Hi Debbie,
My recommendation will be to combine few LCD monitors. This solution will have low maintenance and will be low-cost.

The 2nd best is DLP projectors - keep in mind that you will have high maintenance cost (lamp replacement) 

The 3rd option will be a big LCD screen - they are very expensive and limited life time (when looping a show)

Hello all,

 

I'm looking for advice on large (>60") monitors or projection systems
for continuous play of video in a small exhibit hall. Does anyone have
advice regarding the durability, reliability, up-front and maintenance
costs of  LCD monitors vs. LCD projectors vs. plasma monitors?

 

Thank you,

Debbie
