Re: Projectors vs. LCD TVs?

In the rooms where we have projectors, the DVD player is connected to
the projector, not a TV. Now that highdef projectors are available, we
anticipate that we will focus on projectors for their versatility.

Subject: Projectors vs. LCD TVs?

Hi all-

As we continue to buy projectors for our classrooms, a discussion came
up
about projectors vs. LCD TVs. If the point of the projector is to
display
what is on the computer, then would an LCD TV mounted on the wall
achieve
the same effect of the mounted projector + screen?

I know there are pros and cons for both (size of the display,
connectivity,
etc ), but I am just wondering if anyone has been heading this
direction?
Years ago there was a push to get TVs in the classroom, then we moved to
the
projectors - are we now heading back to TVs or are projectors here to
stay?

Wondering if there are other schools out there that have debated this
and
the conclusion you came to? If you are using LCDs, could you please
give
some info on the unit?

Thanks in advance for your help,
