Color Lcd Projection

Date: Thu, 14 Jan 1993 10:16:09 -0500 From: tas2@cornell.edu (Thomas Scott) Subject: Color LCD Projection Report About 8 months ago, I requested info about users' experiences with LCD projection panels. I got a number of responses, and I was going to post to sumex, but didn't get a chance to. Yesterday I got a request from one of the Info-Mac readers to send him any info I did get. It cleared out the cobwebs, and I realized that there wasn't anything like this currently on sumex, so I'm posting it now. However, everything in the technology world changes almost on a daily basis. I'm sure there's been many changes, especially with the October rollout of new Macs, and the never-ending run of 3rd party vendors to introduce new peripherals to keep up with Apple's changing line. If you seen any changes in this field since last May that could enhance this report, please send them to me at tas2@cornell.edu, and I'll udpate this report to the archive. I hope the info helps people out there trying to make a decision in this field, and I think that new info will make this report even more benefical. Thanks! Please post this in the /report directory. [Archived as /info-mac/report/Color-LCD-Proj-Panels-10.txt; 35K] Thomas Scott, Systems Manager, College of Engineering Cornell University, Carpenter Hall Annex, Ithaca, NY 14853 My original question: I'm in the processing of looking at LCD panels to be used on an overhead projector for a few of my offices. I'm hoping to get a good quality, reasonably-priced color LCD system which we'll be using to give presentations with Persuasion-generated "slides". We're discussing the possibility of higher-end multimedia productions sometime in the near future (probably not for at least a year), so the system should be able to handle video input, without much degradation of quality and such that the video isn't "choppy". I've seen a couple of opinions on a couple of systems recently in Info-Mac, but I'd like to get at much more input as possible. Does anyone have a source of a review of this type of hardware? Can you give me info on what color LCD panel has (or hasn't) worked for you? I need as much info as possible. Please respond directly to me; I disconnected from Mac-L about a week ago. If I get enough response, I'll summarize to the list (and possibly post to sumex). P.S. I'd also like to provide portability for our presentation system; our presenters often go out on the road. I'd like to know how feasible it is to interface one of these LCD panels with a PowerBook 170. What other hardware would I need to allow this setup? Again, thanks for your help! :-)) _________________________________________________________________ From: Dan Lunderville (5/20/92) Date: Wed, 20 May 1992 09:01 CST From: Dan Lunderville <Dan.D.Lunderville@uwrf.edu> I recently had to decide about some b/w and color LCD panels for use with a portable Mac setup.
