Grayling Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I'm looking for ideas for a large monitor or monitors for client viewing. I'd like to utilize a wall across from our conference table. Anyone purchase something they like? Max width is 60". Budget under $5,000. I have no idea what to look for in monitors like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Gia Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 @Grayling We currently use this.. https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/smart-monitors/43-m70b-uhd-usb-c-smart-monitor-streaming-tv-ls43bm702unxza/ Our conference room is 10’ x 15’ We have the monitor at the end of our rather small conference table (3’ x 7’) which is centred in the room, seating 6 people. I sit almost next to the monitor and work from my laptop. I wouldn’t want to work looking at that monitor from that distance but it works well for people sitting further away around the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking about using a wireless keyboard and mouse at the table. Thanks for your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could always I guess bring it to work and hook it up to see how it goes before buying another. Any issues using a tv versus a monitor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobDesLLC Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I mounted a 65" 4K TV in my conference room and then ran an HDMI cable from it to my computer in my office nearby. I also ran a USB cable, which I connected to a Logitech C920 webcam mounted above the TV, a microphone mounted to the ceiling above the conference room table, and a wireless mouse and keyboard. A pair of powered speakers flanked the TV for sound. With this setup, I could conduct design review meetings in person, or share my screen via Teams for people attending remotely. I went with a powered USB cable due to distance, and placed the wireless dongle directly above the center of the conference room table (along with the microphone). The webcam was aimed at the center of the table, and set to auto focus. The TV was set to mirror the center monitor in my office. I found this to be a very effective arrangement. Everyone could see the screen, and I could easily record our meetings. Audio quality was excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug_N Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I have a projector that fits inside my laptop bag for visits to my client's house. Any wall will do so long as it is a light colour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
