Interactive displays blend work and play for evolving home entertainment.
Specialized IFPDs now offer robust smart features for diverse uses.
New portable touchscreen TVs signal a shift towards direct interaction.
For years, huge touchscreen TVs seemed like a sci-fi fantasy. While IFPDs (interactive flat panel displays) are common in education and corporate settings, touch-enabled smart TVs for consumers have lagged. Samsung, LG, and Sony focus on picture quality and HDR, but large-screen interactivity remains limited.
Expensive interactive flat panel displays have stepped in to claim that space, providing decent OS, applications, and screen sharing, co-mingling work and play.
Here are the top 10 models of interactive displays - whether they are independent interactive flat panel displays with some smart characteristics or consumer touch screen TVs:
The Samsung Flip Pro provides accurate writing and drawing capabilities through its rapid and sophisticated technology. It has 4K UHD resolution, 4-channel 40W speakers, an ambient light sensor for personalized brightness so things are not too bright or too dark, and an antimicrobial coating.
Using Samsung’s Tizen 6.5 OS, it incorporates smart features along with a large amount of connectivity, including HDMI, DP, USB, and USB-C.
The LG CreateBoard models have full 4K UHD IPS panels with up to 400 nits brightness. They have strong multi-touch support (up to 40 points in Windows and 32 points in Android), available teaching templates, and can access the cloud (via QR login in tech).
They use WebOS, allow wireless screen-sharing, and have Bluetooth. Lots of software features to enhance the educational experience, and the 105TR5WP now has a 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio and 5K resolution.
ViewSonic ViewBoard displays come with an intuitive interface, a natural writing experience with up to 40-point touch, and 4K resolution. All the displays provide effortless wireless sharing, either through myViewBoard Display or vCast Sender, and a wide range of wired connections, including USB-C and HDMI connectivity.
Additionally, the myViewBoard Suite comes with annotation tools, cloud storage access, and remote management capabilities, making the displays suitable for a wide range of interactive applications.
Avocor focuses on interactive displays for collaborative experiences that contain ultra-responsive 20- or 40-point touch technology and beautiful 4K or 5K images. Models such as the E Series are perfect for corporate bedrooms, offered with anti-fingerprint glass.
Avocor displays are platform agnostic; they will work with Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS and come with the clever Avocor UiQ.
Intex supplies 4K Ultra HD interactive flat panel display units, capable of multi-touch operation and integrated AI capability.

Cornea’s UltraTouch lineup is a line of interactive flat panels that offer 4K UHD resolution, 2-point touch, and Zero Gap Bonding Technology for a high-quality touch experience. For the most part, these panels will run on Android with optional Windows features.
Key highlights are anti-germ protection, built-in K-12 smart class content, screen recording, and multiple connectivity choices.
SMART Boards are known for classroom applications, but the functions on a SMART Board can be adapted to home use. SMART Boards allow for up to 40 different touch points with simultaneous tool separation, allowing many users to write, erase, and gesture at the same time.
It also supports integrated SMART Ink for writing and annotating over applications, the ease of "walk up and teach" whiteboarding, and seamless screen sharing from any device with integration for Google and Microsoft ecosystems.
The ThinkVision T86 is primarily intended for the professional meeting room, but it can be a high-end interactive experience with capabilities inherent in its large 86-inch 4K UHD monitor. The monitor has a wide color gamut and 400 nits brightness turned on.
The infrared touch technology is capable of yielding a lag-free writing experience with the Smart Whiteboard software and affords the ability to write with 20 touch points if needed.
A generally complete audio-visual collaboration package, the T86 includes an 8-mic array with AI-based voice tracking and a pair of dual 15W speakers.
The LG StanbyME is a portable 27-inch Full HD LED touchscreen TV with a built-in battery (up to 3 hours) and a stand that can move for maximum versatility. It runs on LG's webOS, which gives you access to streaming services and smart features.
The LG StanbyME 2 improves on this with a 1440p resolution display with longer battery life. You will find both devices' NFC, mirroring, Apple AirPlay 2, Apple HomeKit, and smart touch controls quite useful.
This exciting 32-inch Full HD rollable smart touchscreen LCD TV will roll anywhere you want it to go in your home. The DuraPro DuraGo has a battery included (8 hours) and wheels to make moving it easy.
The television has Google GMS certification with Android TV and comes preloaded with streaming services for easy access. The television has a 10-point capacitive touch screen, a built-in 8MP camera for video calling, and a built-in 10W speaker, which means you can have mobility and interactive entertainment.
The future is coming in 2025 and later, and looking toward the trends in display technology, there will be increased implementation of touch in broader contexts. MicroLED technology, which offers vivid colors, deeper blacks, and increased efficiency, could lead to more robust large-format touchscreens that provide more functionality and offer design integration.
Flexible and transparent displays, which right now seem more conceptual, could redefine how we incorporate new interactive surfaces into our environment by making walls, windows, and even furniture into ‘live’ touch surfaces.
