When choosing an LED display for your project, one of the most common questions is:
Should I use a fixed installation LED display or a rental LED display?
Both options look similar from the outside, but they are completely different in structure, design, and application.
This article will help you understand the key differences and choose the best solution for your business.

3. Structural Differences
| Feature | Fixed Installation LED Display | Rental LED Display |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet Material | Iron / aluminum | Die-casting aluminum |
| Weight | Heavier | Very lightweight |
| Locking System | Screws (slower) | Fast-locks (quick setup) |
| Module Protection | Standard | Anti-collision protection |
| 유지 | Front or rear service | Quick release modules |
| Waterproof Level | Indoor/Outdoor (IP65 outdoor) | Indoor/Outdoor (depends) |
Rental LED screens are built for speed and durability during transport.
Fixed screens focus more on long-term stability and cost efficiency.
4. Installation Differences
Fixed LED Display
-
Installed once and stays in place
-
Uses mounting brackets, steel structures, or wall-mount systems
-
Requires professional installation
-
Power & data cables are permanently fixed
Rental LED Display
-
Easy for one or two people to set up
-
Hanging bars or stacking systems
-
Tool-free or minimal-tool installation
-
Cables are flexible for fast connection
5. Performance Differences
| Specification | Fixed LED | Rental LED |
|---|---|---|
| 명도 | Indoor/Outdoor options | Usually indoor; outdoor available |
| 픽셀 피치 | From P0.9 to P10+ | Mostly P2.6 / P2.9 / P3.91 / P4.81 |
| 내구성 | Strong against weather | Strong against transport & 영향 |
| Refresh Rate | Standard or high | Must be high (3840Hz+) for cameras |
Rental displays must support high refresh rate because they are widely used for events and live broadcasting.
6. Cost Difference
Fixed LED displays are more cost-effective because the cabinet is simpler and installation happens only once.
Rental LED displays are more expensive due to:
-
Die-casting cabinets
-
Stronger frame
-
Fast-lock systems
-
Module protection
-
High refresh rate & better image quality

✔ Need 24/7 long-term operation
Choose Rental LED Display if you:
✔ Work in event production / staging
