Lucie,

As you point out, finding the right projector is a balancing act. Just a
quick comment on short throw projectors - Neshobe School recently had one
installed with a 680i Gen2 SmartBoard. The height of the projector is
constrained by the ceiling height in the classroom and it seems a bit low
for comfort. Fortunately, it's in a fifth grade classroom so students
bumping into it acidentally is not an issue. Tall adults will need to take
care..

Subject: Projector Recommendation

Looking for a projector whose focal length or zoom capability could easily
go back and forth between a "large" screen and a "smart board".
 Thinking of doing a ceiling mount, but the permanent placement of a ceiling
mount might make us have to choose between "smartboard" size display  or
"large 100 inch screen".
  (classroom style and classroom 'budget'... you probably know what that
means)

Has anyone tried to solve this problem?  any recommendations.

What about the "short throw" projectors?  Any experience with those?
