Create an awesome studio sales tool! 2008 version

October 2nd, 2008

Here’s my recommendations for a ‘projection’ display setup:

If you haven’t heard, selling your photography in person, using a display setup can dramatically increase your sales!

1. First, the display piece of the puzzle which is now basically a big monitor – Samsung LN46A550 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV for $1600

Why a TV you ask?  Higher resolution and clearer picture than a projector!

The NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) has established the color standards all TVs in America try to meet. And typical LCD TVs only meet about 72% of this standard. Samsung LCD HDTVs use Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp backlights to give you 92% coverage of the NTSC standard, ensuring truer, more breathlessly vivid colors.

Samsung’s exclusive Wide Color Enhancer technology delivers more brilliant colors, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system displays wider color reproduction, showing you truer colors – the fresh green of spring foliage, the intense blue of the summer sky.

2. Second you’ll need a mount to connect that big screen you’ll need a good wall mount to display it in a prominent place!

3. Third, you’ll need a computer to run your display system, ordering software and full multimedia experience grab an Apple Mac Mini, as it can run Mac OSX as well as windows!(You’ll also want the cable to connect the mac mini to the TV)

4. Fourth, an Apple Airport Extreme will get everything networked together at gigabit and N wireless speed.

5. Fifth, since you’re thinking that once you load up your Mac Mini with a few movies and podcasts you’re probably going to need more space, well I recommend the the Newer Tec Mini Stack at say…1TB @ $300 for maximum multimedia experience with your Mac Mini +iTunes or Amazon Unbox.
