Inter­ac­tive flat pan­els, com­mon­ly referred to as IFPs or Inter­ac­tive Dis­plays, have become inte­gral in trans­form­ing the land­scape of cor­po­rate pre­sen­ta­tions, class­room teach­ing mod­ules, and col­lab­o­ra­tion across var­i­ous set­tings. They seam­less­ly blend touch-screen func­tion­al­i­ties with high-def­i­n­i­tion dis­plays and mul­ti­me­dia fea­tures, posi­tion­ing them as indis­pens­able assets in con­tem­po­rary teach­ing and pre­sen­ta­tion envi­ron­ments. When con­sid­er­ing such a sig­nif­i­cant invest­ment, it’s cru­cial to be informed. Here are vital con­sid­er­a­tions to guide your choice:

1. Size and Resolution

  • Size: The ide­al size is con­tin­gent on the room’s dimen­sions and its intend­ed audi­ence. The 65” and 75”  inter­ac­tive dis­plays are tai­lored for stan­dard K‑12 class­rooms. Con­verse­ly, most high­er edu­ca­tion insti­tu­tions opt for the 86” mod­el, align­ing with the needs of larg­er lec­ture halls. QOMO’s Bundle­Board H’s HDMI out fea­ture enables sig­nal out­put to sup­ple­men­tary dis­plays, enhanc­ing vis­i­bil­i­ty. For cor­po­rate set­tings, the suit­able size hinges on the room’s capac­i­ty. A 65” works for small­er rooms accom­mo­dat­ing 2–5 par­tic­i­pants, while more exten­sive con­fer­ence areas hous­ing 6–20 atten­dees would ben­e­fit from a 75”. For even larg­er spaces, the 86” is advisable.
  • Res­o­lu­tion: A high­er res­o­lu­tion trans­lates to supe­ri­or clar­i­ty. Full HD or 4K are opti­mal for aca­d­e­m­ic and busi­ness con­texts. Notably, all QOMO Inter­ac­tive Dis­plays have been 4K since 2016, ensur­ing fin­er image details and height­ened readability.

2. Touch Capabilities

  • Mul­ti-Touch: This fea­ture per­mits sev­er­al users to engage with the screen con­cur­rent­ly, which is vital for team endeav­ors. Some inter­ac­tive dis­plays, such as the Bundle­Board H, boasts up to 40 touch points for pre­cise con­trol, and 20 touch points specif­i­cal­ly for writing—enhancing its adaptability.
  • Touch Response: Rapid touch recog­ni­tion with­out delay is essen­tial. The Bundle­Board H inter­ac­tive dis­play employs IR touch tech­nol­o­gy, pro­vid­ing a nat­ur­al, lag-free writ­ing expe­ri­ence rem­i­nis­cent of tra­di­tion­al whiteboards.

3. Connectivity Options

  • Vari­ety in ports (HDMI, USB, VGA, etc.) ensures com­pat­i­bil­i­ty with a range of devices. RS232 max­i­mizes con­trol with exter­nal sys­tems, while the HDMI and USB touch port are foun­da­tion­al for inter­ac­tive touch com­pat­i­bil­i­ty with PCs. Inno­va­tions like USB C in the Bundle­Board H are also note­wor­thy, facil­i­tat­ing video, touch, and pow­er trans­mis­sion to com­pat­i­ble laptops.
  • Wire­less con­nec­tiv­i­ty, as facil­i­tat­ed by the Bundle­Board H’s spe­cial­ized app, elim­i­nates cable clut­ter. This fea­ture also sup­ports diverse cast­ing modal­i­ties and simul­ta­ne­ous device connectivity.
  • The com­put­er slot in QOMO’s inter­ac­tive dis­plays allows you to embed a Win­dows, Chrome Flex, or Android com­put­er for a sleek­er, more mod­u­lar appearance.

4. Durability

  • Opt for dis­plays with anti-glare and resilient sur­faces. The Bundle­Board H incor­po­rates a 3mm for­ti­fied glass lay­er, enhanc­ing both dura­bil­i­ty and vibrancy.
  • Lifes­pan is anoth­er fac­tor; for instance, the Bundle­Board H is rat­ed for up to 50,000 hours.

5. Integrated Software

  • Check if built-in soft­ware aligns with your needs, and the flex­i­bil­i­ty to inte­grate third-par­ty solu­tions. Bundle­Board H is equipped with a pletho­ra of pre-installed tools and an App­store, offer­ing diverse func­tion­al­i­ties. Using the onboard cam­era app, you can even con­nect a USB Doc­u­ment cam­era to it with­out the need of an addi­tion­al computer.

6. Price and Warranty

  • Val­ue for mon­ey is para­mount. Ensure you account for all nec­es­sary fea­tures in your bud­get, includ­ing any re-occur­ring fees that may be hid­den in the cost.
  • War­ranties, like QOMO’s includ­ed 3‑year onsite guar­an­tee, can mit­i­gate poten­tial future issues, ensur­ing swift, has­sle-free repairs. 2 year war­ran­ty upgrades are also avail­able upon the pur­chase of an Inter­ac­tive Display.

7. Mounting Options

  • The right hard­ware is cru­cial giv­en the sub­stan­tial weight of inter­ac­tive dis­plays. Whether wall-mount­ed or on a mov­able stand, safe­ty and dura­bil­i­ty are para­mount. QOMO pro­vides ver­sa­tile mount­ing solu­tions, rang­ing from bud­get friend­ly mobile carts to elec­tric height adjustable stands, ensur­ing sta­bil­i­ty and adaptability.

8. Audio Capabilities

  • Built-in audio qual­i­ty, such as the 2 15W speak­ers in the Bundle­Board H, should meet your needs.
  • For expan­sive spaces, exter­nal audio enhance­ments might be necessary.

9. Maintenance

Be wary of hid­den costs. Some brands might restrict pre­mi­um fea­tures after an ini­tial peri­od. With QOMO, trans­paren­cy is a hallmark—you retain access to all pur­chased fea­tures indefinitely.
