Rental vs Purchase: Which Strategy?

Oct 2024 7 min readBusiness

Break down the ROI of LED rental vs permanent installation.

The short answer

If the screen will be used for a few events a year, rent. If it will run most days in the same place, buy (fixed installation). The grey zone in between is where the numbers matter.

What rental includes

Rental is more than hardware: transport, rigging, crew, processing, content playback and dismantling are part of the package. You always get current, well-maintained stock sized exactly to each event.

  • No storage or maintenance costs
  • A different size or shape every event
  • Technical crew included

When purchase pays back

For lobbies, retail, command centres and broadcast studios, a permanent installation typically pays for itself within a few years compared with repeated rental — and it becomes a lasting part of the space and the brand.

Let us model it

Share how often and where you need screens, and we will prepare a side-by-side cost comparison for both options — including maintenance and support.
