With the digitalization of workspaces, interactive displays have become a must-have for businesses and schools to facilitate effective group work. However, an interactive display is nothing without a stand. Whether you need a fixed, mobile, adjustable, or swiveling stand, each type offers unique advantages suited to specific uses. In this article, we'll guide you through the criteria to consider when choosing an interactive display stand, as well as the specific features of each type. Whether you're a teacher or a professional, discover how our stands can transform your workspace into an interactive and efficient environment.
Selection criteria for choosing your interactive screen support
- The VESA standard: The VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standard is an international standard used to define the dimensions of the mounting holes on the back of interactive displays to facilitate their attachment to the chosen stand. Therefore, depending on the display you have chosen, you must check the VESA dimensions of the display in the product description, as well as those of the desired stand, to ensure compatibility. For example, if you have a 75-inch SpeechiTouch interactive display with a VESA standard of 600x400 mm, you must select a stand that supports this standard.
- The type of interactive screen: the interactive screen determines the mounting and compatibility requirements, as we saw with the VESA standard. Indeed, all interactive screens vary in size and weight, but also depend on their intended use. If you opt for a digital signage screen to broadcast your communications, then a wall mount is perfect. However, if you have a SuperGlass 3 105” interactive screen for professional use, you would need to choose a mount specifically designed for it, due to its large size. At Speechi, we only offer a wall mount for the SuperGlass 3 because of its weight.
- Room size: The size of the room is also a factor to consider. It's important that the mount's sole function is to hold the screen and not become cumbersome or obstruct passage. For example, wall mounts are ideal for small rooms as they are discreet and practical. However, for larger rooms, mobile mounts with casters can be considered, allowing the screen to be repositioned according to the audience's needs or simply moved from room to room.
- Interactive screen users: The choice of stand can also depend on the users of the interactive screen. In a school environment, for example, it is necessary to choose a height-adjustable stand, as the screen will be used by students of different heights. Fifth-grade students are generally taller than younger children in preschool. This type of stand would also be ideal for people with reduced mobility, as it guarantees better accessibility. In a professional environment, a mobile, adjustable stand can allow more creative individuals to work with greater flexibility thanks to its tilt.
The different types of media
It is important to know the selection criteria for choosing your medium, but it is also important to know the different types of media from which you can choose.
1. The freestanding stand
If your wall isn't thick enough to mount the screen directly, or if you simply don't want to drill into it, then a floor stand is ideal. It provides a permanent and stable installation when moving the screen isn't necessary. Assembling the Speechi floor stand is very simple and quick, and perfect for mounting on a shelf or piece of furniture, as the feet are not height-adjustable. Different floor stands are available depending on the size of your interactive screen, ensuring it stays in place even when multiple users are collaborating on it simultaneously.
Prices vary depending on screen size:
For an interactive screen 43” to 65”, the stand is €139 excluding VAT.
For a 75” and 86” interactive screen, the stand is €169 excluding VAT.
For an 86” interactive screen, the stand is €179 excluding VAT.
2. The wall bracket
The wall mount is the ideal solution for saving space in the room and achieving a simple and aesthetically pleasing installation. Indeed, the wall mount is very discreet; once the interactive screen is installed, the mount becomes invisible, as if the screen were floating.
Wall mounts come in various shapes and sizes. At Speechi, we first offer simple wall mounts with minimal mounting hardware on the back for a minimalist look. Then we offer reinforced, height-adjustable wall mounts with a support extending to the floor, capable of supporting heavier loads. Finally, we also offer wall mounts with electrically adjustable height via a wired remote control.
Even if the interactive screen is mounted on the wall with this bracket, you will not lose access to the USB and HDMI ports since they are located on the front of the screen.
The prices for the simple wall mount start from €99 excluding VAT.
Prices for the height-adjustable reinforced wall mount start from €699 excluding VAT.
The price of the electrically height-adjustable wall mount is €649 excluding VAT.
3. Mobile support
The mobile stand stands out for its exceptional practicality, offering an ideal solution for using the interactive screen in various environments. Its key feature is the casters on its feet, allowing for easy movement from one space to another so everyone can benefit. Furthermore, the stand is equipped with foot-operated brakes to prevent the screen from moving during use.
There are also mobile stands that have storage compartments to keep all the screen accessories in one place, a perfect solution if the screen is moved from room to room.
Whether in educational or professional settings, mobile interactive display stands offer the flexibility to move from room to room, optimizing technology use within teams. In addition to being mobile, some stands come with height adjustment options, allowing the interactive display to be better suited to the specific needs of users.
The prices for the basic mobile stand start from €379 excluding VAT.
The price of the manually height-adjustable mobile stand is €579 excluding VAT.
The price of the electrically height-adjustable mobile stand is €749 excluding VAT.
4. The adjustable support
Adjustable stands are equipped with wheels and height adjustment like other stands, but their key differentiator is their ability to tilt, transforming them into a truly giant interactive table. Choosing an adjustable stand for your Speechi interactive screen allows for greater flexibility in your workflow.
The flexibility of the adjustable stand allows teachers to quickly switch from a vertical presentation to a flat interactive whiteboard, ideal for drawing, diagramming, and map analysis. For businesses, the ability to change the screen's orientation makes meetings more interactive. You can also choose between a height-adjustable or non-height-adjustable stand, depending on the specific needs of the users.
The adjustable stand is priced at €449 excluding VAT.
Adjustable and height-adjustable supports start from €999 excluding VAT.
