<div dir="ltr">If you ever watch WTOL and see one of their web center or breaking news pieces, they are both SMARTBoards. So, I guess that would be "seeing" them in action. These are surrounds for LCD type displays. The whiteboard setup was no problem (getting them on the air, well...)<br>

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Working mainly with schools now myself I have been thrown into
the interactive whiteboard game. I have had good luck and ease of use with the
SMARTBoards. I just bought and installed 7 of the all in one units. These have
the projector arm coming out of the top of the board. Very easy to work with as
you don't need to go through all the hassle of ceiling mounts and cabling.
There are a couple different companies out there. I know Hitachi, Promethean,
and SMART all make them. There are others as well. You might check with your
local schools especially if you want to see some in action before you pick one.
Many schools have them.</span></p>
