LG Direct View LED vs. Zoom Rooms

This is a magnificent screen and projector that comes in a variety of sizes and in both 2K and 4K (and maybe even 8K). It has a dazzling display which makes sense if you have a large wall that needs to be visible both nearby and further away. But the cost is very high (and currently it's a bit cumbersome to order these and get them installed), so they do not make sense for smaller or less profitable organizations. If you have a ton of extra money and want to impress, then big yes to the LG DVLED!

User friendly, reliable and inclusive to remote audiences. The product grows organically for us which speaks for itself ; the business at sites we could not equip with our initial investments requests it. We have made the choice of Zoom rooms 5 years ago and it is still one our our star products supporting frictionless collaboration.

• brightness
• quality
• sound

Incentivized

• Zoom Rooms is built on the Zoom platform so faculty already know it and use it.
• All touch panels regardless of manufacturer have the same look and feel.
• Easy to schedule, easy to use.
• Supports a wide range of hardware from several vendors.

• Thickness
• Support
• remote range

Incentivized

• Support is prompt, but not always the most immediately knowledgable or helpful.
• Admin portal is convoluted. There's gotta be a better way to assign scheduling permisissions.
• Zoom account managers are constantly being reassigned. It is nearly impossible to keep track of who presently is our account manager. When we were going through the process of looking into Zoom Phone, our manager was literally switched twice, resulting in us working with three total managers during that two-month process.

Incentivized

User friendliness (experience very similar to the already familiar Zoom app), consistency of the UX across locations and manufacturers. Screen sharing is made super easy (proximity). Zoom rooms support strategic needs for Hybrid work and reduced travels. Backend admin interface is simple (that's good) and provides useful dashboards for trend analysis.

To be honest, I heard a lot about it, so I asked my employer to go with it. And they choose it. Now it helped us to make a better work environment in our office. Even some other guys from the same floor also ordered it because it comes with all you need.

I personally think Zoom Rooms is superior to Teams. I have setup 3 or 4 Zooms Rooms for my organisation and it is pretty straightforward to do without any formal training or education on Zoom Rooms. My experience with Teams was the opposite. A horrible interface and options deliberately hidden away in menus levels deep. On top of which, Zoom Room outperforms Teams Rooms in both video and audio. On the desktop, Teams is a bloated app whereas, in my experience, Zoom Rooms works well.

Incentivized

• Allow user to have projector and screen in one (space saver).
• Impress and retain clients.
• But very expensive (and ultimately too expensive for us).

Incentivized

• Great value for money as used it more than planned after installation.
• Finding the use of screen share and whiteboards is becoming very popular and meant we wanted a larger screen for this. ;-)
