Interactive displays have come a long way since they were whiteboards allowing minimal digital manipulation like copying, pasting, and printing. The interactive displays of today are fully-fledged computing devices in their own right and are used in enterprise environments to facilitate workplace collaboration with both in-person and remote teams.
Having a shared workspace that everyone can work off makes it easier to get a remote team on the same page; and the visual, active aspect of writing on or manipulating a display keeps everyone engaged.
The best interactive displays in the market have features that facilitate collaboration in any space with myriad connectivity options, untethering the whiteboard experience from the wall so the display can go wherever your team is most productive.
We take a look at the top interactive displays by market leaders Microsoft, Samsung, and Newline.

For stalwarts of the Samsung ecosystem, Samsung’s WR65R 65" Flip 2 UHD 4K Digital Flipchart Touch Screen is the way to go. Say goodbye to unwieldy paper flipcharts, messy whiteboards and smelly markers.
The versatile, portable Samsung Flip 2 digital flipchart enhance today's fast-paced and digital-centric workflow, allowing teams to hold and recap meetings with ease. It drives greater collaboration, expands presentation capabilities and is ideal for all types of meetings, training or group brainstorming.
The Flip 2 has a 55" 4K UHD digital flipchart with a smooth and familiar pen-to-paper-like writing experience for making meetings and brainstorms more productive. Brush Mode allows you to create art at the stroke of a brush in water and oil painting modes. Up to four people can write simultaneously and erase drawings with a finger or palm swipe on any background source. By simply clicking the note layer button, you can enjoy smooth writing anytime, anywhere on any content displayed, without affecting any work behind the original layer.
Touch out functionality allows users to sync their personal devices with the Samsung Flip for real-time content sharing and control.
The Flip 2 allows you to connect your PC to the board remotely, meaning any meeting can be started without a PC in the room to avoid delays and help ensure efficiency. A Bluetooth keyboard, mouse and speaker (sold separately) can also be connected to the Flip 2, creating a convenient meeting environment. It stores your meeting securely, then lets you share all the notes via email, network, USB drive or even physical printouts.
It's also ideal for presentations to large audiences and environments such as seminars or Annual General Meetings. You can project content on the Samsung Flip 2 to another large digital display in real-time, using a Wi-Fi network or HDMI out connection.
