Screens

At Megahertz Productions, we know that a flawless visual experience is the heartbeat of any successful event. A high-quality projection screen ensures that every detail of your presentation, video, or performance reaches your audience clearly, no matter the size of the room or the nature of your gathering. From intimate meetings to large conferences, our carefully maintained screen rental options are designed to elevate the way your content is seen and remembered.

Why Screen Rentals Matter

When you are planning an event, the screen often becomes the centerpiece of communication. It is where your brand story unfolds, where presenters capture attention, and where audiences engage visually. The wrong choice in size, ratio, or format can lead to poor visibility, distracted guests, and a message that fails to land. Choosing the right rental partner means securing not just a piece of equipment but an entire experience of reliability, professionalism, and technical expertise.

At Megahertz Productions, we bring more than just screens, we bring the assurance that your content will be displayed exactly as intended. Every screen is inspected, cleaned, and tested before it reaches your venue, giving you confidence in the final result.

Screen Types We Provide

Fast-Fold Projection Screens

Fast-fold screens are the backbone of professional events. They are ideal for medium to large gatherings, offering a clean, stage-ready look that integrates seamlessly into any production design. These screens can be set up in a variety of formats and are compatible with both front and rear projection surfaces. The sturdy aluminum frames ensure stability, while the wrinkle-free surfaces provide crystal-clear imagery.

Best for: conferences, general sessions, trade shows, and corporate keynotes.

Why choose them: tool-free assembly, professional aesthetics, and flexibility in aspect ratios.

Tripod Projection Screens

Tripod screens are the go-to choice for smaller rooms and quick setups. Lightweight, portable, and easy for one person to manage, these screens are excellent for meetings, training sessions, and small-scale presentations. Despite their simplicity, they maintain the professional polish you expect from an event powered by Megahertz Productions.

Best for: training rooms, classrooms, workshops, and breakout sessions.

Why choose them: compact size, budget-friendly, and quick setup.

Floor-Rising or Portable Screens

Floor-rising screens offer a sleek alternative when tripod legs or stands may not fit your aesthetic. They remain compact in transport but extend smoothly into a full-size surface when needed. These are perfect for spaces where minimal hardware and clean sightlines are a priority.

Best for: modern offices, design showcases, and spaces with limited setup time.

Why choose them: portable, visually clean, and space-efficient.

Projection Modes: Front vs. Rear

Front Projection

The most common method, front projection, is efficient, bright, and compatible with the majority of venues. It requires minimal backstage space and delivers strong image quality, even in environments with limited throw distance. It works especially well when audiences are seated and the projector can be placed strategically without interfering with sightlines.

Rear Projection

Rear projection is the choice for those who value a polished stage appearance. By placing the projector behind the screen, presenters are free to move across the stage without casting shadows or walking into the beam. It does require more depth behind the screen but rewards you with an uncluttered audience view and a seamless stage environment.

Understanding Aspect Ratios

16:9 Widescreen

This is the modern standard for presentations, videos, and digital content. Nearly all contemporary media is designed in 16:9, making it the most popular choice for corporate events, film screenings, and live streaming.

4:3 Standard

While less common today, 4:3 remains useful in certain scenarios, particularly when older content needs to be displayed or when room height is greater than width. It offers a taller image that may suit specific venues and content types.

How to Select the Right Screen Size

Choosing screen size isn’t guesswork—it’s a science. The ideal screen height is typically one-sixth to one-eighth of the distance to the farthest viewer. For example, if the back row is 60 feet away, an 8–10-foot-tall image will keep your content legible.

Factors to Consider

  • Audience size: larger groups need bigger images to ensure readability.
  • Room layout: classroom seating versus theater seating affects viewing angles.
  • Ceiling height: screens should be raised high enough so every guest has a clear line of sight.
  • Content type: text-heavy slides may require larger images than video content.

By evaluating these factors, we ensure every seat in the house has an unobstructed view.

Pairing Screens with Projectors

A projection screen is only as good as the projector paired with it. Brightness, lens choice, and throw distance must all align with the selected screen. Our team specializes in matching the right projector to your chosen screen, ensuring brightness levels and clarity meet professional standards.

  • Ambient light control: brighter rooms demand higher-lumen projectors and sometimes dress kits to reduce spill.
  • Surface quality: matte white surfaces are versatile, while specialty gains can concentrate light in specific directions.
  • Focus and alignment: every setup includes precise adjustments for image geometry and focus.

When paired correctly, a screen and projector combination transforms your content into a vivid, immersive experience.

Common Use Cases for Screen Rentals

Corporate Meetings and Keynotes

Screens set the stage for communication in executive presentations and company-wide updates. Fast-fold models with rear projection keep the stage clear and polished, while maintaining sharp, professional visuals.

Training and Educational Sessions

Tripod screens excel here, offering quick deployment for small to mid-sized groups. Their portability makes them perfect for sessions that need to move from room to room.

Weddings and Social Celebrations

From video montages to live camera feeds, screens bring moments to life. Their clean frames integrate into décor while ensuring every guest shares the experience.

Outdoor Events and Screenings

Large fast-fold frames with rear projection provide stability and visibility in open-air environments. Paired with weather-conscious rigging and professional support, they transform parks and courtyards into cinematic venues.

Hybrid and Streaming Events

With many events now reaching both live and remote audiences, screens play a crucial role. They ensure that in-person participants have the same clarity as those watching online, creating a unified experience.
