[senit] Flat Screen Monitors

When specifying I have always avoided these, but we have been

Hi John,

we bought one last year, a Geode 19". It has a good sturdy and heavy  
base, such that it's stable even with a fairly heavy touch to the  
left or right of the screen. It's a hard glass surface, and a simple  
style that keeps connections and buttons either at the back or very  
discretely under the bottom edge.

It certainly works well in the classroom, and I think that to damage  
it a child would have to approach it with the amount of force that  
would also damage a standard monitor or computer.

I think the link below was the company it came from, but am not sure  
off the top of my head. And having looked at the website it seems to  
be having a problem at the moment if you try to follow the link to  
the Geode range - hopefully it may be fine in a short while.
