[Smee]

hi.

The boss wants a wall mounted screen in his office for when he has meetings. wants to be able to run presentations from both laptops and memory sticks. Can anyone suggest a suitable screen and a supplier/installer please.

thanks

May as well be asking what car to buy - must be able to seat a driver and have a radio....

 

To get a sensible answer some information is needed. Some idea of how big the room is? How many people need to see it? Do you need wireless connections? OPS PC? Touchscreen? Is the room secure? Are you worried about security?

 

And of course the biggest one - BUDGET?

 

Some context will help greatly. And location!

Excuse me for having a Monday morning lack of information moment!

we are looking at 49" screen, not touch. Its purely for running presentations on. It's in his office, so not huge. The distance from the wall is about 9ft. Can't see him needing wireless but that may change in the future. We are fully alarmed. And in the midlands.

Sensible enough for you?

Cool. I've just bought a 55" Philips commercial display screen for mobile use - the 49" version is here. If you drop to a 48" the price drops another £70, but you lose 4k.

 

Love these screens as obviously commercial displays over consumer TV's so no tuners to worry about, 3 year warranty and connectivity is all there - VGA, DVI, HDMI and USB. The only downside is the audio is a little tinny out of the box (all LED screens are!) but bring the bass up loads and it gets to an acceptable level. (Guess they won't be watching MTV on it so not really an issue, but for voice it's noticeable.)

 

Suppliers - I use Roche a lot for supply only and they're pretty good. Don't use them for installs as I'm the other end of the country, but may be local to you?

My supplier was offering me an ex-demonstration G-Touch 55" Deluxe for £700 just the other day, but I wouldn't be able to take it off him as I have nowhere to justify using it at the moment. He was offering that with a full 5 year manufacturer's onsite warranty. He told me it's one of Geneeworld's own demo units, so has been looked after, but it has been out of the box for demonstration purposes. It is a 10 point touch interactive screen with all of the usual software and 5 years warranty included though, so it's not to be sniffed at.

I can ask him if he's still got it if you want me to. I'm sure that if you ask him nicely, he'll even install it for you for under £200.

I've just given him a call and asked him and he tells me that he has still got one available.

 

He tells me that it's one of Geneeworld's own demo units and is a few months old, but will come complete with a full 5 year onsite warranty included. It's a 55" unit with inbuilt Android and Spark II software included and is a 10 point multitouch screen, so a little more than what you were originally looking for. From what he has told me, it has been used by Geneeworld's sales reps for demos only and has been mounted on a mobile stand, but the screen itself has had very little use.

 

I also asked him about installation in the Midlands area and he advises that it would be around £185 inclusive of trunking & sundries. If you want his details, drop me a PM.
