Forget projectors or interactive whiteboards. Large format interactive screens are the future!

Technology is transforming education and fast! Not too long ago interactive whiteboards were the new ‘must-haves’ for schools. But in more recent years, large format interactive screens have become increasingly popular and are soon to take the UK’s education sector by storm!

Large format interactive screens bring lessons to life. Teachers have the ability to add an element of fun to their lesson plans, engaging student’s right from the start. Teachers can not only present information with ease, but students are encouraged to get involved, either one at a time when it’s their turn to use the screen or by connecting through their own laptop or tablet. Whilst some large format interactive screens require connection to a desktop computer or laptop, others have a built-in operating system and therefore have the ability to work on their own. Many models are provided with education specific software, whereas others even offer their own educational app store where teachers can download appropriate apps to suit their subjects and age-range of students. There are a vast range of large format interactive screens available, with an option to suit the needs of every educational establishment. Interactive screens range from approx… 55” to more than 84” and can either be mounted to a wall or installed onto a trolley, enabling schools to easily transport the screen from classroom to classroom.

You might be thinking that the projector or interactive whiteboard you already have in place is more than adequate, but large format interactive screens offer several benefits over such equipment. The majority of interactive screens offer either Full HD or 4K technology, providing an unrivalled bright, high definition display. Many interactive screens are also anti-glare and unlike interactive whiteboards or projectors, they don’t create a shadow or require a dark room just so students can see them clearly. They are also incredibly low maintenance compared to older equipment like projectors which often suffer from failed bulbs that need to be replaced. However, this isn’t always an easy task and with multiple projectors throughout a school, changing bulbs can not only be very time consuming for staff, but it can also quickly become expensive.

Having worked with the education sector for over 30 years, here at Utility Rentals we understand what great potential large format interactive screens could have in a classroom. But such equipment comes with a high price tag and therefore isn’t within reach for every school…or is it? With the flexible and affordable rental contracts now on offer from Utility Rentals, schools can spread the cost of as many large format interactive screens as they require over a 3 or 5 year rental period. There are a number of rental packages available, enabling schools to tailor their package to meet their specific requirements. We will include delivery of the interactive screen to your school free of charge and schools also have the option of including installation of the screen to a wall or trolley as part of the rental too. In addition to this – and unlike the majority of suppliers – Utility Rentals also provide the option of including a full parts and labour breakdown warranty for the duration of the rental, to avoid schools from any unforeseen repair costs during the life of the screen, which they may not have budgeted for.
