Those were not LCDs but plasmas at about 6 k two years ago, and about 2,500
a year ago. At the same time, LCDs were available only at a smaller size,
and were running about 6-12K two years ago, and have come down considerably
since then. I would NOT go with a Plasma screen at all today, even though
they got down fairly low in prices. LCD prices continue to plunge. Now -
none of these were TV sets, but just Monitors, to which I added the
projector, a computer and even a DVD/CD as input devices. I saw a 32 inch
at Walmart last week, running about 1200 bucks, and that with the tuner
built in. The most value for the buck were the projectors at around 1200
and add a white board at another 1200 and we had a nice 50 inch touch screen
. Smart Corp even makes an overlay which you can place right on top of a
flat screen such as we had in the compressed video rooms so you can use an
LCD monitor, with a touch screen which can be transmitted to the second (or
more) classrooms. You just cant keep up with the available techonology
today. Now, smart has a small 14 or 16 inch desktop screen that sits on the
instructors desk. Its a touch type screen, that then transmits the signal
up to the projector which then shows on the large projection screen. Gives
him or her the capability to print/write on the touch screen and have all
the students view it in live-time. They have another program that is usded
in conjunction with their "view screens" wherin an instructor can switch
back and forth, and show even 4 or 6 of the students monitor screens to
everyone else. He can lock out the keyboards so the students have to pay
attention to him, instead of messing with their own computer, share bits of
programs among the students, etc. Smart.com is a good web site to look at
that stuff. There are several companies now providing such, but I tend to
stay with one brand per campus/college.
