Flat TVs provide 4K resolution for unsurpassed visual quality. With available options of interactive functionality and integrated videoconferencing, they are the new standard for business presentations. An interactive flat panel, or IFP, may be used as a writing surface, so you can annotate, create, and manipulate at the touch of a finger. IFPs come in sizes from 40” to 86” and typically have 4K resolution. Interactivity provides up to 20 simultaneous points of touch, and many models incorporate educational software and wireless connectivity.

The right furniture can maximize cost-effectiveness of an audiovisual system. We can mount your audiovisual system securely onto a cart so you may move your presentation from room to room. There’s room for a projector, audio system, computer, even files and miscellaneous gear. There are many configurations and options, so let us help you select from among the many brands and models. If you prefer to permanently mount an audiovisual system, we offer a range of choices for wall or ceiling. Wall mounted IFPs can be adjusted to different viewing angles. You can even mount your projector inside the ceiling to maintain the room’s appearance when the system is not being used.
Key Features/Benefits:
Mobile carts are extremely cost-effective because they enable the use of expensive A/V systems in multiple rooms or even off-site venues.
Ergonomic AV furniture like the ClearTouch hydraulic stand adjust to accommodate each presenter. They may even be placed in horizontal position for use by multiple participants simultaneously.
Proper maintenance of company laptops and similar devices is critical for security and performance. Charging stations and storage racks ensure that your gear is always easy-to-find and ready-to-go. Charging and storage are available both as mobile carts or as convenient wall units. There are a lot of choices, and we can help you sort them out.
Key Features/Benefits:
Conveniently mobile so you can put it where you want and move it when you want.
Wall storage lockers with multiple USB ports and powered compartments accommodate a range of devices in a single unit. You can mix and match.
Options for iPad or Chromebook, for laptop or tablet, in all kinds of handy configurations for all kinds of needs.
A screen is not just a surface to project onto. A projection screen should match the size and aspect ratio* of the projected image. This actually improves image quality because it increases color saturation and increases audience focus on the projected image. If a screen is too large, too small or is not proportioned to fit the input resolution, it makes the projected image less vivid and the presentation less professional.
*The aspect ratio is the ratio of an image’s width to its height. For example, a square screen has a ratio of 1:1 since all sides are the same, while a movie theatre screen typically has a ratio of about 2.35:1, i.e. the length of the screen is 2.35 times the height. For best results, both the projector and screen should match the aspect ratio of the input device. In the case of computers, this is typically 16:10. Ward’s experts will be happy to discuss this important and often overlooked presentation detail.
Key Features/Benefits:
Electric screens may be raised or lowered at the touch of a finger.
Tensioned screens lie flat and will last for years and years.
Screens that are the correct size and aspect ratio signifcantly improve the projected image.
