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!

We started transitioning to Newline last year. Noah Nickerson ([log in to unmask]) has been helpful. Our teachers seem to love them based on their feedback.

We have a large quantity (~100) of ClearTouch boards.  They have been good in our mixed Chrome/Mac environment.  Both the 65" and 75" models.

I am looking to see what other schools are using for touch screen displays for classrooms, Teachers want an interactive display so they can draw and write on the board while projecting/ displaying work.  Our initial test of Prometheans found that there was no tech support and numerous issues with internal connections that they couldn't seem to fix or address.
