User Testimonials
"An essential tool in the Sq1 Creative Department"
"Sq1 first purchased the Mondopad because we were unsatisfied with the audio and video quality of other conferencing devices we tried. In the past our weekly creative meetings with our Dallas office were a hassle. Video calls dropped and the sound cut in and out. With the Mondopad we can now just dial up the Mondopad on their end and we're connected. It's pretty amazing. It's almost as if they’re in the office on the other side of the wall and the Mondopad is a window through. The Mondopad has also made sharing concepts with the other office a lot easier as well. I can save my presentation on a thumb drive, plug it into the side of the Mondopad, and then share my screen with them—I can even make notes on my files and Dallas will see what I'm writing as I'm writing. Even in our day to day, if we need to brainstorm a quick idea, all we need to do is pull up the whiteboard and go. And if we need to check a fact—Boom—hit the web browser and we're searching for the answer without skipping a beat. I didn't think so in the beginning, but the Mondopad has become an essential tool in the Sq1 Creative Department and proves its worth every day." -- Patrick Doyle, Sq1 Portland Creative Director
"Awesome product!"
"[Mondopad] looks great! Beyond the functionality of it, I think this will enhance the Lane PR brand as it pertains to on-site visitors. The best part of this is that the product is very much cutting edge and not even close to bleeding edge. For those in the corporate world who have been through bleeding edge technology, I think that's an important concept that will resonate. Awesome product!" -- Brian Nakashima, CFO, Lane PR

Gary Kayye and the rAVe Pubs team gave a rAVe Award to Mondopad as the "Most Creative New Product" at InfoComm this year. Here's what they had to say: "Mondopad is a $5900 multi-touch 55” 1080p LCD with built-in videoconferencing (including compatibility with Skype, GoogleTalk, Tandberg, Polycom, Sony and any other H.232 or SIP system). It also works as an interactive whiteboard that’ll connect to the network so you can save, send or print it, plus it uses Windows 7 Pro as an OS. This is a great example of differentiation from a display manufacturer."

They said "The InFocus Mondopad was one of a handful of distinctively innovative ideas at InfoComm. The marriage of a 55 inch touch sensitive 1080p LCD "tablet" and 720p videoconferencing capabilities into a relatively low-cost ($5949) package. I especially like the ability to whiteboard interactively and digitize hand-generated graphics so I wanted to give some props to InFocus for their touch sensitive tablet approach."
