I would add that make sure decent cabling is used on the installations, I have known of so many issues where poor display quality on screens turns out to be the cables and nothing to do with the screen itself

LED is an option to develop, but not sure of its reliability and longevity compared to LCD? Then again if the market in domestic TV's moves rapidly towards LED backlight then commercial interactive screens are sure to follow. Another technology to watch for are the interactive projectors, which Epson have led the way in 2010, but I know are going to see a few rivals appearing soon, and even keener prices. Wouldn't be such a bad idea for the Smart/Promethean domination to be shaken up a bit!

Very interesting articles linked to above. This development along with many others on LCD displays, could illustrate that there will be a market shift away from the traditional interactive whiteboard over the next few years. Which interactive technology then leads the way is harder to predict, but I suspect will be in conjunction with LCD in one form or another.

Interesting to see both Smart and Promethean moving their technologies forward, Smart going for optical touch on their dual touch system, and Promethean going for pen and touch like Hitachi did three years ago. With interactive LCD prices falling all the time though, how much longer will board technology last? Will be an interesting Bett show for sure!
