Funny you should ask...I have just been checking on the same thing. I
wanted something to use instead of an expensive LCD panel when working with
classes or my whole faculty. I decided on AverKey3 from the recommendations
of people on EdTech, and will be able to hook up my computer (including
CDRom) to a larger TV monitor. I am also looking forward to doing some
videotaping of presentations from the computer... I liked AverKey3 because
of the zoom features, remote control, pc and mac capability (if you choose
that model), etc.
