Interactive Whiteboards — Kickstart Computers

SMART Board

SMART Board comes in six series — GX, MX, RX, T Pro, QX, and M Pro. Each one is designed for a different buyer, platform, and budget. This page explains the differences, what they cost in Australia, and which series suits your rooms.

The SMART Board range covers education, business, and enterprise — but the series names, platform choices, and pricing tiers can be difficult to navigate without context. A GX Plus and an RX are both called SMART Boards. They are not the same product, and choosing the wrong one affects both budget and workflow for the life of the deployment.

This page explains how the current SMART Board series fit together, what separates them in practical terms, what they cost in Australia, and where SMART Board genuinely outperforms the alternatives — so you can make the right series decision before committing to a model.

Key Takeaways

  • SMART Technologies has been developing interactive display technology for decades — one of the most established names in the market
  • GX Plus V4 runs Android 14 with native Google EDLA certification out of the box — no external appliance needed
  • MX V5 has iQ 4 built in, Hyper Touch, EDLA certified — 5-year warranty standard
  • RX series adds premium panel and deeper AI tools — the choice where Lumio and iQ are central to daily use
  • T Pro runs no embedded OS — designed for Windows or Mac compute via OPS module or external device
  • Basic SMART Notebook desktop is included with every display — Lumio and Notebook Plus require a subscription
  • Room solution bundles with Jabra, Logitech, Yealink, and Barco available across all room sizes
  • Prices on this page are indicative — the range changes regularly; contact us for current pricing

Is SMART Board Right For You?

Who Should Buy a SMART Board

SMART Board is not the only credible option in this category. Here is an honest assessment of who it suits well — and where alternatives may be worth evaluating.

SMART Board suits you if…

  • You already use SMART Notebook and have existing content built around it
  • Writing feel and stylus response are a priority — annotation-heavy workflows, training delivery, collaborative work
  • You are deploying across multiple rooms and want a consistent platform with long-term software support
  • Your organisation runs Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 and wants certified integration
  • You need a meeting room display that also functions as a genuine interactive whiteboard
  • You are in a government or defence environment with TAA compliance requirements

Consider alternatives if…

  • Price is the primary driver and the SMART ecosystem is not already in place — BenQ and others are competitive at entry level
  • The display is primarily a video conferencing surface rather than an interactive whiteboard — Samsung Flip is strong here
  • You are already embedded in the Promethean ecosystem — switching costs work both ways

Not sure which category you fall into? The comparison section further down this page covers SMART Board against Samsung, BenQ, and Promethean across the key decision axes.

How to Choose

The Five Decisions That Lead to the Right Series

Most buyers start with brand and screen size. Those are the last two decisions, not the first. Work through these five in order and the right series becomes obvious.

1

Room Type

Classroom, meeting room, boardroom, training space

2

Platform

Android embedded or Windows / Mac via OPS

3

Software

SMART Notebook only, or Lumio and iQ tools central

4

Series

GX / MX / RX / T Pro / QX — now the decision is clear

5

Screen Size

65", 75", or 86" based on room depth and use

GX Plus V4

SMART Board GX Plus V4 interactive display in a classroom
Android 14 · EDLA Native · 3-Year Warranty

GX Plus V4 — Education Entry Level

The GX Plus V4 is SMART's entry-level display and the starting point for most new deployments. It runs Android 14 with native Google EDLA certification out of the box — no external appliance required for Google Play access. Available in 65", 75", and 86".

Built-in features include 40-point IR touch, SMART Mirror screen sharing, split screen, picture-in-picture, and Android Whiteboard tools. The GX Plus V4 connects to SMART Notebook and Lumio through the iQ ecosystem via the SMART app on the display.

For organisations that want a reliable, well-supported interactive display at a sensible entry price, this is where most SMART deployments start. The 3-year warranty is standard — upgrade to 5-year Assure coverage is available.

Best for: Schools and organisations starting their SMART Board journey, budget-conscious multi-room deployments, and environments where basic Notebook and Lumio integration is sufficient.

MX V5

SMART Board MX V5 interactive display with Hyper Touch annotation
Hyper Touch · iQ 4 Built In · 5-Year Warranty

MX V5 — Mid-Tier

The MX V5 uses SMART's Hyper Touch technology — a finer, more responsive touch layer that makes a noticeable difference for handwriting and annotation work. The line follows the tip rather than trailing behind it, and palm rejection handles the way people actually write on a surface.

iQ 4 is built directly into the MX V5 — the full SMART software ecosystem including Lumio integration, NFC sign-in, remote management, and AI-assisted tools is available without a separate AM60 appliance. Android 13 with EDLA certification is standard, with an OTA update to Android 15 scheduled for late 2025.

Available from 55" through to 86". The 5-year warranty is standard across the range. Organisations replacing older SMART Boards frequently move to the MX V5 as the natural upgrade — the Hyper Touch improvement is a genuine step up, not just a spec increment.

Best for: Organisations where writing quality and annotation precision matter, multi-room deployments wanting 5-year warranty coverage, and environments where Lumio is already part of the daily workflow.

RX Series

SMART Board RX series interactive display with iQ AI tools
iQ 4 Built In · Premium Panel · 5-Year Warranty

RX Series — Premium

The RX series builds on the MX V5 foundation with a premium panel and a deeper implementation of SMART iQ 4 — more advanced AI-assisted tools, enhanced Lumio integration, and automatic content saving that works in the background during sessions.

Like the MX V5, iQ 4 is built directly into the RX — the full SMART software ecosystem is available from day one. Android 13 with EDLA certification is standard. The 5-year warranty is included across all screen sizes.

For organisations where SMART Notebook and Lumio are central to the daily operation — and where the panel quality and AI layer justify the step up from the MX V5 — the RX is the natural endpoint of the education and commercial range.

Best for: Organisations where Lumio and iQ tools are used daily, deployments requiring the best panel quality in the SMART range, and environments where AI-assisted features drive genuine value.

T Pro Series

SMART Board T Pro QLED display in a corporate meeting room
QLED Panel · No Embedded OS · 5-Year Assure

T Pro Series — Enterprise, No Embedded OS

The T Pro is SMART's QLED panel without an embedded operating system. It is designed for organisations that want to supply their own compute — either via an OPS module (the AM60 Android appliance or a Windows OPS PC) or via an external device connected through USB-C or HDMI.

The QLED panel delivers noticeably better contrast and colour depth compared to the LCD panels in the GX and MX series. Organisations running Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms through their own hardware choose the T Pro because the platform decision has already been made at the IT level — the display should not override it.

Available in 65", 75", and 86" with a 5-year Assure warranty as standard. Room solution bundles pairing the T Pro with Jabra, Logitech, Yealink, or Barco video bars are available across all three sizes.

Best for: Organisations running Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms, IT environments where the compute platform is managed centrally, and meeting rooms where QLED panel quality matters.

Andrew's Observation

Enterprise buyers often assume Android and Windows are interchangeable on an interactive display. They are not. The operating system shapes the entire management, security, and integration experience. Choosing the right platform before choosing the display avoids expensive compromises later — and the T Pro exists specifically for organisations where that platform decision has already been made at the IT level.

Enterprise, Government & Specialist

The Rest of the Range

Three additional series cover enterprise boardrooms, government procurement, and specialist presenter environments.

No OS · Ultra HD Camera · 5-Year Assure

QX Pro V2

The top of the commercial range. 40-point Hyper Touch, built-in Ultra HD 120-degree camera, and 5-year Assure warranty with remote management. No embedded OS — OPS or external compute required. Designed for boardrooms and executive spaces where the environment justifies the investment.

TAA Compliant · No OS · 5-Year Assure

M Pro Series

The M Pro carries TAA compliance for government and defence procurement. Built on the same Hyper Touch platform as the QX Pro V2 with sovereign supply specifications. If your organisation has specific TAA compliance requirements, this is the series to ask about. Pricing and availability on request.

27" PCAP · 8-Mic Array · OPS Slot

SMART Board Mini (SIP-727)

A 27" PCAP interactive podium with an integrated 8-microphone array, 4K e-PTZ camera, and an OPS module slot for AM60 or Windows compute. Designed for presenter-forward environments — lecture theatres, training rooms, and hybrid spaces where the presenter controls content from a podium rather than a wall-mounted display.

Note on the NX Series: The NX series is a commercial display without touch capability, running Android 13 and suited to digital signage applications. It is not an interactive whiteboard and is mentioned here only to avoid confusion — it appears in the SMART catalogue alongside the interactive range but serves a completely different purpose.

Honest Assessment

SMART Board Strengths and Considerations

Most product pages present one side. Here is a direct take on where SMART Board leads and where the trade-offs are real.

Strengths

  • Writing feel — the stylus response and palm rejection are consistently the benchmark others are measured against
  • SMART Notebook ecosystem — decades of content libraries and active software development
  • EDLA certification native on GX Plus V4 and MX V5 — not an add-on or appliance requirement
  • Long-term upgrade path — appliance-based upgrades for older hardware rather than forced replacement
  • Breadth of range — entry education through government-grade TAA-compliant deployments under one brand
  • Room solution bundles — pre-configured display and video bar packages sized to room dimensions

Considerations

  • Software subscriptions add to total cost — basic Notebook desktop is included, but Lumio and Notebook Plus require an annual subscription per seat
  • Premium series pricing is higher than some competitors at equivalent screen sizes
  • Platform choice matters — Android versus Windows OPS needs to be decided before selecting a series, not after
  • Range complexity — six series with different OS, touch, and warranty tiers requires careful navigation to avoid the wrong choice

What We See Repeatedly

Three Mistakes That Cost More to Fix Later

These are not hypothetical. They are the conversations we have regularly after a procurement decision has already been made.

Choosing a brand before deciding on Android vs Windows

The platform decision shapes every other choice — management, integration, certified software, and long-term flexibility. Settling on a brand first and then trying to fit the platform around it almost always creates a compromise that lives with the deployment for five years.

Buying on screen size rather than room depth

An 86" display in a room that only needs a 75" is not an upgrade — it is an oversized panel that dominates the space and often creates viewing angle problems at the front row. Size should follow room depth and seating layout, not budget headroom.

Forgetting to budget for software over five years

The hardware lasts five to seven years. The Lumio and Notebook Plus subscriptions renew every year. At around $60 per seat per year, a 20-room deployment carries $1,200 per year in software costs that many procurement decisions do not account for until year two.

Assuming the AM60 is still required on current models

The GX Plus V4 and MX V5 both have iQ 4 and EDLA certification built in. The AM60 appliance is relevant for older SMART Board models being extended, not for current hardware. Budgeting for an AM60 on a new GX or MX purchase is an unnecessary cost.

What Sets SMART Board Apart

Writing Feel — Why It Matters More Than the Spec Sheet

SMART Board stylus writing feel — precision pen annotation on interactive display

The photograph above illustrates why the stylus experience is central to the SMART Board's reputation — precision at the tip, not trailing behind it.

Most interactive whiteboard spec sheets look similar at a glance. Touch points, resolution, brightness, Android version — these numbers converge across brands at similar price points. Writing feel does not appear on a spec sheet, and it is the thing that most determines whether people actually use the display day to day or quietly revert to other habits.

The difference between a display that feels natural to write on and one that feels like a workaround directly affects how much the hardware gets used after installation.

SMART Board has consistently invested in the stylus and touch layer in a way that shows in everyday use. The pen response is low-latency, the line follows the tip rather than trailing behind it, and palm rejection handles the way people actually write — resting a hand on the surface while drawing or annotating — without producing unwanted marks.

This matters in any environment where the display is used for active work rather than passive presentation. A trainer annotating a live document, a project team marking up a plan on screen, a presenter working through content with a stylus — all of these depend on the board behaving like a writing surface, not a touchscreen that tolerates a pen.

Andrew's Observation

The buyers who tell us they are happiest with their SMART Board three years after installation are almost always the ones who based the decision on how it felt to write on, not which brand had the longest spec sheet.

A display that people use every day earns its cost. One that ends up permanently on HDMI input does not.

Environments

SMART Board for Classrooms and Meeting Rooms

SMART Board works across both environments, but the series selection and accessory configuration differ enough to separate them.

Classrooms & Training Rooms

Which series and why

For classroom and training room deployment, the GX Plus V4 or MX V5 is the starting point for most organisations. The key decisions are screen size relative to room depth, whether SMART Notebook is already embedded in the workflow, and whether the project is a like-for-like replacement or an upgrade to a different capability level.

Organisations already using SMART Notebook content and Lumio will find the transition to a newer SMART Board straightforward — content carries across. Those switching from a different brand will need to factor in familiarisation time, which is real but typically shorter than expected.

The RX series is the right choice where Lumio is central to daily operation — the built-in iQ 4 layer delivers the full AI-assisted feature set from day one without a separate appliance.

  • GX Plus V4 — entry level, EDLA native, 3-year warranty
  • MX V5 — Hyper Touch, iQ 4 built in, 5-year warranty
  • RX — premium panel, advanced iQ 4, 5-year warranty

Meeting Rooms & Boardrooms

Which series and why

For meeting rooms, the T Pro series is the most common choice for organisations running Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms through their own hardware. The no-OS panel paired with an AM60 Android appliance or Windows OPS module gives IT teams full control over the compute environment.

For smaller meeting rooms where simplicity matters more than platform control, the GX Plus V4 or MX V5 paired with a bundled video bar is often the faster path to a working, connected room.

For boardrooms and executive spaces where panel quality is non-negotiable, the QX Pro V2 — with its built-in Ultra HD 120-degree camera and 5-year Assure warranty — is the natural choice.

  • GX Plus V4 or MX V5 + video bar — small to medium rooms
  • T Pro + OPS — Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms deployments
  • QX Pro V2 — boardrooms, executive spaces

What Organisations Usually Discover Too Late

The software subscription is the cost most organisations underestimate at procurement time. The hardware lasts five to seven years. The Lumio and SMART Notebook Plus licences renew annually.

At around $60 per seat per year for a standard plan, a deployment across 20 rooms carries $1,200 per year in software costs on top of the hardware. Basic SMART Notebook desktop is included with the display — the subscription covers Notebook Plus features and Lumio.

That distinction belongs in the budget conversation from the start, not as a surprise at year two.

Upgrading from older SMART Boards? Existing hardware may be extendable rather than replaced.

Bundles

SMART Board Room Solutions — Display Plus Video Conferencing

SMART offers pre-configured room solution bundles that pair an interactive display with a video bar sized to the room. All bundles are available with Jabra, Logitech, Yealink, or Barco ClickShare — and with a motorised trolley option for mobile deployment between rooms.

The table below shows the three room size tiers, the typical display size, and which video bar partners are available for each configuration.

SMART Board room solution with video bar — complete meeting room setup

A complete SMART Board room solution — display, video bar, and audio — installed and ready for Teams or Zoom.

Worth Separating Out

The Barco ClickShare Option — Wireless Touchback

The Barco ClickShare bundles do something the other video bar pairings do not. Once a laptop is connected via ClickShare, the SMART Board becomes a wireless touchscreen for that laptop — not just a screen to present from.

You can open applications, navigate menus, scroll through documents, zoom drawings, and control the laptop directly from the display surface. The ClickShare application needs to be installed on each laptop once — after that, any user can walk in, connect wirelessly, and use the SMART Board as a fully interactive extension of their own device.

For organisations where staff rotate between rooms and BYOD is the norm, this is a meaningfully different capability to a fixed platform video bar. The display becomes a wireless touchscreen for whatever the user brings in, rather than a fixed-compute interactive whiteboard.

Pricing

What Does a SMART Board Cost in Australia?

Pricing below is indicative. The SMART range changes regularly — models are updated, older stock is cleared, and there are often current promotions not visible on our website. These figures give a realistic starting point. Contact us for current pricing before making a budget decision. All prices are approximate and include GST.

Andrew's Observation

Most buyers focus on the hardware price at the point of purchase. The more useful number to work out early is the total cost over the full deployment period — hardware, installation, software subscriptions, and extended warranty if relevant.

Over five years, the software subscription often becomes a more significant budget conversation than the display itself.

Software

SMART Notebook and Lumio — The Software Layer

Hardware without software is half the story with SMART Board. Understanding what each platform does helps clarify which hardware tier makes sense — and what the ongoing cost looks like.

SMART Notebook

SMART Notebook is content creation and delivery software — a desktop application used to build interactive sessions, annotate over content, and run activities with a group. Basic Notebook desktop is included with every SMART Board display at no additional cost.

Notebook Plus, which adds more advanced activity types and cloud features, is part of the subscription. For organisations that have used SMART Boards before, Notebook content libraries are a genuine reason to stay within the SMART ecosystem rather than switching brands.

Lumio

Lumio is SMART's browser-based platform — more flexible than Notebook in that it works on any device, not just the SMART Board. Participants can follow along on their own tablets or laptops, engage with activities, and submit responses in real time.

The Lumio Spark plan adds more advanced collaborative features. Lumio requires a subscription — around $60 per seat per year for a standard plan, or around $200 per seat for a 5-year term.

The AM60 Appliance

The AM60 is a compact Android appliance that adds SMART iQ 4 capability to older SMART Board models that do not have it built in. It carries Google EDLA certification.

The GX Plus V4 and MX V5 both have iQ 4 built in — the AM60 is not required on current hardware. It is primarily relevant for organisations extending older SMART Board deployments rather than purchasing new.

SMART Remote Management

SMART Remote Management allows IT teams to monitor, update, and manage SMART Board displays across multiple sites from a single dashboard. Available as an annual subscription per device.

For multi-site deployments or organisations with centralised IT management, Remote Management is worth budgeting for from the start rather than retrofitting later.

Brand Comparison

Who Should Stay with SMART Board

  • Organisations already running SMART Notebook or Lumio — the switching cost in content and workflow is real
  • Organisations where writing feel is non-negotiable — SMART is the consistent benchmark
  • Enterprise environments needing a no-OS QLED panel with OPS flexibility and 5-year Assure warranty
  • Government and defence procurement with TAA compliance requirements

Who Should Evaluate Alternatives

  • Budget-first deployments where the SMART ecosystem is not already in place — BenQ is price-competitive at entry level
  • Corporate meeting rooms where the display is primarily a video conferencing surface — Samsung Flip is strong here
  • Organisations already embedded in Promethean — switching costs work both ways

FAQ

SMART Board — Frequently Asked Questions

  • The GX Plus V4 is the entry-level series — Android 14, 40-point IR touch, native EDLA certification, 3-year warranty. The MX V5 upgrades to Hyper Touch, has iQ 4 built in with Android 13 and EDLA, and includes a 5-year warranty as standard. The RX series adds a premium panel and a deeper implementation of SMART iQ 4 with more advanced AI-assisted tools, also with a 5-year warranty. As a general rule: GX for budget-conscious deployments, MX where writing quality and warranty coverage are priorities, RX where the full iQ ecosystem and panel quality are central to the daily workflow.

  • Yes. The Android-based displays support Teams and Zoom through Google Play. For a fully certified Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms deployment, the T Pro series paired with a Windows OPS module or AM60 Android appliance gives IT teams a managed, certified environment. SMART also offers OneLaunch software — a unified launcher for Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Webex — on compatible displays.

  • No. Both the GX Plus V4 and MX V5 have iQ 4 and EDLA certification built in. The AM60 is relevant for older SMART Board models being extended rather than replaced. Budgeting for an AM60 on a new GX or MX purchase is an unnecessary cost. The AM60 is still relevant for the T Pro series, where there is no embedded OS and an appliance or OPS module is required to add compute.

  • Basic SMART Notebook desktop is included with every SMART Board display at no additional cost. SMART Notebook Plus and Lumio are subscription-based products sold separately. The Lumio Standard Plan including Notebook Plus starts at around $60 per seat per year, or around $200 per seat for a 5-year term.

  • Lumio is SMART's browser-based collaboration platform — it works on any device, not just the SMART Board. It allows participants to follow along, engage with activities, and respond in real time from their own devices. Whether you need it depends on whether the workflow involves active participant engagement versus presenter-led delivery. For training and teaching environments where participant interaction matters, Lumio adds genuine value. For meeting rooms used primarily for video conferencing and annotation, basic Notebook may be sufficient.

  • As a starting point: 65" suits rooms up to around 6 metres in depth, 75" for rooms up to 8 metres, and 86" for larger spaces or where the display is the primary content surface for a larger group. Room lighting, viewing angles, and whether the display is wall-mounted or on a trolley all affect the right choice. Contact us with your room dimensions and we can advise before you commit to a size.

  • Yes, in several ways. The Android-based displays support screen mirroring from compatible devices. With a Barco ClickShare bundle, users can connect wirelessly and use the SMART Board as a fully interactive touchscreen extension of their own laptop — opening applications, navigating menus, and controlling content directly from the display surface. SMART also supports wireless participation through Lumio on connected devices.

  • The GX Plus V4 carries a 3-year limited warranty, with upgrade options to 5-year Assure coverage. The MX V5 and RX series include a 5-year warranty as standard. The QX Pro V2, T Pro, and M Pro series include a 5-year Assure warranty covering on-site service up to 160km from metro areas. Extended warranty covering years 6 and 7 is available across most series.

  • The prices on this page are indicative starting points. The SMART range changes regularly, older models are cleared at reduced prices, and there are often current promotions not reflected here. As an independent reseller, we can often do better than the indicative price — particularly on multi-unit orders. Contact us directly before making a final decision.
