Recommended Slide Show Equipment
This is an optional item but highly recommended to add to any booth. People really need to see what they are going to get to fully understand the product.
Monitor
I prefer a computer monitor that can swivel from landscape to portrait. They have less reflection than TV screens and are much less fragile.
PC Stick
This tiny computer lets you connect it directly to the TV and load in your URL for the slideshow. No more need to lug around another computer!
Podium
This podium is super easy to transport. You can use it to hide your backups, place your computer and slide show!
