Indoor Rental LED Display Pricing

Generally speaking, for renting displays, the cost will be different based on the pixel pitch, brightness, location and so on. Thus, there is no a fixed price for displays from different providers.
One probable price here can be provided to you – $40 – $70 per square foot of screen space. For example, if you want to rent a LED screen in 18’x10′, then the price range will be:

Choos the Right Display
Let us discuss about this factor still from consideration of price. What are factors of rental LED screen that will influence the final pricing? Figure out this, you can choose the right products after considering these elements.
(1) Pixel Pitch
In general, the smaller the pixel pitch, the higher the resolution, and the clearer the imags, and the higher the unit price.
One of the golden rule for balancing your cost and the pixel pitch is choosing the right resolution based on your specific rules. For example, if you have a screen set on the side of highway, the pixel pitch does not need to be small as the viewing distance is long.
(2) IP rating
This is the index about the protection ability of the display. Written as IP (number 1)(number 2), where the first number is a measurement of protection from solid objects and the second number is protection from liquids.
For indoor rental LED screens, IP43 can be enough if there are no other special situation.
(3) Aspect ratio
The standard aspect ratio is 16:9, so, what is the meaning and how it will effect the play effect?
The conception is very easy to understand. Let’s take some example, a screen with a 1:1 aspect ratio will have the width equal to the height. A 2:1 aspect ratio means the screen width is double of its height. Now it is clear, right? A 16:9 display means the weight/height is 16/9.
So, what is the influences of aspect ratio will have on our displaying content? If you plan on displaying full-screen 16:9 content, then your video wall will need to be 16:9 as well.
For instance, if your video wall is 960×540 16:9, then you can also make display files at 1280×720, 1920×1080, etc. That is, the aspect ratio of content should be compatible with that of the screen.
If you have a customized size screen, then you may need to adjust the aspect ratio of your content to meet the screen size proportionately.
When you want a customized size screen, do not forget to take account in the potential fees you may cost in the post-production.
(4) Service time
In common, the cost of the first day will be the most expensive, and then it will decrease in the consecutive days. The longer the time you rent, the higher the cost will be. But there may be a discount if you rent the display for a comparative long time.
(5) Installation
You may need some construction tools to install the rental LED display. More complex the installation and more intense the timeframe, more expensive the labour cost.
(6) Size
It is obvious the cost has a positive correlation with screen size. The larger the LED size, the higher the LED wall rental price. And the large LED screen can achieve simultaneous mass viewing that other kinds of screens such as TV and projectors can not achieve.
Choose the Right Company
Nowadays, the Internet technology is advanced and you can get a long list of suppliers if you just search on the Internet. But, how to choose the one who is really reliable and can offer you good products and services? Why not estimate a supplier from factors we list below:
a. Services
First, the professional technical services that can guide you potential technical problems.
Second, onsite service. The renting rate often includes the cost of a professional onsite staff to help to set up, operate and tear down the screen.
Third, pre-sale services. The company should provide you a mature and detailed plan for the LED screen rental projects.
Service can be one of the key factors for you to decide whether to choose this company. Although operating a LED screen is not a complex process, but all-around service can definitely save you lots time and energy, also budget.
b. Qualification
This can be divided into two aspects:
On the one hand, the company’s special experience in the type of screen you needs. We all know there are various types of LED screens on the market such as fixed LED display, rental LED display, sport LED display, flexible LED display, double-sided LED display, and so forth. A company have done a large scale work seems to always be the best fit, right?
However, sometimes the things will not go like this. Choosing a company who has many special project experiences in the types of events that you will hold can be a safe action.
On the other hand, certification. How can you get their certification and judge the authentication?
First, check the industry certification. If the company has its own official website, you may find them on the website.
Second, ask for the photos or videos of the production process and factory. If condition permits, you can travel the workshop onsite, and this will be better.
Third, search for the reputation of it. You can search it online to see what can be found.
c. Other equipment
Except from the screen itself, corollary equipment are also deserved to be taken into account. For example, LED video processor, LED sender and other accessories.
This accessories also have great impact on the final price and display effect, and can be as important as the screen itself.
d. Delivery performance
Choose the company who has adequate delivery performance, and ensure the transportation and package are quick and safe. You can ask for how many days the screen can be delivered to you before making the deal.
e. Products and price
Nobody will ignore these two factors when selecting goods, so what can we think about them?
One thing to inform that the quality sometimes is not easy to detect only by your naked eyes – even many products on the market seems to have the same quality, but the production process and quality-control can be varied from each other a lot.
To avoid choosing such “gift-wrapped” LED display, you can ask the LED supplier for videos and photos of their workshop, productive process and quality control inspection.
And do not choose products that have prices lower than the market price too much. In general, the quality and price have positive correlation. And there is an old saying goes: “the world will never be a free lunch.”
