Have you ever encountered this situation - the press conference is about to be opened in three days, and suddenly I found that the large LED screen on the venue is not enough? Last year, a technology company suffered a huge loss. The screen he rented temporarily suddenly blacked during rehearsal, and was finally forced to use a projector to save the scene. Today I will take you to find out the ways to rent large LED screens, and ensure that you will be able to avoid 80% of the pitfalls after reading this article.

1. Three major rental channels life and death situations

To give a real case: a music festival found a second-hand commercial screen rental, but 16 lights were executed on the day of the performance. Later I found out that these screens were old models five years ago, with less than half the nominal value. Nowadays, professional activities requireCheck the factory code of the equipment​, it’s the same as checking the car VIN code.

2. Five must-ask questions

1. ​​"How long does the screen work?"​​

   • Within 2000 hours: Qualified new machine (panel loss <3%)
   • More than 5000 hours: Aging machine (color deviation rate > 15%)
   • The best trick to test the machine: Use grayscale test chart to see if level 16 is layered

2. ​​"What to do on a rainy day?"​​

   • It is necessary to confirm the waterproof level: IP65 is the bottom line (outdoor screen requires IP67)
   • Key inspection location: box joints/power interface/signal line ports

3. ​​"Who will take the blame?"​

   • Transportation damage: Price insured + inspection and signing
   • Artificial damage: clarify the compensation standards (common traps: compensation for lamp beads in the whole box)
   • Natural damage: typhoon/hail and other force majeure clauses

4. ​​"How to prevent undercurrent diseases?"​​

   • Requires 48 hours of trial operation: Focus on measuring the temperature rise of full load
   • Essential detection tools: infrared thermal imager (check local overheating spots)

5. ​​"How to calculate temporary expedited?"​​

   • Price increase standard for emergencies (it is recommended not to exceed 30% of the contract price)
   • Alternate screen calling mechanism (at least 10% margin)

Last year, a certain auto show fell into the fourth item - no full load test was performed, and the result was 20% of the screen was overheated on the media day. Now professional lease contracts will be stated​Continuous stress test 72 hours​Terms.

3. Price and moisture squeezing manual

1. Disassemble the quotation order

• ​​Reasonable composition​：
  Equipment rental (50%) + transportation (15%) + insurance (5%) + labor (20%) + consumables (10%)
• ​​Destroy the customer signal​：
  • Electricity bills are separately listed (normally should be included in the rent)
  • Charge by pixel point (30% of the area is calculated in disguise)
  • The so-called "technical debugging fee" (pure nonsense)

2. Bargaining gold nodes

• ​March after the Spring Festival​: Off-season of the event (maximum discount can reach 30% off)
• ​Equipment Update Season​: June-July (old price)
• ​Early morning hours​: 10 pm - 8 am (using idle schedule)

There was a ruthless customer who specially chose to bargain on rainy days - because he couldn't rent outdoor screens, he really cut 25% of the fee. But remember to buy enough insurance and don’t save a small amount of money to lose big money.

4. The private talk of a ten-year-old cannon

1. ​Don't believe in "the lowest price on the entire network"​: An exhibition company saved 20,000 yuan in price comparison, but spent 80,000 yuan more to process mosaic screens
2. ​​The contract should be as thin as the screws​: The most tricky case I have ever seen - because I didn't write it clearly, I was robbed 6,000 on the scene
3. ​​The deposit payment is of particular importance​：
   • 30% deposit + 60% equipment payment + 10% final payment
   • Must leave public accounts (personal transfers are not protected by law)

The new plan I am doing recently for an international film festival is quite interesting—​Modular leasing​, what shape do you want to play on the spot. The curved screen set in the test saves 40% of the transportation cost compared to traditional leasing, which is probably more popular.

After all, renting a large LED screen is the same as renting a house. You must not only see the surface clearly, but also understand the inside clearly.
