Alas, have you noticed that there are more and more advertising screens in the mall that are moving recently? The ground at the wedding scene can actually display the name of the bride and groom, and even the concert stage becomes a glowing ocean... These are actually rented LED screens! But then again, do many novices often encounter these problems when they want to rent LED screens: What should I do if I find that the screen is broken after paying the deposit? How much does it cost to temporarily expedite installation? Today I will break up my experiences and tell you about them.

1. The three most easiest areas to step on when renting LED screens

When I first entered the industry, I saw a screen rented by a customer on the day of the event - because the supplier did not do waterproofing, it turned out to be short-circuited when it rained. ​ ​Remember these three life-saving knowledge points​​：

1. ​​Pixel point detection​ ​: Don’t just sign when the screen is on, take a white picture and display it in full screen. Get close to 30 cm to find dark spots/highlights. If there are more than 3 bad spots per square meter, please change it.
2. ​​Brightness Trap​ ​: The indoor screen nominal 4000cd/m² may actually be only 2500. Remember to ask the supplier to use a photometer to measure it on site (normal indoor activities 2500-3500 is enough, outdoor activities are 5000+)
3. ​​Hide charges​ ​: Is the transportation fee calculated by kilometers or by lump-in? Do I need to bring my own scaffolding for lifting? All of these have to be written into the contract. Once a customer was charged double labor fees for temporary emergency installation.

2. How to choose specifications in different scenarios so as not to waste money

Last week, a friend who opened a milk tea shop asked me and wanted to put a menu screen in the store. As a result, the supplier recommended a P2.5 high-definition screen - this is completely a killer! ​ ​Give you a universal formula​​：
Viewing distance (meters) × 337 = Suitable pixel spacing (mm)
Take a chestnut:

• Store advertising (see 2 meters away from the customer station): 2×337=674→Just select the P6 screen, you can save 40% of the rent per square meter
• Press conference stage (the latest audience seat is 5 meters): 5×337=1685→P1.6 is sufficient
• Don't believe those who fool you "the higher the resolution, the better". It's like delivering takeaway with a sports car - money can't work

3. These contract terms must be held to the death

Last year, an event company was cheated. The screen was broken while building it. The supplier insisted that it was "artificial damage" and he had to pay the full amount. ​ ​These 4 points must be clarified in the contract​​：

1. Division of equipment damage liability: Who is responsible during transportation? How to calculate the breakage during installation?
2. Standby terms: When the main screen fails, the latest time for the standby to arrive at the site (it is recommended to write within 2 hours)
3. Technical support: Are there any resident engineers assigned to the event? How to contact if there is a sudden failure in the middle of the night?
4. The most ruthless one is here - requiring suppliers to provide inventory certificates for the same model of equipment to prevent them from temporarily getting low-end versions to make up the number

4. Unpopular but super practical rental skills

Do you know there is a way to rent called "wet rental"? That is to say, renting equipment with people and equipment, recently, a shopping mall used this trick for its anniversary celebration. ​ ​Three little-known tips for saving money​​：

• ​​Stocking off-season​ ​: March-April and September are the off-season for rent every year, and the price can be cut to 40% off the peak season.
• ​​Purchase order rental​ ​: Share the screen with other event parties at the same venue and share the cost equally (such as corporate press conferences in the morning and weddings in the evening)
• ​​Rent instead of purchasing​ ​: Some suppliers allow the accumulated rent within half a year to deduct equipment purchase payments, which is suitable for companies with long-term needs.

Once when drinking with an old supplier, he revealed an industry secret: In fact, 60% of rental disputes are due to unclear communication. For example, when a customer said he wanted a "high-definition screen", the result was that the regular screen used in the conference room was sent, while the customer actually wanted a concert-level. So the point is here——​ ​Must talk with photos of the use scene​ ​! Even the live pictures taken by a mobile phone can allow suppliers to accurately determine how brightness is needed and whether to do arc splicing.

It’s not difficult to rent an LED screen. The key is to find those who can provide full-process services, from on-site surveying to 24-hour on-site support, from anti-glare debugging to emergency backup plans. It’s like finding a marriage partner. It’s useless to be good-looking, and being able to take on things at critical moments is the king. Next time you go to inquire, you might as well ask directly: "If it suddenly rains heavily on our event, how quickly can you come and repair it?" "——This question can best test the supplier's real skills.
