What are LED Screens?

LED screens are displays made up of multiple panels, each with hundreds of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Each pixel can be individually controlled, adjusting in color and brightness to collectively display video or image content.

How do LED Screens Work?

The thousands of diodes in an LED screen produce three primary colors: red, green, and blue. Each RGB diode can be adjusted in brightness and intensity to create a full spectrum of colors.

Every square panel on the screen is controlled by a processor that sends corresponding color and synchronization instructions to each pixel, ensuring the screen displays the correct image. These instructions are sent to the processor from an external source, such as a laptop, flash drive, or DVD player.

What Are Massive LED Screens Used For?

In understanding LED screens and how they work, it's essential to recognize the wide range of uses, events, and places they can enhance, including:

  • Live Footage
  • Animations
  • Custom Graphics
  • Advertisements
  • And More!

What Events are Perfect for LED Screens?

  • Concerts & Music Festivals
  • Corporate Advertising
  • Sporting Events
  • Conference Presentations
  • And More!

Where Can LED Screens Enhance a Venue?

  • Stadiums
  • Malls & Shopping Centers
  • Restaurants & Bars
  • Convention Centers
  • And More!

Are LED screens visible during the day?

Yes, light-emitting diodes produce a bright display that remains fully visible in direct sunlight. Even the most powerful high-lumen laser projectors for inflatable or fold-out screens can't compete with the brightness of the sun.

We take pride in providing professional audiovisual equipment and expert technician support, ensuring a seamless experience for everyone.

projection-vs-led-screen

LED vs Projector Screen Rental

Selecting the best display for your event depend on three main factors:

1) Time of Day

Projector screens work best in low-light conditions, as direct sunlight can wash out the image. In dark indoor venues or nighttime settings, our laser projectors deliver stunning, high-resolution visuals. For round-the-clock visibility, LED screens provide a crystal clear viewing experience, ensuring a clear, vibrant display anytime, anywhere.

2) Pricing

LED screen rentals are significantly more expensive than inflatable screens due to the increased responsibilities involved and the circumstantial need for a larger team of technicians to operate more advanced technology.

3) Type of Event

LED screens are perfect for large-scale events, particularly daytime ones such as live sports watch parties, concerts, and corporate conferences. In contrast, inflatable screen rentals are ideal for movie screenings, including huge drive-ins and cozy backyard gatherings.

FunFlicks LED Trailers & LED Walls

FunFlicks offers two types of LED displays: LED Trailers and LED Walls. Each option has unique qualities that may make one a better fit for your event.

LED Screen Technology: LED Walls

With LED Walls, the choice is yours when it comes to size, shape, and location. We can create a standard flat display or opt for unique designs like a cube, sphere, or curved wall. While LED Walls require more setup time and additional technicians since each panel is assembled and configured onsite, they offer greater flexibility in location. They're especially popular for stage setups or indoor events where LED Trailers may not be accessible.

LED Screen Rental Alternatives: Fast-Fold Screens

If you're hosting a smaller indoor event and are concerned that an inflatable screen might not fit, our fast-fold screens are the perfect solution. They offer a seamless, high-quality display that's ideal for projection, and they're incredibly quick to set up. Fast-fold screens are the most budget-friendly rental option, making them great for conference halls, living rooms, classrooms, or any space with limited room. However, if you plan to use them outdoors, keep in mind that they're not weatherproof or wind-resistant and should be used in dark settings for the best viewing experience.
