At the Projector Shootout Monday we evaluated a "Close Focus" projector class. There were 4 projectors in the category that were designed to be mounted close to the screen, say 1-3 feet range. We awarded the
Toshiba TDP-EX20U Conference Room Projector http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/pdet.to?poid=392776&coid=-26392&seg=HHO The cost will be $1368.54 on the spring co-op It will display a 100" diagonal picture only 4.9 feet from the screen. The Texas Instruments Rep said that one state has mandated close focus projectors. The benefit is that the instructor when at the screen the are not looking into the projector. It also has built in Wireless, but still can not do Video faster than 15 frames per second. ---- Other Projectors NEC projectors awarded VT695 & VT700. The VT491 was not awarded in the SVGA category and did not look as good as the InFocus IN2102EP projector and more expensive than the InFocus. We awarded a LCD and DLP in most categories. DLP has added a technology called "Brilliant Color" that makes the DLP color representation as good as LCD projectors. With DLP projectors not needing filters (and cleaning filters), higher contrast ratios, and good color reproduction I would recommend districts purchase projectors using DLP technology over LCD. _____________________________________________________________________ This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
