Compare current 65-inch listings

These are the BenQ RE6505E and Clevertouch IMPACT Lux listings. They are different generations and feature tiers, so a display-price gap is not a measure of classroom value. Confirm the exact SKU, supplied software, management terms and warranty on an itemised quote.

Current catalogue prices, including VAT, for the display only. Delivery and installation depend on the order. Prices can change; check the product page and your itemised quote. The larger model is not necessarily the more expensive option.

Start with the teacher’s lesson workflow

Consider BenQ RE05E

EZWrite and BenQ management

BenQ positions Board Essential around EZWrite whiteboarding, InstaShare casting and Google-connected lessons. Its newer RE05E platform also advertises directory synchronisation and device management. Shortlist it where those workflows fit the school’s accounts and IT plans.

Consider Clevertouch IMPACT Lux

LYNX and classroom tools

Clevertouch’s IMPACT Lux combines LYNX lesson tools, Clevershare and a classroom launcher. Shortlist it if teachers use that ecosystem or need its particular pen, sharing and lesson-preparation tools. Check which management services remain included after any initial term.

Neither platform should be selected from its app list alone. Have teachers deliver the same lesson on both boards, while IT checks sign-in, sign-out, updates and account permissions.

Common buying questions

Is the Clevertouch model here IMPACT Lux 2?

No. This comparison uses the TopAV listing for 65-inch IMPACT Lux, SKU 1541323. Do not assume Lux 2 specifications or software terms apply. Confirm the generation and order code on your quote.

Do both boards support Google apps?

BenQ lists the RE6505E as Google EDLA certified, and the Clevertouch IMPACT Lux listing describes EDLA access. Test each exact supplied unit with your school’s managed accounts, app licences and network policies.

Can we move LYNX lessons into EZWrite or the reverse?

Do not assume full editing compatibility. Bring representative lesson files to a demonstration and test opening, embedded media, annotation, saving and sharing before choosing a different teaching platform.

Which costs less for a school rollout?

Start with the live display prices, then compare the same size, mounts, cabling, installation, staff training, management licences and support period. Request separate itemised quotes for the same rooms.
