Not every display challenge calls for a full LED video wall. For exhibition stands, registration areas, breakout sessions, hospitality spaces, and product showcases, a high-quality plasma or large-format display screen does the job brilliantly. While modern LED and LCD technology has largely replaced traditional plasma screens due to their brightness and energy efficiency, plasma screens are still available for hire for specific needs. Plasma screens are offered for rental in various sizes, typically ranging from 32″ to 103″, making them suitable for a wide range of event formats. Choosing the correct screen size based on your audience size is important for the best viewing experience. Sonus Events provides plasma screen and large-format display hire equipment across Edinburgh and serves clients throughout the UK, with a range of screen sizes suited to any event format or venue.
Plasma screen hire equipment is commonly used by clients for corporate presentations, exhibitions, and parties in Edinburgh. Whether you are dressing a conference corridor at the EICC with agenda and wayfinding screens, running a product showcase at a city centre hotel, or providing a bank of displays for an exhibition stand at the Royal Highland Centre, all equipment is delivered, set up, and collected by our team—these services may incur extra costs depending on your requirements. We supply, set up, and support the equipment throughout your event.

Where Display Screens Work Best
Edinburgh’s events calendar spans conferences, exhibitions, festivals, corporate dinners, product launches, and shareholder meetings. Across all of these, display screens find useful roles. Commercial-grade screens are ideal for business use, theatre productions, and other professional events, offering higher brightness than standard home TVs and resisting glare under harsh venue lights:
- Conference corridors and registration desks displaying agendas, welcome messages, and sponsor branding
- Exhibition stands running product demonstration videos and company showreels
- Hospitality suites and VIP areas displaying live event feeds or branded visuals
- Breakout and syndicate rooms for smaller group presentations
- Awards evenings displaying nominees, sponsor content, and live results
A professional setup is essential to ensure high-impact visual quality in every event environment.
Benefits of Hiring a Plasma Screen
