Jeremy must have been on the same wavelength as me. He took all of my answers.
We have decided to go with the NEC VT695, mostly because I know a few districts
(like FD) have had very good luck with them. Since our great January break-in
in our HS we are installing 5 of these units.
The one thing I really like about the NEC is the ability to remove the filters
without having to take the projector apart or take out the bulbs. They just
slide in and are easy to take out and clean.
Thanks!

Subject: [info-tech] more standardization
We are trying to standardize on a projector to put in classrooms.
· I have gotten opinions from some teachers around our district, but
for the most part, they aren't picky, they just want the bulbs to last forever.
· It seems to me that 2 video inputs is a very nice feature, for
switching between computer and doc. cam or other source.
· A VGA video input is nice as well as Svideo (although I've never seen
it used) for DVD/VCR or video cameras
· What other features do you folks look at when purchasing projectors?
For the most part, they won't be mounted. Is there a specific brand that bulbs
are more reasonable on?
· Is anyone using wireless connections to projectors successfully? We
have a few, but the wireless network (internet) connection is given up when
connecting to the wireless proj. Teachers don't like that.
· As always, price is a factor, but it seems that most of these
manufacturers are making money on the bulbs, warranties and not the projector
itself.
