Interactive Display vs Smart Board: What Do Buyers Mean?

The terms overlap in everyday shopping, but the hardware can be different.

Independent editorial note: Product availability, specifications and prices can change. Verify the exact current listing before purchase.

Interactive whiteboard

Traditionally, this is a touch-sensitive board that works with a connected computer and projector.

Interactive flat panel

This is a large touchscreen display with the image source built into the panel rather than projected onto it.

Smart board

Buyers often use this generically, while SMART Board is also a product family associated with SMART Technologies. Check the actual hardware type in any listing.

Why the distinction matters

It changes installation, maintenance, brightness, resolution, cabling and upgrade planning.
