Thanks! My application was for a display booth to advertise for the summer camp I volunteer with... but pit displays are exactly the same thing. It's definitely faster and easier because you basically pull out the monitor and plug it in and away it goes! There is a little bit more prep involved if you are working with PowerPoint presentations, you have to export your slides to pictures or video since the Pi can't run PowerPoint.
(However, the latest Pi, version 2, will apparently eventually run Windows 10 -- for free! -- so even that may eventually be possible.)
I got a PM asking for details so I will try to make a post either here on CD or on a blog someplace so I can share the details of what I did.
