Question 1

What projector screens does Aria AV rent for events?

Accepted Answer

Aria AV rents three projector screen configurations nationwide. The 6ft tripod screen with black skirt is a portable freestanding screen at approximately 80 inches diagonal, suited for small meeting rooms, breakout sessions, and event spaces where a compact screen is sufficient. The 8x8 screen with stand is a 16:9 widescreen format compatible with standard throw projectors, suited for mid-size conference rooms and ballrooms with 100 to 300 attendees. The Draper 7.5x10 fast fold with front projection dress kit is Aria AV's largest screen at 120 inches diagonal, a professional pipe-and-drape compatible frame system suited for general session ballrooms, main stage presentations, and audiences of 300 or more. Screen-only rentals are available separately from projector rentals.

Question 2

What size projector screen does my event need?

Accepted Answer

Screen size should be matched to your audience depth — the distance from the screen to the farthest seated attendee. The standard rule is that the screen height should be at least one-sixth of the viewing distance. For audiences up to 50 people in a small meeting room with 25 feet of depth, the 6ft tripod screen at 80 inches diagonal is appropriate. For audiences of 100 to 300 people in a hotel ballroom or conference room with 40 to 80 feet of depth, the 8x8 screen at approximately 96 to 100 inches diagonal is the standard specification. For audiences of 300 or more people in large ballrooms, general session rooms, or main stage environments with depths of 80 feet or more, the Draper 7.5x10 fast fold at 120 inches diagonal is the recommended specification.

Question 3

What is a fast fold projector screen and when should I use it?

Accepted Answer

A fast fold projector screen uses a lightweight aluminum frame that folds for transport and snaps together rapidly on-site, holding a flat tensioned screen surface. Unlike a tripod screen that relies on gravity and a single central support, a fast fold frame holds the screen completely taut and flat, producing a superior image surface with no wrinkles, sag, or center mast shadow. The Draper 7.5x10 fast fold is the standard specification for general session main stages, keynote presentations, and any event where a large, professionally flat screen surface is required. The front projection dress kit provides black velour borders around the screen surface, creating a professional framed presentation appearance. Fast fold screens can be pipe-and-drape integrated and are compatible with professional rigging systems.

Question 4

What is the difference between 4:3 and 16:9 screen aspect ratios?

Accepted Answer

Screen aspect ratio must match your projector's native resolution and your presentation content format. A 4:3 screen is square — suited for older presentation content created in standard definition or for projectors with native 4:3 or XGA resolution. A 16:9 screen is widescreen — suited for modern presentations created in PowerPoint at 16:9 widescreen format and for projectors with 1080p, WUXGA, or WXGA native resolution. All Aria AV projectors produce WUXGA 1920x1200 or 1080p 1920x1080 resolution, which is a 16:9 or 16:10 widescreen format. The 8x8 screen and Draper 7.5x10 fast fold are both 16:9 compatible. Specify your presentation content format and projector model when requesting your screen rental to confirm the right aspect ratio.

Question 5

Can I rent a projector screen without renting a projector from Aria AV?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Aria AV rents projector screens as standalone items — screen-only rentals are available separately from projector rentals. This is useful for organisations that own or are borrowing a projector but need a professional screen, stand, and delivery for their event. Screen-only rentals include delivery, setup, positioning, and collection at event close. All three screen formats are available for screen-only rental: 6ft tripod, 8x8 with stand, and Draper 7.5x10 fast fold with dress kit.

Question 6

What is the front projection dress kit included with the Draper fast fold screen?

Accepted Answer

The front projection dress kit is a set of black velour border panels that attach around the perimeter of the Draper 7.5x10 fast fold screen frame, creating a professionally finished black border that frames the screen surface. The dress kit conceals the aluminum frame edges and provides a clean theatrical presentation appearance — the same standard used on professional conference and event main stages. The dress kit is included with the Draper 7.5x10 screen rental. Two units of the Draper 7.5x10 fast fold with dress kit are available for events requiring dual screens on a main stage or two simultaneous screens in different rooms.

Question 7

Does Aria AV guarantee the best price on projector screen rentals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Aria AV offers a 100% Best Price Guarantee on all projector screen rentals nationwide — standalone screen-only rentals and screen-bundled-with-projector packages. If you receive a comparable written quote from another national provider for the same screen configuration, we will match or beat it. All pricing is all-inclusive — screen, stand or frame, delivery, setup, positioning, and collection at event close. Nationwide delivery to any US venue.
