War Room, Legal Presentation & Courtroom Rentals

If you need to rent projectors, video displays, document projectors or other technology equipment for litigation related needs, make sure you pick a reliable company that you can depend on to help make your case. The last thing your law firm or client needs is to have problems with the projector or video equipment and risk loosing the case at a critical moment.

Imagine this scenario:
Your small business or company has spent a lot of money on solid legal representation to defend against a frivolous lawsuit. For months your team has sacrificed time, energy and productivity to ensure the judge rules in your favor and your business is vindicated. On the day your legal team is planning to present some images and video that will make or break the case, the video displays are not setup correctly and the jury ends up hearing and seeing some video that was only intended for the judge and opposing lawyer. Immediately the Judge throws the evidence out and you are left scrambling to figure out a new plan.

Monitor & Stand Tradeshow Setup

Make your booth stand out on the tradeshow floor with a flat screen monitor on a dual post stand to show some promotional video, laptop presentation, or product demonstration.

If you are going to be exhibiting at a tradeshow this year, get the maximum value out of the tradeshow investment and make sure the booth or exhibit space makes an impact on the tradeshow attendees. The goal of participating in any tradeshow is to get a company noticed by attendees. Once a visitor has stopped by the booth, then it is up to the sales people or representatives working the booth to engage them further.

One of the most economical and effective ways to do this is by using video or displaying images on a big monitor. Everybody is drawn to a huge monitor playing video. SmartSource rents monitors of all kinds to hundreds of tradeshows a year, for companies in every kind of industry. Even if it is a 10×10 tradeshow booth space, consider renting a 42” LCD or Plasma monitor on a dual post stand to help attract and engage tradeshow attendees to the space.

Modern Plasma & LCD screens are so thin that they hardly take up any space, and our 72 inch dual post stands have a large flat base that sits on the ground. There is plenty of space to configure one of these rental monitor and dual post stand setups and still leave enough room for your representatives, paper materials, handouts or other types of promotional materials. A 42 Plasma screen rental on a 72 inch dual post stand will still leave ample room for a table, two chairs other materials.

Deciding what video or images to display on the plasma screen at the tradeshow is up to you, but SmartSource Rentals can assist you hand in the device you use. Our dual post stands can be setup up with a small shelf near the monitor to help display the source of your video. Typically the video source is a DVD Player, VCR or PC Laptop that is connected to the monitor. Laptops are ideal as you can display video from a CD or DVD disc and then jump right into a product presentation, website or other computer based program. Side speakers are also available that attach to the sides of the rental monitor if you need sound/audio when displaying your video. SmartSource rents speakers, laptops and other equipment needed to display all of this on the tradeshow floor.

SmartSource Rentals carries monitor and stand rentals for tradeshows in just about any size needed. We have monitors from 32 inches all the way up to 65 in both Plasma and LCD. 3×3 Plasma Video Walls or multiple monitors integrated into the booth design or exhibit space are another option for larger scale installations or high profile shows.

The video wall is made up of nine 42″ seamless plasma monitors and can take both video and PC inputs. Video Wall Quotes & More info.

If you are looking to make a huge impact at your next corporate event, trade show or product launch then this is the technology you need to do it.
