Roombr’s Guide to Buying an Interactive Board with Projector for Classrooms

‍

In the last decade, classrooms have undergone a quiet revolution. From chalk to touchscreen, the way teachers and students interact with content has transformed dramatically. But as institutions across India look to upgrade to smarter, more engaging learning environments, one question is commonly asked: What’s the best interactive whiteboard with projector for our classrooms?

That’s where Roombr comes in. This guide is made for educators considering upgrading their classroom infrastructure. It will help in evaluating options and make an informed, future-ready decision. 

Why Buying the Right Interactive Whiteboard with Projector Matters

Technology can either simplify teaching or complicate it. The difference lies in the hardware. A poorly chosen interactive board setup can lead to laggy experiences, constant maintenance calls, or strain on teachers. On the other hand, a well-chosen system—like the all-in-one digital teaching solution from Roombr—can extensively improve:

• In-class engagement
• Hybrid learning readiness
• Lesson recording and content sharing
• Administrative efficiency

Today’s institutions aren’t just looking for a screen on the wall. They want an intelligent system that works reliably, integrates with existing tools, and delivers long-term value with minimal upkeep.

What Makes a Good Interactive Whiteboard with a Projector? [Roombr’s Buying Criteria]

Before we dive into Roombr’s offering, let’s understand what to look for when evaluating interactive boards with projectors.

✅ Screen Size and Resolution

The first thing students notice is how big and clear the display is. A board smaller than 75 inches may not be ideal for large classrooms. Roombr’s system offers 120 to 200-inch ultra-HD projection, ensuring visibility from any seat in the room.

✅ Touch Responsiveness

The lag between writing and display can break a teacher’s flow. Look for multi-touch support and smooth, natural handwriting capabilities. This is especially important for math and diagram-based subjects.

✅ Built-in Projector vs External Setup

External projectors mean messy cables, alignment issues, and future replacement costs. Roombr’s system has a built-in, auto-calibrating projection system that simplifies installation and ensures precise alignment every time.

✅ Audio and Camera Integration

Many setups overlook this, but audio-visual integration is crucial, especially for recording classes or hybrid models. Roombr comes with dual 1080p cameras (teacher and student view) and built-in speakers, so nothing extra is needed.

✅ Operating System & Software Compatibility

Roombr’s hardware supports dual OS (Windows and Linux), so it works with your existing content and tools—from PowerPoint to Google Classroom.

Checklist: What to Confirm Before Buying Any Interactive Whiteboard with Projector

Before investing in any smart classroom hardware, here’s a checklist tailored for decision-makers:

✅ Does it come with a built-in projector to reduce external dependencies?

✅ Can it record and store lessons automatically?

✅ Is the writing experience lag-free and accurate?

✅ Is the system plug-and-play or will it need 4–5 components from different vendors?

✅ Does it support dual OS to work with both Windows and Linux-based content?

✅ Is there on-site support and installation available in your city?
