Rear Projection SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard with XGA Resolution Now Less Than US$10,000 for Educators
Grant from SMARTer Kids Foundation makes XGA resolution more affordable
Calgary, AB – June 22, 2004 – SMART Technologies Inc. announces the price reduction of the Rear Projection SMART Board™ 2000i-DVX interactive whiteboard with XGA resolution. With a grant from the SMARTer Kids™ Foundation, qualifying institutions can purchase the 2000i-DVX with high-quality XGA resolution for only US$9,499. The 2000i-DVX effectively displays fine detail and sharp images.
The Rear Projection SMART Board 2000i-DVX interactive whiteboard combines easy-to-use features and a shadow-free display with 1,024 x 768 resolution. While SVGA resolution (800 x 600) is a common display resolution that works well in the classroom environment, many educators prefer XGA resolution for its ability to display greater detail and reproduce most computer images at native resolution.
“The 2000i-DVX price reduction represents a significant step for educators needing XGA resolution,” says Nancy Knowlton, SMART’s president and co-CEO. “The enhanced resolution combines with award-winning interactive whiteboard capabilities to give teachers and students a superior experience at a price they can afford.”
