[info-tech] mounting projector debate rages on

2008-08-04 Thread Henn, Layne
The debate of mounting or not to mount projectors in the classroom
continues on here in SC.

At one time, somebody mentioned they were switching to LCD's instead of
projectors.

If anybody has purchased LCD's for the classroom, I have a few
questions.

What size is appropriate for a 25 student classroom?

What vendor are you using (IEC?)

Is mounting the TV an additional cost?

 

Thanks!

We bought three Samsung 40" LCD TVs from CDWG this summer and placed them on a cart along with a 15' VGA cable and HDMI DVD player. Less than $1,100 for everything. Easy to setup and can be moved easily. They are crystal clear and can be seen from the back of a normal sized classroom. We are going to talk about what to do in the future later this fall with input from the teachers that have had mounted projectors, projectors on their cart, and the LCD solution. We will then decide whether to go with Smartboards or one of the other options for all classrooms needing projection for thenext year.

We have just completed putting in projectors in our high school classrooms.  We 
have no problem with them as of yet but are really are satisfied with them.  
The only thing with the LCD tv would be that they do not work withh 
smartboards.  We have been placing them in the classrooms also now.
