Samsung Flip 2 WM55R 55 Inch Digital Flipchart for Business 4K UHD 3840x2160 with Touch Screen, Wi-Fi, HDMI, USB (LH55WMRWBGCXZA), Light Gray

I'm not sure why this device doesn't have a lot of amazing ratings, but this thing is absolutely awesome! I spent a few weeks researching digital whiteboards, touch screen tvs, and even devices that allowed your to convert TVs into touch screens. The majority of the options were clunky, required additional hardware/software, and some looked very outdated and specifically designed for a classroom.I came across the first version of the Samsung Flip earlier this year and I was impressed by its ability to share, modify, and edit just about anything. My only gripe is the inability to minimize your browser and work back and forth between the whiteboard and the browser. However, this thing serves so many purposes!I teach and present from this board when working remotely.It acts a third "INTERACTIVE" monitor for my laptop or desktop.I can use Microsoft Whiteboard seamlessly on it and it allows remote collaboration via Microsoft Whiteboard when using it as an wireless monitor/displayThe best part is that I've configured it to connect to my network storage, which provides me with even more storage. I can save my projects directly to the storage and connect to them from anywhere.So this thing is a beast. But there is a learning curve for non-technical users. However, its minimal design starts to catch on really quick.If you are in IT, education, media, or simply want an excuse to have a device that also serves as a TV in your office, this product is for your.Lastly, I would suggest buying the Mount-It! TV Wall Mount Landscape to Portrait Rotation, Fixed Mounting Bracket. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MHGCSK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Got this product as a calendar and an interactive map. Specs are vague about what types of files work. Most important shutterstock standard JPG map file, that works in all other environments, see for example the photo attached, but does not work on this device. Provided all resources to support personnel, and escallated to "engineering level" no response for over one month: we call in weekly -- overly corporate. Do not recommend this unit due to lack of support. Understandable why the price decreased since we purchased two months ago.

I purchased this to use for a non-profit during expositions to allow little kids to draw on it. Took it to the first event and the kids LOVED it! The software was easy to use and it can do some pretty cool things - like importing pictures, documents, videos, etc and allow you to draw over them. Kids played with it for hours and it only locked up once. I bought the stand and the dock. I would recommend the dock for connecting cables and putting in USB drives. The stand is ok - it is very sturdy and allows to move from portrait to landscape easily. I give the stand four stars because the first time we tried to fold it up, the locking pins fell out, not a huge deal because the send you screws to really lock it into place. The screen itself is 5 stars so far. This device is not meant to be mobile It is very heavy, both the screen and stand. It is fine for an office with an elevator, but not a great device to take to events. I am going to rig something on a new stand so it is easier to travel.

I own the WM55H myself and I use one WM55R and a few WM65R at work, so I have some experience with the old and new versions and the differences between them.First, what I like.Both the previous and the new model have the same passive pen made of wood. Two tips serve a different purpose - draw and highlight. As passive stencils, there are no batteries and no charging. The new model has stencils with a piece of metal in them and two dedicated places on the screen frame to hang the stencils, something I really miss with the old model.The "blackboard" mode is very unusual. It's nothing more than background and the H model has more of them of a different colour, and also rosters and other things they call "templates". Those are, basically, fixed backgrounds for the board that cannot be moved and erased. The blackboard model, however, is a bit different. It also changes the palette and uses brighter colours that look better when writing on black. And, of course, the default colour is white instead of black.Erasing by hand is awesome. I used ProWise and Surface Hub (1st gen) and both are painful when it comes to good UX with erasing content. The palm detection, however, often fails because of this feature, so it's hard to start writing whilst keeping your palm on the screen. Flip software thinks that you're erasing and doesn't let you draw. I personally never experienced this issue because I don't put my palm on the screen when I write, but colleagues have such a complaint.The H model has some new features like those templates that I mentioned, which I never use. The brush mode looks and feels awesome but it's more for artists and designers, so I never use the feature. Some other new things are very useful. First, the new model has a proper HDMI output so you can project to a larger screen or use a capture card for remote presentations. With the old model, I have to use the Miracast adapter. The issue with the Miracast adapter that they enforce HDCP on all the content and most of the capture cards block the signal as "copyrighted content". It's not really Flip-specific, more like a flaw in the Miracast standard. Other great new things are select-copy-paste, embed screenshot to the roll, web browser (!), Office 365 import, use the current screen as a screensaver. I am sure I am missing some of the new great features, but those that I remember and find particularly useful.I also like the responsiveness of the touch screen and overall feel of the whiteboard. Again, ProWise screens are really bad compared to Flip and Surface Hub 1st Gen has similar experience but the erasing part is confusing, plus it doesn't store your work because it operates in "session" mode, so unless you share by email or OneDrive, everything is gone when the session ends. Flip, however, is designed for less "formal" environments perhaps, and by default, everything is saved and open for everyone. You can protect individual rolls by password if you don't want your work to be seen by others. For me it is the best compromise between security and usability, using opt-in protection instead of risking to lose your work.Samsung also cooperated with a third-party and provides the touch support via USB also for Mac computers. The H model also started to support touch input in window mode, as for the R model it only works in full-screen.Some controversial features.Flip operates with rolls and tries to emulate an endless flipchart. However, we almost exclusively use it in landscape format and scrolling left-right might be tiring. Again, Surface Hub 1st allows you to have an unlimited drawing space but you have to zoom in and out and move across that endless canvas. Often I see the scale of the drawing changing since you draw on a single window and cannot see how it compares with the rest of the canvas. It become really awkward at times. Flip has no zoom in or out, nor it has an unlimited canvas in all the directions. The scale is fixed and you can move in one dimension only. It felt a bit limiting and awkward at the beginning but I noticed we never had diagrams that are using different scales anymore.Finally, what I don't like:The configuration can be awkward in many places. Address book integration only works with LDAP and you have to ask your IT department to configure it. I am not a novice in those things but you need to know a lot about your org LDAP configuration to make it work. Finally, if you use something like G-Suite as I do, it becomes an impossible challenge. Luckily, Flip saves email addresses after you send a single roll to them and you can reuse those addresses later.The R model has issues with multi-AP mesh multi-band WiFi, I had no chance to test the H model in such environment yet.Configuring share by email is also not the best experience. They could've just integrated with the most popular email services like they do with Samsung phones. No, they as you to configure SMTP with all the things like TLS, server name and port and so on. It can be hard. For example, I use SendGrid for sending emails and they ask me to use the API key, which is like 50 characters long. I tried a few times, also connecting the keyboard to the Flip and I couldn't make it work.Share to a network drive is even worse. It requires Samba protocol but it uses a Linux-style configuration. The R version didn't even support hostnames, only IP addresses. There's no network browser or anything like that. Samsung should've integrated with the most popular cloud storages like Dropbox, OneDrive and so on, it would've been much better experience. I ended up sharing all my rolls by email.Finally, Flip is really lacking the remote collaborative mode. What would it take them to connect two Flips together via the Internet and let people draw at the same time? Maybe add a webcam too? It would've been a completely different level. Again, the Surface Hub 1gen has the Microsoft Whiteboard app and theoretically, you can even share the board with remote colleagues for real-time collaboration. But Microsoft Whiteboard is n/a for private accounts and you must have Office365 with the Whiteboard app enabled. Plus, the "session" mode forces you to log in to your AD account and if you use generated password it becomes too cumbersome, so the feature is practically useless. Samsung had a good chance to win there but they didn't, bummer!Finally, one review mentioned that online collaboration is a false promise of Samsung intro videos. I studied their Flip page and found nothing that promises the remote sharing, so I think it's a misunderstanding. Another review mentions poor drawing quality and Surface Hub as the alternative. After using Surface Hub for a couple of years and now using Flip, I'd say that Flip does the job and in most aspects, it does it better. It's more intuitive and easier to use. My kid loves drawing on Flip and I am quite sure he would be having hard time with Surface Hub. One last thing is that you get what you paid for. It's unfair to expect "enterprise-grade" features and such from a device that costs like a normal TV screen.
