They are built for different rooms. The LG CreateBoard TR3DQ is a teaching display first: Android 14 with Google EDLA certification, two pens, writing and casting tools designed for lessons, and no built-in camera. The MAXHUB XBoard V7 is a meeting room system first: a Windows board with three 50MP cameras, a 16-microphone array and a slot for an Intel PC module, designed to run video calls without extra hardware. If the room's main job is teaching, the CreateBoard is simpler and usually far less costly. If its main job is hybrid meetings, the XBoard does work the CreateBoard would need several add-ons for. At SourceIT the 75-inch CreateBoard 75TR3DQ-B is listed at S$2,855.00 (listed 31 Oct 2026); MAXHUB XBoard pricing is on request.

What makes a display "education first"?
Teaching displays are designed around one person leading a room and pupils coming up to write. The priorities are pens that feel natural, simple casting from pupils' devices, apps teachers already use and central management across many classrooms. LG's CreateBoard Suite covers lesson delivery, casting, device management and remote updates, and the January 2026 launch release added an NFC reader for secure login and teacher profiles. Google EDLA certification means Google Play and Google apps run on the board itself, which matters to schools already on Google Workspace for Education.
What a teaching display usually lacks is conferencing hardware. The CreateBoard has no camera or microphone array, so a hybrid lesson needs a separate webcam or video bar. For many classrooms that is fine. Our post LG CreateBoard Review: Is This the Smartest Classroom Upgrade in 2026? covers the classroom case in more detail.
What makes a display "meeting room first"?
Meeting room boards are designed around remote participants. The camera has to frame everyone, the microphones have to pick up the far end of the table and the board has to start a Teams or Zoom call reliably. MAXHUB's V7 datasheet lists auto framing, speaker tracking, an intelligent audio fence and AI noise cancellation. It runs Windows through a pluggable PC module, so Windows meeting apps and business software run on the board. For Microsoft Teams Rooms specifically, MAXHUB sells separate XBoard for Teams Rooms models (Vxx5T) running Windows 11 IoT. We look at the V7 in MAXHUB XBoard V7 Review: Can One Display Replace Your Entire Meeting Room AV Setup?
A classroom display is built for the people in the room. A meeting room board is built for the people who are not.
Can either one do the other's job?
- CreateBoard in a meeting room: workable for a small room if you add a USB video bar and run meetings from a laptop or casting. It will not be a certified Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms system.
- XBoard V7 in a classroom: workable, and the cameras help hybrid and recorded lessons. But it runs Windows rather than Android, so it has no Google Play, and it is a more expensive class of product than a teaching panel.
- MAXHUB for education: MAXHUB also makes dedicated education ranges. SourceIT lists the MAXHUB U4 Education, Education S series, E series, B8620 Smart Blackboard and SL22MC Smart Lectern, all on request. Compare those with the CreateBoard rather than the XBoard if teaching is the priority.
Which should you choose?
- Mostly face-to-face teaching: CreateBoard TR3DQ, with a webcam for occasional hybrid lessons.
- Training rooms and lecture-style hybrid sessions: either, depending on whether Google apps or built-in conferencing matter more.
- Boardrooms and hybrid meeting rooms: XBoard V7, or the Teams Rooms model if you use Microsoft Teams Rooms.
- A school standardised on Windows: consider MAXHUB's education range or a CreateBoard with a Windows OPS PC.
