TopAV buying advice
Is the SMART MX286-V5-5A right for your classroom?
For the biggest rooms in the school, where the back row still has to read the board.
Shortlist the 86-inch MX for a hall, a lecture-style upper-school room, a large studio or a deep classroom where the furthest pupil is too far back for a 75-inch screen to work. It gives the whole group a readable 4K image and enough writing width for several pupils at once, on the same 400 cd/m2 optically bonded glass used on the 65 and 75-inch sizes. Plan the installation properly first: this is a 68kg panel that ships at 94kg on its pallet, so it is not a one-person lift and the wall or stand has to be rated for it.
Reasons to shortlist it
- HyPr Touch with Advanced IR tracks up to 50 touch points and tells pen, finger and eraser apart at the same time, with 1 mm accuracy, a 2 mm minimum object size and a typical touch response under 5 ms, so a group can work across the full width of the panel without the board switching tools on them.
- The 86-inch panel runs at 400 cd/m2 behind optically bonded, anti-glare, anti-fingerprint glass, which keeps ink looking like it sits on the surface and holds contrast at the back of a large, daylit room.
- The iQ system runs the lesson without a laptop on 8GB of DDR4 memory and 64GB of storage, expandable to 576GB with a microSD card, and the Google Play Store is available on a Google Play Protect Certified build.
- Four HDMI 2.1 inputs (one front, three rear), a front USB-C carrying video, touch and 27W of charge, a rear USB-C at 65W and a rear OPS slot taking an 85W SMART PCM module, so a visiting laptop and a fixed PC can both stay connected.
- We are a SMART Platinum partner, so warranty claims and replacements go through us rather than a queue.
Check before you choose
- This is the largest size in the series at 68kg, with a 94kg shipping weight, so it needs a structurally sound wall or a heavy-duty rated stand and more than one person to install. In a standard classroom the 75-inch MX275-V5 is usually the better fit, and an 86-inch panel mounted too low or too high is harder to write on comfortably.
- Budget separately for the mount, installation and any Windows OPS module, camera or Tool Explorer accessory kit. The box holds the display, two pens, a remote with batteries, the antennas, two SMART ID cards, a power cable, a 5m USB A to B cable and a 1.8m USB-C cable.
- The front USB-C port delivers 27W, which is enough for a small notebook but not for a laptop that expects 60W or more; that machine will still need its own charger, or the 65W rear USB-C port. At 149W typical the 86-inch also draws the most power in the series, so check the circuit alongside Android version, account policy and any 802.1X network requirements with your IT team.
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 MX286-V5-5A
01
Size & sightlines
Measure the longest viewing distance and the smallest text pupils need to read. At 86 inches also check the shortest distance, because a front row seated close to a panel this large has to look up and across it.
02
Mount & connections
Check wall construction, mounting height, a mains socket and a data point. The panel weighs 68kg and ships at 94kg on its pallet, so confirm the wall or stand is rated for it, plan the delivery route and allow for a multi-person lift. SMART lists a 800 x 600 mm (M8) VESA pattern.
03
Software & installation
Decide whether lessons run on the built-in iQ system or a connected laptop, and confirm SMART Notebook, account sign-in and app licences with your IT team. Tell us if you need mounting, cabling, a camera or an OPS PC module.
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.
- Furthest viewing distance and available wall space.
- Wall type, fixed mount or adjustable trolley, and cable routes.
- Laptop model, teaching apps, and any camera or Windows PC needs.
Ask for separate equipment, delivery, installation and licence costs, with a total including VAT. Confirm warranty coverage and any registration requirements before placing the order.

SMART MX286-V5-5A questions answered
Who is the SMART Board MX286-V5 best suited to?
Consider it for a hall, a large or deep classroom, a lecture-style room or a studio where the furthest pupil cannot comfortably read a 75-inch screen. It is the largest size in the MX series, so it is chosen on viewing distance; a standard-depth classroom is usually better served by the 75-inch MX275-V5.
Does the MX286-V5 need a computer to work?
No. The iQ system is built into the display, with a digital whiteboard, web browser, screen sharing and the Google Play Store, so it runs lessons on its own. A laptop connects over USB-C or HDMI when you want to teach from your own files, and a SMART PCM module can be fitted in the rear OPS slot for a fixed Windows PC.
How heavy is the 86-inch display and what does installation involve?
SMART lists 68kg for the display and 94kg for the shipping weight including the pallet, which is the heaviest in the series. Treat it as a multi-person installation onto a structurally sound wall or a heavy-duty rated stand, and check the delivery route and doorways before the panel arrives.
How many pupils can use the board at once?
SMART lists up to 50 touch points, depending on the operating system in use, with pen, finger and eraser told apart at the same time. Across an 86-inch panel that lets a group write, sort and erase together along the full width of the glass.
Can I connect a laptop with a single USB-C cable?
Yes, with a caveat about power. The front USB-C port carries video, touch data and 27W of power delivery, and the rear USB-C port carries 65W. A laptop that draws more than the port supplies will charge slowly or need its own mains adapter, and your laptop and cable must support DisplayPort over USB-C.
What is the difference between the 86-inch MX286-V5 and the 75-inch MX275-V5?
Size, power draw and weight. Both run at 400 cd/m2 behind optically bonded glass with two 20W speakers, 50 touch points and identical ports, memory and storage; the 86-inch draws 149W typical and weighs 68kg, against 103W and 54kg for the 75-inch. Choose on viewing distance and on what the wall or stand can carry.
How much memory and storage does it have?
8GB of DDR4 memory and 64GB of storage, expandable to 576GB with a microSD card in the rear slot, as listed on SMART's MX (V5) specification sheet.
What sound and microphone hardware is built in?
Two 20W speakers and a linear six-microphone array with onboard acoustic echo cancellation. That covers playback and video calls in a normal room, but a hall or a large, acoustically difficult space at this size will usually want additional audio reinforcement.
Does it include a camera, a Windows PC or the Tool Explorer kit?
Treat all three as separate items. SMART lists the Ultra HD Camera 120, its PCM OPS modules and the MultiStylus with Tool Explorer kit as optional accessories, and the display's rear OPS slot and USB ports are there to take them. Ask for a quote that names the camera, PC module, accessory kit and mount you need.
What power does the MX286-V5 draw?
SMART lists 149W typical for the 86-inch size and 0.2W in standby, and the display carries ENERGY STAR and EPEAT listings. That is the highest figure in the series, so use it rather than a smaller size's number when you plan circuits.
Can TopAV quote for installation and school purchase orders?
Yes. Request a project quote for mounting, cabling and installation, which is quoted separately from the display. Approved education customers can apply for purchase-order terms; eligibility and credit terms are subject to approval.
