We use the 75" Newline screens, purchased from 2ndGear.com- Noah Nickerson
is the rep.

For the first ones we bought we did not buy the integrated PC, and we used
a USB-C and an HDMI cable to connect to a PC positioned nearby. (We have 2
teachers that do not want the interactive features, so we just use a
Windows Display Adapter so it's basically a 2nd monitor. A bit of a
technology waste, but we'll get there). The last batch we purchased with
the integrated PCs. More expensive by $850, but well worth it. We also
provide a wireless keyboard and mouse, which our teachers appreciate.

The learning curve is a little rough on some teachers, but they all manage
to some level in a short time.

Noah is a great rep to deal with, but the real benefit is their trainer, a
gentleman named Ian Justin. Ian is always happy to train, and he's very
good at it. He's also written a bunch of his own training manuals that are
good for the teachers that want to push their limits. (and the manuals are
free)

Several teachers hated the thought of losing their Promethean or Smart
board, but every single one of them has come to like the interactive
screens.

Happy to answer specific questions if I can!
Tim
