iiyama TE6515A-B2AG 65-inch 4K interactive display

They share the chassis, the 1489.1 x 911.8 x 87.1mm dimensions, the 43.5kg weight, the connector set, the speakers, the microphone and the same iiWare 21E build on Android 14. Four things separate them. This B2AG uses a VA panel with 5000:1 static contrast against the B1AG's 1200:1 and a faster 6.5ms response against 8ms, and it draws 170W typical against 195W. The B1AG uses an IPS panel, which keeps colour more consistent for people seated off to the side, and carries 16GB of RAM against this model's 8GB. Pick the B2AG for video-led content and a room you can darken, the B1AG for a wide room and heavier multitasking.

Consider it for a classroom, a training room or a meeting room where people write on the board rather than only watch it, where the content leans on video, photographs or dark diagrams, and where the display needs to work on its own without a PC. At 65 inches it suits a standard-sized room; measure the furthest reading position against the smallest text you use before settling on that size.

Because a board is looked at from angles a desk monitor never is. A VA panel of the kind used here blocks light better when a pixel is off, so blacks are deeper and the picture has more punch, especially with the lights down. An IPS panel of the kind used in the B1AG keeps colour and tone more consistent as you move off to the side, which suits rows of seats along the walls. iiyama publishes no viewing-angle figure for either model in its current specification, so treat this as a difference in panel behaviour rather than a number to compare.

No. iiWare 21E runs on the display's own Android 14 system with a whiteboard, the iiBrowser web browser, a file manager, cloud drive access and iiShare wireless sharing built in, plus EShare for connecting Windows, iOS and Android devices. A laptop connects over HDMI, DisplayPort or USB-C when you want to work from your own files, and an Intel OPS 80-pin module can be fitted in the rear slot if you want a full Windows PC behind the screen.

It means the display is licensed to run Google's mobile services, so managed Google accounts, the Google app catalogue and Google sign-in work natively on the panel rather than through a workaround. For a school or an organisation already on Google Workspace, that is what lets the board be enrolled and managed like any other device. Confirm your account policy and licences with your IT team, as those are separate from the hardware.

iiyama lists 40 touch points with 32-point writing on a supported operating system and 32-point touch under Android, quoted to +- 1mm accuracy, with palm rejection. This variant adds a 200Hz scan rate and a 5ms touch response time, which is what keeps ink under the tip during fast handwriting. Touch works with the four supplied dual-tip pens, a finger, a gloved hand or any opaque object, over a USB touch interface back to a connected PC.

It ships with iiWare 21E on Android 14. iiyama lists a later Android release for this series as a future roadmap item rather than a shipped version, so plan around Android 14 and ask us to confirm the build installed on your delivery if a particular app or policy depends on it.

Yes. The USB-C input carries DisplayPort 1.2 alternate mode video at 3840 x 2160 and 60Hz, touch data back to the laptop, and 100W of power delivery on a single lead. Your laptop and cable both have to support DisplayPort over USB-C, and a machine that draws more than 100W will still want its own charger. There are also two HDMI 2.0 inputs with ARC on the first, a DisplayPort 1.2 input, HDMI and USB-C outputs, and RS-232c for control.

Two 20W front-facing speakers with a 20W subwoofer on the back, an 8-array microphone rated for 8m voice pick-up, optical S/PDIF and a headphone jack. Sensors cover ambient light, an NFC reader, PIR motion and pen pick-up, which is what lets the display wake and switch to writing mode without anyone touching a menu. Networking is built-in WiFi 6E with Bluetooth 5.0, a step up from the WiFi 6 radio in the B1AG, plus two gigabit RJ45 ports wired as in and out with auto switching between the PC and the Android system.

iiyama lists 170W typical, 0.5W in standby and 0.3W in off mode, on an internal power supply running from 100V to 240V AC at 50Hz to 60Hz, in energy efficiency class G. The components are rated for 24/7 operation, though iiyama recommends not exceeding 18 hours a day for longevity, and it is a fanless design rated from 0 to 40 degrees C with a 50,000 hour MTBF excluding the backlight. That 170W is 25W less than the B1AG, which is worth factoring in if you are fitting several displays on one circuit.
