I'm surprised that it's so expensive -- would you mind giving some pointers to the companies you looked into if you remember any of them?

- dheera 7y agoI don't have names. This was at CVPR 2017 in Honolulu. The convention center had some recommended A/V rental company that quoted $350 for a simple 28" display or something of the sort. They clearly didn't understand basic economics because it cost me 4*$10=$40 Uber rides to get a display from Walmart and return it for a full refund, so the rental company would have needed to be cheaper than $40 to make sense to a customer. Also they violated the most basic axiom of rentals which is that a single day rental needs to be significantly cheaper than buying.

- CPLX 7y agoI’m in the conference and events business. I had the exact same mentality as you when I started, but after a couple broken monitors and stuff that doesn’t work and so on I started to understand the logic of paying an AV vendor to just make sure there’s a working monitor on the table.
