TopAV buying advice
Is the SMART GX186G-V4-5A right for your classroom?
For halls and wide classrooms where the back row has to read the board.
Shortlist the 86-inch GX Plus when the room is long or wide enough that a 75-inch panel leaves the back rows squinting, and when a teacher should be able to walk up, sign in and start the lesson from the board rather than from a wheeled computer. The embedded Android 14 system carries the Google Play Store, so a school installs the apps it already licenses, and the front USB-C, HDMI and USB-A ports mean a visiting laptop still connects in one move. The panel is rated at 400 cd/m2, which suits a room where blinds or lighting can be controlled rather than a glazed atrium. The extra size adds reach and weight, not resolution: it shares the same 3840 x 2160 panel as the 75-inch model.
Reasons to shortlist it
- The embedded Android 14 system is Google Play Protect Certified and carries the Google Play Store, so a school installs the apps it already licenses and runs lessons without adding an external PC.
- Advanced infrared touch tracks up to 50 touch points, depending on the operating system in use, with a typical touch response of 5 ms or less, 1 mm accuracy and a 2 mm minimum object size, so a group of pupils can work across the full width of an 86-inch board at once.
- One front USB-C cable carries 4K at 60Hz video, touch, digital audio and up to 65W of power delivery to a teacher's laptop, and a second USB-C at the rear supplies up to 15W for a camera or other accessory.
- Two integrated 20W speakers, three HDMI 2.1 inputs (one front, two rear) and a rear OPS slot rated at 90W cover lesson audio, several sources and an optional Windows module without extra boxes on the wall.
- We are a SMART Platinum partner, so warranty claims and replacements go through us rather than a queue.
Check before you choose
- At 86 inches the panel weighs about 64 kg and ships in a box roughly 214 cm wide, so check the delivery route, doorways and lift access as well as the wall. In a smaller classroom the 75-inch GX175G-V4 is usually the better fit, and it draws 90W typical against 119W here.
- The box holds the display, two pens, a remote control, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antennas and cables, not a PC. Budget separately for the mount, installation, any OPS Windows module and a camera. SMART lists no built-in microphone on this series, so video calls need a separate microphone or room system.
- Object Awareness and simultaneous tool differentiation require a connected computer running SMART Product Drivers, and SMART supports them in SMART Notebook and SMART Ink. Confirm with your IT team which machines will carry the drivers, and agree Google account policies and app licences, before rollout.
See the 86" on your wall, to scale
On a phone, point your camera at the wall and see the 86" there at its real size. On a computer, upload a photo of the wall (or scan the QR code to take one with your phone and it will appear here) and drag the display around it to scale.
Not sure 86" is the right size for the room? The screen size calculator shows how far a 86" display carries for presentations, touch work and video.
What to plan before installing the GX186G-V4-5A
01
Size & sightlines
Measure the longest viewing distance and the smallest text pupils need to read. Check too that the lower part of the glass stays within reach once the board is high enough for the back row to see it.
02
Mount & delivery
The panel weighs about 64 kg and needs two people or more to handle, so check wall construction, the delivery route, mounting height, a 100V to 240V supply and data. Leave room around the display for ventilation. SMART lists a 800 x 600 mm (M8) VESA pattern.
03
Software & accounts
Decide whether lessons run on the embedded Android system or a connected laptop, and confirm SMART Notebook, SMART Product Drivers and Google account sign-in with your IT team. Tell us if you need mounting, cabling or a camera.
Display price is for the panel. Installation and optional equipment are quoted separately. Purchase-order terms are available to approved education customers.
Build a quote you can compare
Include these details in your project enquiry so the quote covers the room as well as the screen.
- Number of displays, site postcode and required date.

SMART GX186G-V4-5A questions answered
Who is the SMART Board GX086-V4 Plus best suited to?
Consider it for a hall, a wide classroom or a large upper-school room where a 75-inch board would be too small for the back rows, and where a teacher wants a board that works without a separate computer. Measure the longest viewing distance first; in a standard classroom the 75-inch model is usually enough.
Does the GX Plus need a computer to work?
No. The Android system is embedded in the display, with a digital whiteboard, web browser, screen sharing, an app library and the Google Play Store, so it runs lessons on its own. A laptop connects over USB-C or HDMI when a teacher wants their own files, and a SMART OPS PC module can be fitted in the rear slot for a fixed Windows machine.
Which version of Android does it run?
Android 14.0, listed by SMART as forward compatible, on an octa-core 64-bit processor with over-the-air updates. Confirm the version installed on your delivery with us if a particular app or management policy depends on it.
Does it include the Google Play Store?
Yes. SMART lists the embedded operating system as Google Play Protect Certified with the Google Play Store, and the order description for this model reads 'interactive display with embedded OS (GMS)', meaning Google Mobile Services are included. That lets a school install and sign in to the Google apps it already uses.
Can I connect a laptop with a single USB-C cable?
Yes. The front USB-C port carries 4K at 60Hz video over DisplayPort alternate mode, touch data, digital audio and up to 65W of power delivery, so one cable connects and charges most laptops. Your laptop and cable must support DisplayPort over USB-C, and a laptop needing more than 65W may still need its own charger. A 1.8 m USB-C cable is supplied.
How many people can use the GX086-V4 Plus at once?
SMART lists up to 50 touch points, depending on the operating system in use, on an advanced infrared touch system. Two pens are supplied with magnetic frame-mounted holders, and the extra width of an 86-inch panel gives more pupils room to work side by side than the 75-inch model.
Does it have a built-in microphone or camera?
No. SMART's specification for this series lists two integrated 20W speakers but no microphone and no camera, so a room used for video calls needs a separate microphone, camera or all-in-one bar. The rear USB-C port supplies up to 15W and the USB-A ports can carry a camera you add.
How much power does the 86-inch model use?
SMART lists 119W typical for the 86-inch panel and 0.2W on standby, against 90W typical for the 75-inch version. The display carries ENERGY STAR among its performance standards and runs on a 100V to 240V, 50Hz to 60Hz supply.
How much memory and storage does it have?
8 GB of DDR4 memory and 64 GB of storage, expandable to 576 GB with a microSD card in the rear slot, as listed on SMART's specification sheet.
Should I choose the 86-inch GX086-V4 Plus or the 75-inch GX075-V4 Plus?
Choose by viewing distance and the smallest text people need to read, not by room capacity alone. Both share the same 3840 x 2160 resolution, 400 cd/m2 brightness, touch system and ports, so the 86-inch panel adds reach rather than detail, and it is heavier, wider to deliver and draws more power. One difference worth noting: SMART lists its TUV Low Blue Light certification for the 75-inch size only.
