Title: Re: [info-tech] TV's
|
As part of the AV Co-op we just finished awarding
the new projectors for the Fall Coop cycle. When I thought prices could
not get much lower, they did. The SVGA classroom projector will be about
$550. All of our group agreed that this projector out-performed other
projectors in it's class costing hundreds more. This unit should be
available mid September when the catalog is released.
Another thing to take into account when ordering
off of the AV Coop is that the price quoted INCLUDES shipping as well as a 3 yr
warrantee. As Dorothy also pointed out if you need any quantities Bud can
get better pricing for you as well.

May I ask is their a specific reason you need tvs?
I talked to a media specialist once and they are buying projectors
and hooking vcrs up to them to watch tv using the tuner in the vcr, the vcr
to play movies and some have dvd players. Then you also have the
projector in the rooms for hooking up to their computers. I have been
getting computer speaker to plug into my projectors for better sound when
watching movies or cable tv. I am buying projectors and not tvs because
of the cost of the projectors have dropped and also they have a bigger picture
than the tv for computer hook ups Right now I have five projector carts
with a dvd vcr combo with speakers scattered thru our building for staff
use.(one room is ceiling mounted, and more rooms have been wired this summer
for projectors in the ceilings) They are as simple to use as a tv on a
cart, just plug into power and turn on the projector, put the tape or dvd in
and click play. The computer cords are on the cart and connected ready
to connect to the teachers computers. Also the same district media
specialist and safety committee has issued a ban on mounting tvs on walls
because of liability issues. All tvs in their new buildings are on tv
carts. I know that this solution is a bit more expensive but I
know that the quality of the picture and larger picture will help my teachers
incorporate technology into their classrooms easily and keep students
attention
Just something to thing about.
