In today’s dynamic world, flexibility is essential, especially when you are organizing an event and need everything to run smoothly. Renting TVs by the day has become a practical and versatile solution for different needs: from corporate meetings to one-off presentations.

If you are considering this option, from Edgar Vasquez Audiovisual Services we share with you clear answers to the 7 most common questions that every client asks, so you can make a safe decision without getting complicated with technicalities.

1. What is the TV service for events?

Event TVs are a service that allows you to have a high quality TV for a specific period of time, without the need to purchase it. It is ideal for a solid visual experience at events, meetings and presentations, especially when you need good visibility and quick set-up.

In practice, the TV rental for events is often used both in corporate environments (presentations, stands, trainings, congresses) and in private events, because it allows you to have a suitable screen without worrying about transportation, installation, configuration or storage.

2. How does the service of hiring a TV for days work?

The process of reserving televisions by the day is simple and accessible. First, you select the size and model of the TV that best suits your needs. You then determine the contract period, which can vary from a single day to several weeks. The service provider will arrange for delivery, installation and pick-up of the equipment, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

The price of a TV per day is calculated based on the rental coefficient where the first contracted day is considered a full day, equivalent to 24 hours, and is charged at a standard price. From the second day on, the cost of each additional day is reduced, generally to half the price of the first day.

For example, if we take as a reference the hiring of a TV with support whose cost of hiring is 100€ per day. We will apply the rule that each additional day after the first is charged half price. The total cost of the product is increased by the cost of assembly and disassembly logistics, as well as the corresponding taxes.

3. In which cases is it good to hire a TV for days?

Televisions for events

Event televisions are a popular choice for conferences, trade shows, weddings and other special events. A large, high-definition TV can significantly enhance the event experience, allowing for clear presentations and entertaining guests with quality content.

Televisions for individuals

For those who need a TV for a short period, either to watch a family event, such as a christening, birthday or wedding anniversary, renting a TV can be the perfect solution. It is also ideal for those who are temporarily in a new location and do not wish to invest in a permanent TV.

4. Is it possible to hire a TV screen with stand?

Yes, many AV companies offer the option of including brackets with televisions. Whether you need a wall mount or a floor stand, you can find the solution that best suits your space and needs. This adds convenience and flexibility, ensuring that your TV is optimally and securely positioned.

5. What are the most common TV sizes?

The size of televisions is measured in inches, and this measurement corresponds to the diagonal length of the screen, taking into account the distance between the upper left corner and the lower right corner, or vice versa.

However, in many cases, it is essential to know the exact dimensions of the screen in terms of width and height, expressed in centimeters or meters. This will allow you to ensure that the TV fits perfectly into the environment and meets the specific installation requirements.

40 Inch Screens

Ideal for small rooms and intimate gatherings, as well as for cultural exhibition halls, digital art works. Even for video tutorials or infoproducts for small trade show booths. These TV screens offer a crisp and clear visual experience with a sufficient field of view from 5 to 15 viewers simultaneously.

The dimensions of a 40-inch screen with a standard 16:9 aspect ratio is 88.7 cm wide by 49.9 cm high. However, currently the most commonly used and standardized size is 43 inches, 95.22 cm wide by 53.55 cm high.

50 Inch Screens

Perfect for medium sized rooms, presentations between 15 and 30 spectators simultaneously, suitable for corporate events as well as for personal use in private meetings. From conferences and company meetings to use at trade fairs.

The measurement in centimeters of a 50-inch screen with a standard 16:9 aspect ratio is 110.7 cm wide by 62.3 cm high.

55 Inch Screens

A versatile size that offers excellent image quality for a variety of events and uses. It is a popular choice, as it is on the borderline of becoming a 60- or 65-inch big screen, but it is still cost-effective in terms of hiring a TV for several days.

The measurements in centimeters of a 55-inch screen with a standard 16:9 aspect ratio are 121.8 cm wide by 68.5 cm high. This size can be installed by a single technician, which optimizes costs in terms of logistics, assembly and disassembly.

65 Inch Screens

Ideal for large venues and events, where a large screen enhances visibility and visual impact. This is the ideal size for those who are looking for a large screen but do not have the budget for a giant 80 or 100 inch screen.

The measurements in centimeters of a 65-inch screen with a standard 16:9 aspect ratio are 143.9 cm wide by 80.9 cm high. This screen size must be installed by at least two technicians and usually requires a slightly higher transportation cost.

75 Inch Screens

The preferred choice for large events and important presentations, offering an immersive and impressive experience. With one or two 75-inch screens it is even possible to hold presentations for up to 100 viewers simultaneously depending on the type of set-up in the event room and the orientation of the screens.

The measurements in centimeters of a 75-inch screen with a standard 16:9 aspect ratio are 165.1 cm wide by 92.9 cm high. This screen size should be installed by two or more skilled technicians depending on the weight of the screen.

6. Advantages of hiring screens for your events

Hiring the TV service by the day offers multiple advantages for both individuals and companies looking for a service with the following characteristics:

Flexibility: Allows you to choose the exact size and model you need.
Practicality: It is an ideal solution for temporary events or short-term needs.
Cost savings: Avoid the high expense of buying a TV.
Current technology: You will always have access to the most current models and the latest technology.
No installation worries: The vendor handles delivery, installation and pickup of equipment, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

7. Where can you hire televisions for your events?

Today there are multiple options for hiring screens for events: audiovisual equipment rental companies, event agencies and stand builders for fairs and congresses. To make the right choice, it is advisable to first define the type of event, capacity, objectives and budget, because this will determine the screen size, the type of set-up and the technical support you will need.

As a quick guide: for small events (up to ~80 people), it is usually best to choose a company specializing in audiovisual equipment rental; for medium-sized events (80-200), an event agency can coordinate technical and logistics if you need more complete production. And for trade shows or massive exhibitions, the booth builder can integrate the screens into the design and installation.

If you want to be on the safe side and be advised according to your space and your audience, at Edgar Vásquez Audiovisual Services we can help you choose the right TV set and plan a professional set-up so that the image looks impeccable and the event is a success.
