How to Choose an Interactive Flat Panel

An interactive flat panel is a long-term classroom or boardroom investment, so the right choice depends on room size, the apps you run and whether you teach hybrid. This guide walks through the decisions that matter.

Match the panel to the room and the way you teach.

To choose an interactive flat panel, start with the screen size for the room so the back row can read it, then confirm 4K resolution and a responsive touch and writing experience. Decide whether you need built-in apps, in which case look for an EDLA-certified Android model that runs apps without an external PC, and check wireless sharing and the connections you use. If you teach or present to remote participants, choose a panel that pairs with a camera and room audio. PeopleLink builds the panel, camera and audio as one OEM.

FAQs

Questions, answered.

Size the panel to the room and the back-row viewing distance. Larger rooms and lecture halls need bigger screens so text stays readable, while smaller classrooms and huddle rooms can use a smaller panel. PeopleLink can recommend a size for your room.

EDLA certification means the panel runs a licensed Android build with built-in apps and enterprise-grade security, so it can run apps directly without an external PC. Select PeopleLink models, including the AILive Board Core and Plus Series, are EDLA-certified. Choose one if you want to run apps natively and manage the device centrally.

Yes. An interactive flat panel is an all-in-one 4K touch display that combines the whiteboard, projector and computer in one surface, is brighter in lit rooms, needs no lamps or markers, and saves notes digitally.

Pair the panel with a tracking camera and room audio so a teacher can present to in-room and remote learners at the same time. As one OEM, PeopleLink supplies the panel, camera and audio so the room works together.
