LED Screen Hire: What Size Do You Need for Your Event?
A giant LED screen turns a room into a production: presentations everyone can read, a photo slideshow that gets the whole room laughing, or the big match on a wall of light. The trick is choosing the right size and planning what you’ll show. Here’s how.
- Choose the size by your room and how far back your guests will be.
- An operator runs the screen, so you can focus on your event.
- Send presentations and videos ahead so they’re ready on the day.
- Pair it with staging and sound for a full production.
What can you show on an LED screen?
Almost anything you can play from a laptop: presentations, walk-on videos, sponsor logos, photo slideshows of the couple or the birthday star, and live sport. Unlike a projector, an LED screen stays bright even with the lights on, so everyone can see it.
Which size do you need?
It depends on your room and how far your guests will be from the screen. As a guide:
- 3m × 2m: smaller rooms, speeches and slideshows
- 4m × 2.5m: most weddings, parties and presentations
- 6m × 2.5m: big rooms, awards nights and live sport
- 6m × 3.5m: large venues, conferences and stages
An operator, included
Every LED screen comes with an operator who sets it up, runs it during your event and takes it down afterwards. Send your presentations and videos ahead of the day so everything is loaded and tested.
Build the full production
Raise the screen and speakers on staging, add sound and lighting so every word is heard, and for awards and galas, finish with cold sparks for the big reveal. Outdoors? Add generator hire.
