my coworking space have been contemplating on which solution to use for display during seminars, workshops etc. which solution do you think is better and why ?
Projector or Screens ?
TVs are great for meeting rooms - they’re almost always on sale. I think we got 42" TVs for our meeting rooms for like…$250/each.
But TV’s but aren’t great for groups larger than 8-10 people…unless you’re buying giant 70" TVs, which generally start at more than $1500 each to get decent quality.
With projectors, the thing to look out for is the lumens. A lot of cheap projectors only work in rooms that are dark, and in most presentation settings you want something that can be seen easily without turning off all of the lights. We upgraded our primary presentation space earlier this year and I ended up finding this gem for less than $600 US. It’s super bright (3200 lumens), and has amazing picture quality:

Also with a projector, you definitely want to project onto a real screen. Early on we had white walls so I figured we could just project onto them but the picture quality was almost always distorted (especially for any kind of text). Screens aren’t just white, they’re also smooth and reflective which improves how bright the picture appears, and makes sure that nothing gets distorted.

I’ll add on to what Alex said: most of how people will use your projectors is for displaying text, or screenshots, which will require larger projected images than what most people use projectors for which is graphics or, say, movies. Therefore, an 8’ diagonal image will seem huge, but not for seeing text, icons, and menus from the back row.
As for tv’s vs. projectors…I’m on the fence and kind of agree w/ Caner. Maybe you can get 60-65" screens for 6-8 ppl at a decent cost, and forego the projectors…until the 70" screens come down in price.

If you are not after a very big screen size go with a LED screen.

We have a conference room with a 50 inch LED and a 120 inch projector screen and overhead and the overhead never gets used. The fact you can buy a 55 inch for under $400 and a 60 inch for under $700 tells me to go with the LED.

Does anyone have any experience with the Samsung Flip? It’s a 55" touchscreen whiteboard/flipchart/monitor. They’re on sale for the next few days and we’re considering it for some meeting rooms. http://samsung.com/flip
