Customer Review

Pros: The 8181 provides outputs that allow the unit to be placed in any situation where one might otherwise have planned for a standard computer; this being the VGA output for picture and the 1/4" stereo jack for audio. The picture is decent and the on-board controls permit use without digging out the remote.

Cons: Audio hum is a problem. Using advanced equipment to isolate ground loops might help, but I have not had a chance to prove this.

Other Comments: As the unit works out of the box we tried placing this in a school with a short VGA cord and a 50ft audio cord to the PA system. The hum was so bad we could not use it at all. Then we relocated the unit beside the PA system with 50ft of VGA cord and a 2ft audio cord to the PA. The hum was at a much lower level, but still quite audible and annoying. The unit was advertised as being a good solution for schools. It doesn't strike me as a unit designed for commercial/industrial/school installation.
