The most sophisticated interactive whiteboards (IWB) we sell and install at Midwest Audio Visual aren’t just “big touchscreens”–they’re dynamic hubs for team communication, brainstorming, teaching and presenting. They feel fast, fluid and seamless.
Here’s what the newest IWBs offer:
Ultra-responsive touch and pen input
There is no lag with the highest-quality IWBs; it feels like you are writing on glass. Several users can write or draw at once. You can write with the pen, then move content with your hand. There are never any accidental marks from resting your hand on the board.
Easy-to-use software
Here are some of the features that make the best IWBs on the market user-friendly:
- Digital whiteboarding tools (sticky notes, diagrams, templates)
- Instant saving and exporting (PDF, PNG, email, cloud)
- Infinite canvas or zoomable space
- Handwriting recognition and shape smoothing
Seamless hybrid collaboration
We always recommend IBWs that provide real-time co-creation across devices if hybrid functioning is needed. The ones we recommend most have built-in video conferencing (Zoom, Teams, Meet integration) capabilities, QR code or link sharing for quick access, and multi-user support with annotations from laptops, tablets and phones.
Integration with tools you know
- Google Workspace, Microsoft 365
- Slack, Trello, Jira, Miro, Figma (depending on board)
- File sharing with OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, etc.
- Calendar and meeting tools for room scheduling
High-quality displays
For most Columbus, Ohio Midwest Audio Visual clients, we recommend 4K resolution, which is ideal for clarity on text-heavy or design content. Anti-glare and anti-smudge coatings are also helpful, along with wide-viewing angles for groups.
All-in-one simplicity
Today’s better IWBs feature:
- Built-in operating systems (often Android-based or Windows-based)
- Wireless screen sharing (AirPlay, Miracast, or Chromecast)
- Built-in speakers and microphones
No external PC is required.
Easy updates and management
Newer IWBs offer remote management tools for IT teams, over-the-air firmware updates, user profiles or logins for shared use environments and security features like encryption and tight access control.
Models to consider:
- Google Jamboard (discontinued but still used)
- Microsoft Surface Hub 2S – Great for Teams users
- SMART Board – Education classic
- Samsung Flip – Sleek, simple, solid
- Avocor + Logitech or Microsoft – Enterprise-level collab
- Vibe Board – Cloud-native, Miro-style feel
Looking at your budget and how you will use your IWBs, we can help you select an appropriate option. Then, with a Midwest interactive whiteboard installation, you can be sure your boards will function as promised, helping you collaborate more effectively than ever.
