Smart Whiteboard

[HKMLC]

Hey! I'm thinking of buying a smart whiteboard, do you have any recommendations or suggestions?

We buy the SMART Technologies 75" GX V3 Interactive Display.

 

Cost about £1500. Promethean are cheaper (£1K) but trying to persuade staff to walk away from Smart....

We're using Smart SB60 series boards, in a mix of 65 and 75" sizes. Next renewal cycle (in a few years) we're looking at moving away from Smart, but we'll probably jump to a generic hardware like Iiyama or BenQ. Samsung's Flip range look really good and I love the idea of being able have a single USBC to the board, but they are a bit pricy (still less than we've paid for Smartboards before).

Smart 8000s v3 as well as the newer Smart MX series here. Both are nice.

Hi @hklmC, I can only speak for BenQ boards, but the latest range (RP04) has a host of features - latest generation germ resistant tech, tougher glass (9H), USB-C upgrades, 2 x 20w speakers and 16w subwoofer, environmental sensors - temperature, humidity, CO2, PM2.5, PM10, TVOC - all of which feedback in to DMS (FOC cloud based device management system). It also supports SSO (Google / Azure AD) accounts and allows for NFC card sign in via AMS. The latest RP04 series also features Google EDLA, with complete access to Play Store; by using AMS you can protect the screens and prevent unauthorised access to the screen, apps and even certain apps. You also get the very latest EZWrite 6 Whiteboard software built in (also available on Windows, Mac & iPad) capable of opening .iwb & .notebook files. As well as a powerful casting solution in InstaShare 2. It also comes with 5 year de/re-install warranty as standard (upon registration). If you'd like to know more of have any further questions please let me know. Edited November 23, 2024 by BenQ_Chris
