What type of monitor placement works best for you? Computers - LCD and Laptops - may be incorporated into our Multimedia Computer Podiums in a variety of ways.
	flipIT® podiums (VTC, MFI) make your podium a convertible! When you need a monitor screen, flipIT open. When you don't, flipIT closed. Semi-recessed position when open gives unobstructed sight lines to students.
	Semi-Recessed podiums (VTC, MFI, MFP) position the monitor just below the presenter's line-of-sight. This is a solution for iMac® and monitors with dedicated stands that are not VESA mount compatible.
	Solid Desktop podiums hold all monitors (MDT) and laptop (MLT) computers. Power and data ports may be specified for connectivity.
	Downview Glass Top Podiums (MSS) position the monitor under a glass top. This no-clutter configuration is a popular choice, but keep in mind that overhead ceiling lights can obscure the screen with reflections.
Did you know? iMac® may be made VESA mount compliant with this adaptor. Learn more	Desktop podiums with LCD monitor arm allows great range of options for monitor positioning.

Sit-Stand Lectern Desks are another alternative for training environments where a sit-down station is desirable, but a stand-up presentation is called for. Meets all ADA requirements.
