Projectors vs. Chromecast

July 21, 2014 by The T By D Team Leave a Comment

Chromecast_dongleDear Geek,
 I got a new promotion (yay)! With this new promotion, I am expected to do more presentations, and marketing strategies to my team. I don’t want to be like the last guy where he would show us slides off of his laptop, which was so small, you couldn’t see. Is there a solution that won’t cost me hundreds of dollars for a projector? 
Sincerely,
Promoted to “Ruler of the Office”

 

Dear “Ruler”,

Projectors are expensive, that’s true, and the I don’t know about you, but I feel the cords from the projector are also a liability every time someone gets up to walk to the washroom.

One product we have found to be very helpful is the Google Chromecast. Chances are, your meeting rooms probably have a TV. The Chromecast makes it very easy to transmit what is on your tablet, iPhone or laptop onto a TV screen with no wires. This means no more huddling around a small screen and tiny speakers.

With a projector, you are spending a good part of your meeting time setting up the screen, the equipment, and attempting to make the cords as least hazardous as possible. With the Chromecast, it only takes three steps. Plug Chromecast into any HDTV, connect it to WiFi, then send videos and more from your smartphone, tablet or laptop to your TV with the press of a button.

Showing off your slides, videos and webpages easier sounds good, right? How about paying $40 for the Chromecase, instead of $700 for a projector?

Want to know if the Google Chromecast is a good option for you? Call Technology by Design for some more information about how we can help with all your technology needs!
