Determine the type of visual presenters you wish to own

While digital visual presenters are relatively new and offer many ways to present materials on a computer, an analog presenter still has merit as well. Cost can be a deciding factor in this situation. Also consider how often you plan to use your visual presenters.

I recommend: Elmo and Dukane are two trusted names in visual presenters. Both offer a wide range of digital visual presenters, as well as an array of analog presenters.

Decide whether you want a high-resolution visual presenter or a standard model

Consider the high-resolution visual presenter if you need to show your audience detailed data. Choose a standard model if you plan to use the visual presenter projector for printed-page documents.

I recommend: Lumens offers a wide variety of standard models and high-resolution visual presenters. Their user manuals are available online, which makes it easier for you to choose the best product for your company. Camcor also offers extensive guidance on their website to help you purchase the best visual presenter projector for your needs.

Choose between desktop visual presenters and permanently mounted visual presenters

Select a lightweight mobile visual presenter if you plan to move it from one location to another. If you buy a portable projector, be sure to purchase a carrying case for it. If, however, you wish to keep your visual presenter in a single spot, you can mount it so that the projection streams from either tabletop level or the ceiling.

I recommend: Multi-Media Solutions, Inc. offers a wide range of visual presenters. They even offer handheld microscopes you can connect with your visual presenter. Electronic Whiteboards Warehouse has a large selection of ceiling-mounted options for permanent installation.
