stage video monitor

[billsmith]

the idea of a screen in the back for the worship team and preacher was brought up. our room is 60 feet so would a 60 inch lcd work or do i need to do the whole screen with a projector thing. any thoughts?

We use a 50" LCD for a choir monitor in auditorium 2. The distance is a little greater than 60'.

Other issues will factor into this. What size fonts do you use? What is the ambient lighting? And remember budget to make sure electrical and signal cabling will be where you need it.

I suggest seeing if you can borrow a screen from someone for a test.

The advantages of an LCD screen is brightness, and not having to replace lamps. The disadvantage is basically size. If that disadvantage is out of the way, I would go with an LCD or something similar every time.

You could test readability with a laptop and a projector. Just set it up to create an image that mirrors the size LCD you are contemplating.
