Need to make a big impression? SmartSource Rentals recently added some 65″ LED HDTV’s from Samsung to their multi-million dollar rental inventory. Samsung has an outstanding reputation for high quality monitors, flat screens, and plasmas and these new LED HDTV rentals from SmartSource are no exception.

In addition to the new Samsung LED HDTV’s, SmartSource Rentals carries thousands of other LCD Monitors and Plasma Displays. Trained representatives can help your company or small business find a screen that meets the needs of your event or your media. Native screen resolutions, picture quality, audio and other options can make all the difference in how your message gets presented. Trade shows and conventions with a high volume of companies in the same industries competing for customers can be particularly competitive. If your company’s 10×10 booth is next to competitor on the trade show floor, a larger rental monitor or higher quality display can be the difference maker in attracting more attendees.

SmartSource Rentals also provides dual post stands, side speakers, DVD players and other options when you rent plasmas, LCD or LED Monitors.  Many companies and small businesses choose to rent laptop computers or notebooks along with a monitor and send the video signal directly from the computer to the monitor. Connecting a laptop to a large monitor is also a great way to showcase a website or other online product demo while allowing multiple attendees to view it on a larger screen.

Make the most of your trade show investment, corporate meeting or event and choose a company that has been in the computer and audio visual rental business for over 25 years. Our staff has the knowledge to make sure you get the perfect monitor rental for your business needs, whether that be a Plasma Screen, LCD Monitor or our new Samsung 65 LED HDTV Rental. And don’t forget about our seamless plasma video walls if you need something larger than  65 inches!
