Re: [U2] Large Screen/Monitors
If it is a large monitor you want have a look at these guys. They have monitors that reach from here to way over there! :-) http://www.go-l.com/monitors/index.htm Ron White - Original Message - From: Mark Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 13, 2004 11:14 PM Subject: [U2] Large Screen/Monitors My dispatch client presently has around 15 running feet of bulletin board that they use to dispatch approx 75 trucks/trailers daily.

Re: [U2] Large Screen/Monitors
I have seen both. One ran off the digital video card of the pc (think the biggest HDTV Plasma Monitor you have ever seen). From the video card, there was a Y cable splitter where one cable went to the PC's Monitor on the desk and the other went to this massive overhead digital monitor. It was HUGE with HDTV inputs too! So, everything that was on the PC's Monitor was on the overhead. 2 years ago this thing was in the $20K range. This was in a call center where the statistics were displayed for everyone to see. The other was a setup where they connected an overhead video projector onto a wall (think trade show). It was run from the video out of the guy's portable PC. Same idea - everything on the PC was on the Wall. The limitation of that setup was the room had to be dimmed. I understand there are other video projectors that have enough output to be shown in fully lit rooms. It had extremely good resolution... I was pleasantly surprised with the clarity.

RE: [U2] Large Screen/Monitors
There are some other practicalities to be considered here with regard to the resolution you are going to use with EITHER alternative. My bet right now is that all 75 trucks are on the board - you will probably need 1024 x 768 resolution (closer to 1600 x 1200) to get all trucks on the board as a screen display) == you may need to consider 2 (potentially smaller) displays and/or a scrolling display Ross Ferris Stamina Software Visage an Evolution in Software Development --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

RE: [U2] Large Screen/Monitors
We use projectors to project pricing data onto walls for our dealers. We do get through bulbs (expensive) at a fair old rate though. Nice and clear though. We used to use 52 plasma screens but now that we have 6 or so projectors that route got pricey.

RE: [U2] Large Screen/Monitors
I have a site that uses 50 (52? 56? Freaking huge...) Samsung Tantus DLP rear projection HDTV/Monitors for large monitors - the stuff looks awesome - and price-wise they're hard to beat - under $3k - the only issue is they are about 14deep, but in the scheme of things, not SO deep that an area over a counter could not be used or space where a standard monitor one sat!
