To do this, ColossoVision has broadened its Mobile and Modular LED screen rentals to include digital LED Screen signage for emergencies, drive-in movies, and drive-in church celebrations.


ColossoVision provides two LED Screen options for drive-in movies. Mobile, and Modular systems which display a bright, high-resolution HD screening at any time during the day. What this means to you is having the opportunity to include a matinee for one audience and an evening presentation for another. No need to wait till the sun goes down!
