Hi everyone,

 

I am about to purchase some LED touchscreens and have been offered 65" screens for a really good price as follows;

 

Interactive Touch Screen - G Touch 65"

 

The company have been and showed us them working but a lot smaller version, does anybody have any experience of them, are they any good ??

also we will be looking to still use active inspire so will have to purchase the licences for each one but when it runs on the screen will it show

the message saying promethean hardware not detected, or am I right in thinking that is only part of the driver which will not be needed.

 

Any suggestions for other screens around the same size would be greatly appreciated, or even opinions of the various screens.

If you were just to use them as interactive screens using Windows applications (for example) you should be OK, but if you want to continue using Promethean or Smart software - this is more than just software.

 

You may be just as well to see what Promethean or Smart offer themselves, as you're guaranteed their software will still work.

There only offering projectors and whiteboards, old hat technology I really want to come away from these as there a thing of the past.

I'd agree that the flat panel display technology looks like a better option than projectors mounted to ceilings - cost equations are a separate issue. I reckon that the most valuable technology SMART have is their software - lots of teachers are wedded to it.

Unfortunately I'm not in the market for flat panels at the minute, due to finances, but @Michael has a point. Take a look at these from SMART.

 

Or you might want to look at some Benq panels with SMART software bundled.
