Computer Monitor Rentals

So what makes a good gaming monitor? There are quite a few qualities a good gaming monitor should have. The three main qualities are:

Refresh Rate

This is basically the number of times a monitor refreshes its image. Typical monitors refresh at 60Hz while gaming monitors refresh at 120Hz (or higher), twice the rate of other monitors. This results in a much smoother image and the difference becomes more apparent during fast moving content. All of our gaming monitor rentals have 144Hz refresh rates.

Response Time

The response time is a measurement (measured in ms or milliseconds) to describe the time it takes for a monitor to refresh itself and realign pixels to a screen change. The lower the response time number, the sharper the image will look while in motion. The response time on standard monitors is usually 5ms while gaming computer monitors should be 1ms. Rent our gaming computer monitors and enjoy a 1ms response time.

Type of Panel

There are basically three main types of panel technology used in monitors today, TN, VA or IPS. The most common is TN. TN panels are the least expensive to make but also offer the shortest response times. The downfall of a TN panel is its color accuracy and viewing angles. Colors on a TN panel are acceptable but not as accurate as an IPS panel. IPS panels offer a much better viewing angle and color representation however they cost more. VA panels are the sweet spot in between. In most circumstances concerning gaming setups, getting the TN panel makes more sense as the refresh rate is typically more important as smooth fast-paced content is preferred and since most people look at monitors head on the viewing angle isn’t as much of a concern.

HD Monitor rental options

At Hartford you have many monitor rental options to choose from.

Standard monitor rentals

These are business class monitors that are engineered to offer bright displays with great viewing angles. We carry monitor sizes from

Gaming monitor rentals

Gaming monitors significantly differ from standard monitors in two main ways.  Standard monitors typically have 60Hz refresh rates while gaming monitors offer refresh rates from 120Hz to 360Hz.  The higher the refresh rate signifies the more frames per second.  More frames per second will result in much smoother game play.

The other main difference is gaming monitors have a much faster response time. In an Esports tournament, response times can be the difference between winning and losing a game. Response time is expressed in milliseconds and it measures the time it takes for a pixel to change back and forth from being fully active to fully inactive and vice versa. Because gaming monitors have fast response times, they will display your actions almost in real time. You can then respond to in-game actions better and faster.

We carry gaming monitor sizes from 24” up to 49” and have large quantities perfect for Esports events.

Prosumer grade large LCD screen rentals

These models are a great option when you need a TV rental for events.  While they offer the same resolutions as their commercial grade cousins, they are not designed to be operated 24/7 but typically for events, that’s OK as most events are no more than 8 hours.  We carry prosumer models from 40” up to 90”.

Commercial grade large LCD screen rentals

Also referred to as digital signage rentals, are engineered to operate 24/7 using premium components. These are typically used for events where they need to run all day, every day and are the most reliable large screen rental option. Our digital signage inventory ranges from 40” to 90”.

Touch screen monitor rentals

Our interactive display rental inventory features sizes from 40” up to 90”. There are four different types of technologies in use today but the two most common are infrared (IR) and projected-capacitive (PCAP). All of our touch screen rental models incorporate PCAP technology. PCAP technology is typically used in smartphones and tablets. This technology has proven to be more accurate and isn’t affected by bright light that can affect IR touch screens.

Touch screens have gotten a lot smarter over the years that include software allowing you to connect, collaborate and share your ideas with the group effortlessly. A good example is our Microsoft Surface Hub rentals.

Whatever your size, rest assured whatever monitor rental you order, all of our screen rentals go through a thorough inspection process to ensure show quality equipment and are delivered in hard cases with a cable connection kit.
