No, they do not. This makes us completely unique. All our TVs display perfectly with no black bars when filming or taking videos - no need for synchronisation or any additional technical boxes! Perfect for social events where everyone wants to take photos or videos.
What is a TV stack?
A TV stack is a stack or wall of televisions built together to make one big display feature. People also call it a TV wall, a bank of TVs, a wall of televisions, a retro or vintage video wall, a CRT TV wall or simply old TVs for a display. If you have seen a pile of old-looking TVs at an event, a shop window or on a film set, that is a TV stack.
I want old or vintage TVs for a display - is that what you do?
Yes, that is exactly what we do. Whether you are searching for vintage TV hire, retro TV rental, old TVs for a display, a bank of TVs or a wall of televisions, we build it, deliver it, install it and play your content on it.
I do not know what I want yet - can you help?
Of course. Most of our clients start with a rough idea, a mood board or a photo they have seen. Send us your venue, dates and the look you are after and we will suggest a stack size and layout, then quote it. Browse our examples gallery to point at the look you like.
Do the TVs actually work and can they play our video or logo?
Yes. Every TV is live and can play your video, logo, animation, camera feed or artwork - all on one image across the stack or a different clip on each screen.
What is the difference between retro TVs and original vintage TVs?
Our retro TVs are purpose-built for events: low voltage screens, fire retardant cabinets and safe to install anywhere. Original vintage TVs look authentic but will not pass health and safety regulations, so we recommend our retro TVs for public spaces.
Where can I hire a wall of old TVs in London?
TV Stack Hire is based at 10-11 Percy Street, London W1T 1DL. We hire retro and vintage TV walls and CRT video walls from 1 to about 70 TVs, and deliver and install across London, the UK and Europe.
How much does a CRT TV wall or TV stack cost to hire?
It depends on the number of TVs, the venue and how long you need it. Every quote includes delivery, installation, content setup and de-rig. Call 020 7430 1811 or send us your dates and venue for a quick quote.
Can a retro TV stack show a live camera feed?
Yes. We can add a small video camera or CCTV camera and show the live feed on one, several or all of the TVs - great for red carpets, launches and photo opportunities.
Are vintage TV stacks safe for public venues?
Our retro TVs are built for public spaces with low voltage screens and fire retardant cabinets, so they pass venue health and safety checks. Original antique TVs usually will not.
