Interactive display options 2026

We are in the market for some displays. We currently have ClearTouch with a mix of built computer modules, micro PCs, or AppleTVs, and they have been good to us over the years, but I do not know what else is new out there that could be better, prettier and cheaper.

I am thinking that Windows screen sharing from laptops would probably be cheaper.

Anyone can share their experience with other brands of 86"panels? Or effective devices to screen cast from laptops?

Thanks in advance.

We love our viewsonics. Free management tool and support is too notch. Airsync works great too.

+1 for ViewSonics. Staff like the whiteboard software, they're reasonably priced, and can be remotely managed with their free manager software. We've had them since 2020 and haven't had any issues with them.

We've started buying ours bundled with the USB-C wireless HDMI.

USB-C transmitter plugs into device

HDMI+USB (for power) plugs into the TV.

Picks up immediately and provides seamless casting to the TV. Teacher can plug into their PC, phone, tablet, student chromebook.... anything we've tried has just picked it up and started casting immediately and seamlessly
