I'm looking to rent a large widescreen HiDef TV for just one night. Does anyone know of any companies that offer such a service?

Google 'av hire dublin'.

For one day you're looking at corporate hire, nobody that I'm aware of does consumer hire these days anyway.

There are plenty of companies renting large flatscreens and other A/V equipment but they're geared towards corporate conferences/product launches etc. so will be expensive (they come and install the kit) and will be charging VAT.

See the first option on this website. They're quoting 150+VAT for a one day event, delivery & collection included for a 42" plasma screen.....

Thanks, but for that price, I'd probably be a quarter the way to buying one! It might seem a bit silly but I was looking for a nice big TV to look at the Late Late Toy Show this Friday night at home :pac:

I appreciate that but there is nobody offering short term rental (or any rental for that matter) to the consumer market and in the business to business a/v rental sector, they will only hire out if they do the install and collection. Otherwise their insurance won't cover accidental damage during delivery & collection.

I've seen these guys in action, they have all the right packing cases on castors with internal foam padding and they can setup the gear with their eyes closed. A large flatscreen needs two guys and a van, they come, unpack and install and they come back and collect. That's where most of the cost arises, not the kit itself.

Ok, thanks very much for the help anyway.
