Retro TV Hire for Film and TV
Retro TV Hire for Film and TV Productions - Working Prop Televisions
Productions need televisions that look period-correct and actually work on camera. Ours do both. Every retro TV is a working prop that plays your video through a discreet HDMI converter box - and unlike most vintage sets, ours display perfectly on camera with no black bars, no flicker and no synchronisation kit needed. Hire a single era-correct set for set dressing, a bank of TVs behind the artist, or a full retro TV wall as your hero backdrop.
Built for camera, delivered on time
We have supplied TV props for commercials, drama, music videos and brand campaigns - including sets for Nike, Netflix and the Stranger Things campaign. Our retro TVs have low-voltage screens and fire retardant cabinets, so they are safe on studio floors and location sets alike.
Send us a mood board or a reference photo and we will match the era. We deliver, rig and de-rig across London and the UK - late nights and weekends included - or you can collect from central London W1.
Looking for a single era-specific set instead? Our full catalogue of vintage and retro televisions spans the 1940s to the 1990s - portable black and white sets, classroom TVs on trolleys, and large colour console televisions.
Perfect for
- Commercials - hero retro TV walls and era-correct set dressing
- Drama and film - working period televisions from any decade
- Music videos and pop promos - multi-screen visuals behind the artist
- Brand campaigns and social content - shareable retro TV setups
- Theatre and immersive productions - working vintage screens on stage

Frequently asked questions
Are your retro TVs working props?
Yes - every TV is fully working. Most take modern video through discreet HDMI converter boxes, so you can feed today's content straight onto a 1980s screen. And because they display perfectly with no black bars, they film beautifully.
Do your TVs show a black bar across the screen when filmed?
No. This makes us completely unique - our TVs display perfectly on camera with no black bars or flicker, with no synchronisation boxes or extra kit needed. That is why commercials and music videos keep coming back to us.
Can I hire a single retro TV for a shoot?
Yes, from a single television up to a stack of about 70. Hire one era-correct set for set dressing, a bank of TVs behind an artist, or a full retro TV wall as the hero backdrop of your production.
Do you deliver to studios and locations, or can we collect?
Both. We deliver, install and de-rig across London, the UK nationwide and into Europe - including late-night and weekend rigs - or you can collect from our central London W1 base.
How quickly can you turn a hire around?
We regularly help productions at short notice. Send us your dates, location and the look you need and we will confirm availability and a quote - usually the same day.
