Large 84" display comparison and advice please.

[Dan_ATR]

Hi Everyone,

 

I am in the process of getting a fairly large display for our new hall (Don’t want projector as its too much hassle, H&S etc..) and have been quoted good on the following 4 products.

 

IIYAMA 86" TH8667MIS-B1AG INTERACTIVE DISPLAY

Hitachi UHD8410

BenQ RP840G - 84"

View Sonic 84" CDE8452T

 

What I would like to know from your experience, knowledge and comparing skills, is which one of these is the best. My primary needs are it has to have an Audio out, toughened screen, anti-glare, and lasts for ages.

 

It will be used for school assemblies, also for when the place is being rented out. Therefore, it needs to also work on its own accord. The audio will be piped to a fixed PA system.

 

I could compare them all myself but at the moment I am mentally too tired and losing it big time. Please could you all help please.

 

(No student interaction is needed. Originally, it was just going to be a screen with hardened glass. However, it is cheaper to get an Interactive Screen.)

Also what do you mean by looking at other ones first? These are the only screens that are not over 4.7k

Just by coincidence I have had a demo of the Viewsonic done for me today. It looks to be a very similar product to the Iiyama and Benq and from what I can gather it's pricing is favourable over the others. Personally I have an extensive history of using the Iiyama and Benq screens before and I know them to be well built and reliable, so if I had to buy one right now my preference would be to lean towards them.

Thank you so much for that. Thats really helpfull.

 

Pricing wise, the pricing is in this order.

 

Expencive is at the top. There is a reason why they are spaced, with out giving much away.

I think the 80" would do the Job and will save you buckets of budget against the 84" and 86" panels

Anytime I thought as much - Viewsonic's pricing is very aggressive to gets themselves a foothold in the market.

ask your reseller to speak with their BenQ rep, we might be able to do something on that, if they don't have a contact then PM me.

I think I would suggest you think again about the possibility of a projector. (I don't understand why - for example - its a H & S issue ....nor for that matter why its a hassle...) A 4000 lumen+ projector (either long or short throw) would be a tiny fraction of the price (clearly your school doesn't have the current spending squeeze) and would be a lot easier to protect in cage or something than a large screen which in a hall (especially if the hall used for productions or something) is extraordinarily vulnerable to damage. We have had a decent projector in our hall for more than 5 years.....its not actually on for long any day. I'd have difficulty justifying why we should spend 5 times more to achieve the same result....would rather spend the money on other stuff. I'm sure the day will come when a screen is the right choice...and it probably is today for screens around the 50 inch size.

The reason why Screen is becouse its going to be on for most days. Projector lamps over time do dim, they can be easily damaged, projectors need to be configured, they also need to be mounted and look tacky. I am unable to put on one the ceiling due to type of ceiling there is and we are unable to place one up there (We could put one on the wall). Then when it comes to slight interactivity, your more less now in the same ball court. I have used them before in instances like this and they do not cut the job IMO. Also I need it for external people to use. ie, pc. Edited May 23, 2017 by Dan_ATR
