Both projectors and large displays have a place in hybrid meetings. Choose a projector when you need flexible screen size in darker rooms or temporary spaces with a front-projection setup. Opt for a large display when you require bright, legible content in well-lit rooms and uniform visibility for groups. Start with room lighting, seating, and collaboration needs to guide your choice, then pair the setup with the right accessories from our catalog.
