When planning an event, selecting the right LED screen can be a crucial decision that impacts the overall experience. Lightmedia Displays Ltd, a leader in LED screen hire, understands that clients often have a range of questions when considering which screen to choose. To help you make the most informed decision, we’ve compiled some common questions and their answers.
- What Screen is Best for My Outdoor Event?
When it comes to outdoor events, the primary consideration is brightness and durability. For an outdoor event, you need a screen with a high brightness level (often measured in nits) to ensure visibility in daylight. Lightmedia Displays Ltd offers screens with brightness levels of up to 5,500 nits, ensuring your content remains clear even in direct sunlight. Additionally, our screens are weatherproof, meaning they can withstand rain, wind, and varying temperatures, making them ideal for outdoor settings. Due to health & safety requirements the wind will be monitored on a regular basis with an approved anemometer; if the wind starts to reach the Max loadings then the screen will be immediately lowered.
- What Size Screen Do I Need?
The size of the screen depends on the scale of your event and the viewing distance. For large audiences, a bigger screen ensures that everyone can see the content clearly. As a rule of thumb, for every meter of viewing distance, you should consider at least 1mm of pixel. For example, if you had a 5mm pixel pitch screen the recommendation would be 5 meters viewing distance from the screen.
Lightmedia Displays Ltd offers a range of mobile screen sizes:
12sqm Mobile LED screens
21sqm Mobile LED screens
27sqm Mobile LED Screens
45sqm Mobile LED Screens
As well as any size modular LED Screen starting from 7sqm (3.5m x 2m) right up to 100sqm. The beauty of any modular event is that setups can be customized to fit your event space perfectly whether it is indoor or outdoor.

- Can the Screen be Used for Live Streaming?
Yes, our LED screens are fully equipped to handle live streaming. Whether you’re broadcasting a live performance, sports event, or corporate presentation, our screens provide seamless integration with various media sources. We also support live feeds from cameras, satellite links, and other broadcasting equipment to ensure that your audience doesn’t miss a moment.
- What Power Requirements Should I Consider?
LED screens, particularly large ones, require significant power. Lightmedia Displays Ltd will work with you to ensure that your event location has the necessary power supply or alternatively use one of our mobile LED Screens, which come with an onboard generator and are self-sufficient. Or we recommend a power source that can provide stable electricity for our modular LED screens to ensure your event runs seamlessly and avoid any disruptions.
- How Much Does it Cost to Hire an LED Screen?
The cost of hiring an LED screen depends on several factors including the size of the screen, the duration of the hire, and the location of the event. At Lightmedia Displays Ltd, we pride ourselves on offering competitive pricing and tailored packages to suit different budgets.
