All of the projectors in this section are positioned within 1 – 1.7m of the 80″ IQBoard.
They can be mounted by either ceiling mount or Wall mount.
We would recommend the ceiling mount if the ceiling is not higher than 4m as itis lower cost and tidier.
Otherwise we would feel the higher cost of the wall mount is justified where a boom arm comes out from the wall.
We recommend a ceiling mount as it is tidier.
Why would you Choose 1 over the other?
