakers are the most commonly connected external devices for rental LED displays. The number of connections is entirely up to you. However, please communicate with the manufacturer in advance if you require more.

Another critical piece of the device is the video processor. It is specially designed for LED display, a high-performance image processing and control device for full-color LED display. The main functions of the video processor are as follows:

  • Image scaling

The LED video processor can scale the image and output any screen size, which can be completely mapped to the LED screen and is not affected by the resolution.

  • Signal switching

It can connect multiple signals simultaneously, realize the connection and management of various movements, and flexibly switch between calls.

  • Image quality improvements

  • Multi-screen processing

In many cases, an LED screen must display multiple identical or different pictures. The LED video processor has a multi-screen processing function, which can flexibly meet the display needs.

If you need to input multiple signals at the same time, be sure to prepare a video processor.

You need to choose the best provider to find the best goods. The ideal LED supplier will walk you through the procedure and assist you in determining which option is best for you. There are numerous methods for finding the providers, mainly divided into local search and online search.
