Published: September 18th, 2024

The world of work is changing. Flipcharts, projectors and television screens aren’t up to the pace of innovation.

Technology needs to optimise operational efficiency, enhance communication, and increase collaboration. Businesses are equipping their employees with technologies that meet the challenges of today’s redefined office environment, and turning to interactive displays that offer an edge over television screens.

What does an interactive flat panel offer that a television doesn’t?

High-quality display

Interactive displays combine crystal clear visuals with durability that stands the test of time. Designed to withstand extended periods of operation, these interactive solutions don’t suffer from common television faults that impact meeting and presentation quality.

  • Crystal clear 4K displays support meeting and conferencing experiences.
  • Toughened glass suits high-usage and high-footfall settings.
  • Avoid pixel burn-in, brightness loss and colour shift.

Seamless writing experiences

Natural and intuitive writing experiences mean your interactive flat panel displays don’t just improve on your television screens, they replace dry whiteboards and flipcharts too. What’s more, intuitive pen and touch input differentiation allows you to write naturally with a pen and interact simultaneously with your finger, without action crossover.

  • Natural writing experiences enable easy adoption.
  • Notes and annotations can be saved and shared with ease.
  • Write, share and annotate across popular software applications like Microsoft Whiteboard, Miro and PowerPoint.

Easy integration with existing meeting rooms

Interactive flat panel displays integrate seamlessly with existing meeting room hardware. These interactive solutions slot into videoconferencing setups including Teams Rooms for one-tap meeting launch and streamlined collaboration.

  • Plug and play with your existing devices for an interactive upgrade.
  • Get more out of existing laptops and devices.
  • Futureproof compatibility maximises past and future tech investments.

Benefits of going interactive

Choosing interactive flat panel displays over televisions equips your team with a host of additional features for creating, collaborating and communicating. But, what does this really mean?

Interactive technology in the workplace enhances capabilities and improves productivity. Offices with interactive displays can break down the barriers between present and hybrid colleagues, drawing on real-time annotation to maintain productivity no matter the spread or location of attendees. This contributes to a positive and enjoyable work environment that sees impactful work getting done at pace, leading to:

  • Simpler maintenance for IT teams
  • Technology and tools that appeal to new employees
  • Lower learning curves for new technology
  • Higher team morale
  • Better staff retention

From a sustainability perspective, interactive flat panel displays can reduce your reliance on printed materials and minimise tech turnover with long-lasting functionality. It all adds up to a wise investment that delivers immediate outcomes and empowers your team.

Investing in interactivity means investing in futureproof collaboration for your business.
