RE: [info-tech] lcd tv vs. projector
I have considered this for a long time - what are the negatives as I can only see positives in by passing a projector that needs expensive bulbs. We can get 42 flat panels with a big discount through a local vendor for about $700.00. Signature DE Diane Elbert 1224 N.

RE: [info-tech] lcd tv vs. projector
Yes, I have thought about both of those issues. Currently, they all have a 27 + tv on a cart now that would no longer be needed. so I assume it would just take up the space used now. It would then become more of a fixed display with cable tv, computer, dvd, vcr connected to it with the ability to display photos from camera sd card, etc. Manson Northwest Webster-Home of the Cougars!

Most of the projectors we have are pointed at the main whiteboard for projection. If you add a tv you will obviously need wall space unless you are putting it on a cart of some sort. If youre going to do that, how does one strap a flat screen to a cart? I have never looked into that.
