The SMART Board MX286-V5 (model number SBID-MX286-V5) is SMART Technologies' 86" flagship education display for 2025–2026. It is the largest and most feature-complete model in the MX V5 series. Here is everything you need to know before purchasing.

Quick Specs

Key Features Explained

HyPr Touch — 40-Point Multi-Touch

The MX286-V5 uses SMART's HyPr Touch technology — a zero-bonded glass multi-touch layer that supports up to 40 simultaneous touch points. In a classroom, this means an entire group can interact with the display at the same time without touch conflicts. The zero-bonded construction eliminates the parallax gap between the glass and the LCD, giving a natural feel similar to writing on paper.

Integrated Microphone Array

The 8-microphone array built into the MX286-V5 is a significant differentiator from other interactive displays. It means the display itself functions as a conference microphone for hybrid classes and meetings — no external mic required. The array uses beamforming to suppress background noise and focus on the teacher's voice.

NFC and QR Sign-In

Teachers tap their NFC-enabled phone to the display or scan the QR code on screen — their SMART account loads instantly, including their saved lessons and settings. This eliminates the login friction that slows down class startups when every teacher uses the same shared display.

WiFi 6E

WiFi 6E adds the 6GHz band to WiFi 6 (which only supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz). In dense school environments with hundreds of student devices, the 6GHz band provides uncongested connectivity. This matters in schools where dozens of displays are deployed and student Chromebooks compete for bandwidth.
