Interactive Flat Panel Displays for Modern Workspaces
Replace projectors and whiteboards with smart, touch-enabled IFPDs from MAXHUB and Samsung — deployed and supported pan-India by VTL.
What Are Interactive Flat Panel Displays?
Interactive flat panel displays (IFPDs) are large-format touch-enabled screens that combine whiteboarding, presentation, video conferencing, and wireless screen sharing into a single device. They represent the evolution from projectors and traditional whiteboards to intelligent, connected meeting room technology.
A typical IFPD features a 4K UHD display with multi-touch capability (20 to 40 simultaneous touch points), a built-in operating system (Android with optional Windows via OPS module), integrated speakers, and connectivity for HDMI, USB-C, and wireless sharing. Many models include built-in cameras and microphone arrays for video conferencing.
Whether you call them IFPDs, smart boards, interactive panels, or digital whiteboards, they all refer to the same category of product: a self-contained, touch-enabled display that replaces the projector, whiteboard, and separate conferencing equipment in any meeting space.

Frequently Asked Questions About Interactive Flat Panels
The terms are often used interchangeably. Technically, 'smart board' originally referred to SMART Technologies' branded interactive whiteboards that used a projector and touch-sensitive surface. IFPDs are the modern evolution: self-contained flat panel displays with built-in touch, computing, and collaboration features, requiring no projector. Today, most people use 'smart board' to mean any interactive flat panel.
Interactive flat panel pricing in India varies by screen size, brand, and feature set. Entry-level 65-inch IFPDs are the most affordable, while premium 86-inch models with built-in cameras, OPS modules, and advanced collaboration features cost more. MAXHUB offers competitive pricing across tiers, while Samsung offers premium enterprise-grade options. Contact VTL for a project-specific quote.
Size depends on room dimensions and seating capacity. For huddle rooms (2-4 people), a 55-inch IFPD works well. Small meeting rooms (4-6 people) suit 65-inch panels. Medium rooms (6-10 people) need 75-inch panels. Large boardrooms (10-16 people) require 86-inch or larger. As a rule, the farthest viewer should be no more than 6x the screen height away.
