Displays on stands rental

What a display on a stand delivers

A display on a stand is a professional screen resting on a free-standing, adjustable stand instead of hanging from a wall or ceiling. The big advantage is the simplicity: you place it where you need it, set the height and connect your source. There is no drilling, hanging or fixed mounting involved. That makes this solution especially suitable for situations where speed, flexibility and a temporary setup matter more than a permanent installation.

The flexibility lies not only in the building but also in the moving. If the layout of the space changes, or you need the screen somewhere else during the day, you lift or wheel it to the new spot. For events with several sessions, break-out rooms or changing setups that is a great plus. You are not tied to one position and adapt the image provision effortlessly to the course of your programme.

Where displays on stands come into their own

The typical environment for a display on a stand is a space where you want to show image quickly and without fuss to a smaller or mid-sized group. In a meeting room a presenter shares their slides with those present without the complexity of a projection setup. During a workshop or training a facilitator shows content to the participants, and the screen moves along if the group rearranges itself. At break-out sessions alongside a main programme you provide each sub-space with its own screen.

At locations where fixed mounting is not allowed or not possible, a display on a stand is the logical choice too. In a rented hall, a listed building or a temporary space you still place a full-fledged image without damaging or fixing anything. The screen also produces its own light and therefore performs well in ambient light, so you do not have to black out the space as is sometimes needed with projection.

Suitable events

At corporate events with several break-out rooms you quickly provide each sub-session with its own screen. At presentations and conferences displays on stands serve as image provision in smaller halls or as an additional screen beside the main stage. And at a product launch you place image flexibly wherever visitors gather, without having to adapt the location.

The technology: stand, height and connection

The basis of this solution is a sturdy stand that carries the screen safely. We use stands with a wide, stable base and match them to the size and weight of the screen. Larger and heavier screens call for a sturdier stand, which we place in a position out of the busiest walking routes so no one knocks it by accident. We route the cables neatly and safely, so the setup looks polished and there is no trip hazard.

The height is an important adjustment point. Most stands are height-adjustable, so we can set the screen at the right viewing height for the audience. In a space where people sit, we place the screen lower than where people stand, and we take the sightlines into account so even the back rows have a clear view. That matching to the setup and the viewing distance makes the difference between a screen everyone can comfortably follow and one that half disappears for some.

Connecting and testing sources

We link the screen to the source you want to show: a laptop, media player or live feed, via HDMI or professional signal cabling. If you work with several speakers or sources, we can place a switcher in between so the switching goes smoothly. Before your meeting begins, we test with your own content whether the image is shown sharply and at the right size and whether the connections work reliably.

Considerations with displays on stands

The most important consideration is the relationship between the group size, the viewing distance and the screen size. A display on a stand is fine for smaller and mid-sized groups, but has a limit. In a large hall where many people have to watch from a considerable distance, the image quickly becomes too small to remain clearly legible. In that case we recommend projection or a larger screen. We determine which solution suits best based on the number of people and the setup.

A second point is stability in relation to the environment. A stand is stable, but it remains a free-standing construction. In a busy space with a lot of movement we deliberately place the screen in a quiet spot and choose a sturdier stand where needed. That way we prevent a passer-by from knocking the screen or something from falling over.

Finally, the lighting situation deserves attention. A display performs well in ambient light, but a glossy surface can suffer from reflections. We match the placement to the light coming in, so reflections from windows or lamps do not get in the way of legibility.

Combining and renting at HuurAV

A display on a stand often works as part of a larger setup. Combined with clear sound a video or a speaker comes across well, and with a well-thought-out lighting plan the screen stays clear while the space is atmospherically lit. Within our complete range in the field of video we match the displays on stands to the other image provisions, so everything forms a whole.

HuurAV takes care of the advice on size and position, the build, a test with your own sources and operation on site, so the screen stands stably and the image comes across clearly. If you want the equipment only, without support, standalone rental is available through Speaker Verhuur Amsterdam at SpeakerVerhuur.nl. Request a no-obligation quote and we will think along about the best image setup for your meeting.
