Smart GX Series

[kxv2020]

Has anyone had experience of the GX series ?

They are a new board so i doubt anyone has had any to take a look at yet, we are either looking at these or at the Iiyama 4 series

Has anyone had experience of the GX series ?

 

We had three installed over half term, so teachers have been using them a couple of weeks. Going on the theory that no news is good news, we don't seem to have had any issues with them - installation was simple enough, teachers don't seem to have had any problems, all seems to be working okay. We had our installs done by VeryPC, including a couple of classrooms for smaller pupils with motorised height-adjustable screen mounts, they were in and out with no problems, very well organised.

 

Edit: today's IT department meeting has just been moved to a classroom with one of the new GX's in, I guess I'll have some more direct feedback shortly :-)

How did it go? how does it compare to the MX series?

How do the prices compare to to the MX series?

Touch screens aren't something I use myself every day / much at all - we used the board as a plain display screen at the meeting, for which it worked very well (75" display, nice and bright), but I can't give any specific feedback about the touch capabilities. None of the teachers using the new boards seem to have had any problems. I don't have any side-by-side comparison with the MX boards - they both seem like nice-looking displays, they both seem to handle touch functionality okay. The GX series has a built-in Smart-specific (Android-based?) system that is, as far as I know, non-removable - with the MX series you could replace the provided OPS PC with a managed Windows / ChromeOS device, less stuff to get in the way, but it doesn't seem to have caused too much confusion. Price was about £1,700 (with VAT), I think, but that might depend on how many you're buying in one go.
