Interactive Display Screen

[smacrory1980]

Hi,

 

We are looking at replacing some of our older interactive smartboards with Interactive Display Screens. Could anyone recommend any or advise on which ones to avoid?

 

I know the smart e70 and iBoards seem to be very popular, but what makes them better than cheaper alternatives such as Iiyama?

 

Any help or advice much appreciated

Have you thought about interactive projectors?

I would stay away from benqs. Theire earlier models had various problems and now i've lost confidence in them. We demoed a smart touchscreen recently and none of the teachers had a bad word to say about them, and you can stick with using smart notepad . They were quite pricey but I believe their prices have now come down.

Basically a screen is a screen! - There are various levels of touch and different methods of gauging where you are touching the screen.

However - I think the Iboard offers more to a school with the various add-ons that are included or available but the new Hitachi offers a very cost effective option a very good screen.

If you look a little further down this forum you would see there is a thread about this recently - http://www.edugeek.net/forums/av-multimedia-related/132612-touchscreens-iwb-replacement.html
