<p>Not as big, but you can't beat this price. Don't know about quality, but at least ViewSonic is a brand that I've heard of before. It appears to be photo only, no video.</p>

<p>Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents. We're looking at a similar set up (actually have the 3 monitors now) at our site and have been through many of the same problems. Know that anything wireless is extremely expensive (and often requires line of sight) if you want it to show a direct feed from a pc.</p>

<p>I've been wanting to do this too. One thing that has kept me from doing it is the power it takes to run even a single computer with multiple monitors. Unless you will get or already have a low wattage computer it seems a bit wasteful. If you want to have one computer that hooks up to multiple monitors and each acts like a separate computer you could look into <a target="_blank" href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16859325003&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Server+-+Systems-_-NComputing.+Inc.-_-59325003">NComputing</a> devices. What is does is to take one computer and turns it into 3 or more computers with their own monitor KB and mouse.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A more elegant and not too expensive solution would be to use digital picture frames. I would get larger ones with decent resolution but these would allow you to display them in various locations with minimal wires. You could just get an SD card for each one, load the students' work on as jpegs and load them into each photo frame. I know there are some frames you can update wirelessly too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
