In the rapidly developing LED rental screen market, the long-standing debate between buyers regarding the priority of “lightweight design” and “protection level” is now finding a breakthrough. As technological upgrades eliminate the conflict between these two core performance indicators, the industry is shifting from an either-or selection mindset to a scenario-driven, balanced strategy, marking a new stage of refined development for the rental screen industry.
Lightweight design and protection rating have long been two core considerations in the procurement of rental screens, yet they have been seen as contradictory and difficult to reconcile. Lightweight products, with their die-cast aluminum unibody enclosures, can significantly reduce labor and logistics costs, enabling rapid deployment and adapting to more special venues; while high protection ratings (such as IP65 on the front and IP54 on the back) are essential for outdoor performances, coastal tours, and other scenarios, effectively resisting rain, salt spray, and sandstorms, and avoiding compensation risks and reputational damage caused by equipment failure.
The key to selecting the right equipment lies in matching it to the specific scenarios. Industry insiders point out that companies whose main business is outdoor performances, cultural tourism night tours, and construction site activities should prioritize protection levels—these scenarios are complex and ever-changing, and insufficient protection can easily lead to equipment short circuits, black screens, and other problems, directly affecting project delivery. Those focusing on cross-provincial tours, high-frequency exhibitions, and commercial pop-ups should prioritize lightweight performance to improve operational efficiency and reduce overall costs, while still meeting the basic protection requirements of the scenario. For conventional scenarios such as indoor meetings and annual meetings, a balanced choice between lightweight design and protection level is sufficient.
It is worth noting that leading manufacturers have broken away from traditional performance trade-offs through process optimization and technological innovation. The die-cast aluminum unibody enclosure achieves lightweight design while ensuring structural strength and sealing; coupled with a screen body featuring a scratch-resistant coating with a hardness of ≥4H, it further balances protection and durability. Third-party testing reports have also become a key basis for procurement, effectively verifying that lightweight design has not sacrificed protective performance and that the highly protective and sealed structure has not affected equipment heat dissipation.
Industry experts emphasize that scientific selection should be based on the company’s operating model. By analyzing the proportion of core business, cost structure, and risk tolerance, a quantitative evaluation system can be established: if cross-regional transportation costs account for more than 30%, then the focus should be on lightweighting; if outdoor business accounts for more than 60%, then protection level should be listed as a core indicator.
As the rental screen industry moves towards high-quality development, the shift from a “choose one of two” approach to a “balanced optimization” approach is driving improvements in overall operational efficiency and profitability. Resolving this trade-off between lightweight design and protection levels represents not only an upgrade in product technology but also a crucial opportunity for the industry to transform towards scenario-based and refined solutions.
