What decides the price of a jumbotron rental
Size
You pay per panel, so size drives cost more than anything else. Twice the width and twice the height means four times the panels. Our guide What size LED wall do you need? helps you size the screen to your crowd and viewing distance.
Outdoor brightness
An outdoor screen has to beat the sun. Outdoor panels are several times brighter than indoor panels and are sealed against dust and rain, which is why outdoor rentals have a higher minimum. Learn more in Indoor vs outdoor LED screens.
Pixel pitch
For crowds standing 30 ft or more away, 3.9 mm looks sharp and costs less. Choose 2.9 mm when people will be closer to the screen. See What is pixel pitch?
Structure, power and site
Big outdoor screens need a safe support structure, ballast or truss, and enough power. Sites without enough power need a generator. Uneven ground, long distances from the truck and wind conditions all affect labor and equipment, so we confirm these during the site review.
Number of days
Prices are per event day. Multi-day festivals and fairs are quoted for the full run.
Jumbotron vs LED wall: is there a difference?
Not really. “Jumbotron” is a nickname that started as a brand name for stadium screens. Today it simply means a very large LED screen. Whether you call it a jumbotron, a big screen, an LED wall or a video wall, you are renting the same thing: LED panels built into one large display.

FAQ: jumbotron rental cost
How much does it cost to rent a jumbotron for a day?
For an outdoor jumbotron-size screen of about 20 ft × 11.5 ft, expect about $9,200–$10,100 per event day with Unity Logics, including delivery, setup and strike, and an on-site technician. Smaller outdoor screens start at $4,000.
Can a jumbotron be seen in daylight?
Yes, if it is an outdoor-rated LED screen. Outdoor panels are bright enough for direct sun. Indoor panels are not, so make sure your quote says “outdoor”.
Do you need power at the site?
Yes. Large screens draw a lot of power. Our calculator shows the estimated power and number of 20-amp circuits for each size, and if the site has no power, tell us early so we can plan for it.
What areas do you cover?
We deliver and run LED screens across Los Angeles, Orange County, the Inland Empire, San Diego and Palm Springs. See our LED wall rental page for all locations.
