Schools, training rooms and boardrooms in Qatar that need one large screen for a whole room will find it a practical fit. Request a quote to plan delivery and installation.

An 86-inch board built on the Google education stack

The BenQ Board Essential RE8604 is part of the RE04 series and gives a classroom or meeting room a large touch surface that runs Android 14 on the board itself. Its EDLA certification allows the board to use Google core apps and services, including the Google Play Store, so teachers can install education apps and open Google Drive and Meet without bringing in a separate computer.

Panel and touch figures that shape daily use

The 86-inch IPS panel delivers 3840 x 2160 UHD resolution with 10-bit colour, 450 nits typical brightness and a 1200:1 typical contrast ratio. Its anti-glare glass with 9H tempered hardness helps where windows let in daylight. Precision IR touch supports up to 40 touch points, and the panel's 8 ms response time keeps handwriting and dragging smooth when several students write at once.

Connectivity: three HDMI 2.0 inputs, one HDMI 2.0 output, a DisplayPort 1.2 input, VGA, USB-C with 65 W power delivery, USB-A and USB-B for touch, an OPS slot, Gigabit Ethernet, RS-232 and optical S/PDIF out.
Power: AC 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz, typical consumption of 106.8 W and standby below 0.5 W, with ENERGY STAR listing.
Environment: operating range 0 to 40 °C, 20 to 80% non-condensing humidity and IP5X dust protection.
Size and mounting: 1961.8 x 1179.7 x 87.7 mm, 63.4 kg unit weight (80.2 kg shipping), VESA 800 x 600 mm with four M8 screws.

Where the RE8604 fits in Qatar

A private school in Al Wakrah fitting out a large classroom can use the 86-inch format for whole-class lessons, with three HDMI inputs for a teacher laptop and other sources, switched with the included remote. In a training room in Education City or Doha, EZWrite 6.0 can run the lesson while InstaShare 2 lets participants cast from their own devices, and remote attendees can join through Google Meet. A boardroom in West Bay can use the board for presentations and meetings, while X-Sign Broadcast sends announcements to other BenQ displays on the same network.

What to plan before installation

At 63.4 kg, the panel needs a wall structure able to carry its weight and at least two people to lift it, so a free site survey before wall mounting is sensible. The panel uses a VESA 800 x 600 mm pattern, which your installer should check against the wall. Because the operating range stops at 40 °C, place the board in an air-conditioned room away from direct sun through windows, not in an unventilated store or an exposed lobby, where Qatar summer temperatures above 45 °C can push conditions beyond the limit. The power supply accepts 100-240 V, which covers Qatar's 240 V mains, but your installer should still confirm cable routing, socket position and plug arrangement. Schools and public bodies ordering several units can raise a purchase order or LPO, or follow a government tender through Monaqasat.

Questions about RE8604

What is the BenQ RE8604 and who is it suited to?

The BenQ RE8604 is an 86-inch interactive flat panel from the BenQ Board Essential RE04 series, built mainly for education. It suits public and private schools, universities and training centres, and it also works in corporate meeting rooms that need a large touch display. A large classroom or lecture room in Lusail or Al Wakrah gains most from the 86-inch screen and 40-point touch.

What does EDLA certification mean for this board?

EDLA stands for Enterprise Devices Licensing Agreement, a Google certification that lets solution providers use Google core apps and services, including the Google Play Store. On the RE8604 it means teachers can install education apps from Google Play and open Google Drive and Meet directly on the board, which runs Android 14. Ask your IT team which Google Workspace accounts they plan to sync before ordering.

What are the panel resolution, brightness and colour specifications?

The panel is an 86-inch IPS display at 3840 x 2160 UHD resolution in a 16:9 landscape format, with 10-bit colour depth. Typical brightness is 450 nits, typical contrast is 1200:1 and dynamic contrast is 30,000:1. The colour gamut is listed as 68% NTSC. The anti-glare glass helps in rooms with daylight, though a room with windows facing the sun still benefits from blinds.

How many touch points does it support and how does touch connect?

The board uses Precision IR touch with up to 40 touch points, so several students can write or drag at the same time. Panel response time is listed as 8 ms and touch response time as under 5 ms. Touch input runs through the USB-B ports, and a 3 m USB-B cable for touch is included with the board.

Which connections should I plan for a laptop, a second source and a PC?

The RE8604 offers three HDMI 2.0 inputs, one HDMI 2.0 output, one DisplayPort 1.2 input and one VGA input. The USB-C port carries data, audio and video and provides 65 W charging for a teacher's laptop. A single OPS slot takes a slot-in PC. The included cables are 3 m VGA, 3 m HDMI, 3 m USB-B and 1.5 m USB-C, so check the reach from the board to the teaching position.

Can I install a slot-in PC instead of relying on Android?

Yes, the board has one OPS slot for a slot-in PC, and the OPS side provides two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections. This suits a school or company that needs Windows-based software on the same panel. Confirm the compatibility of the OPS module you need with SmartRooms Qatar before ordering, and ask for it to be included in your quotation.

Can it handle Qatar's summer heat and dust?

The operating range is 0 to 40 °C with 20 to 80% non-condensing humidity, and storage is rated from -10 to 60 °C. With summer temperatures above 45 °C in Qatar, keep the board in an air-conditioned room, away from sunlit windows and exposed lobbies. The screen is listed with IP5X dust protection, but keeping the room's air conditioning and filters serviced still matters.

How heavy is it, and what does wall installation in a West Bay boardroom involve?

The unit weighs 63.4 kg, or 80.2 kg in shipping packaging, and measures 1961.8 x 1179.7 x 87.7 mm. It uses a VESA 800 x 600 mm pattern with four M8 screws, and a wall mount is included. Two people should handle lifting, and a free site survey lets SmartRooms Qatar check the wall, the lift route and the cable path before installation day.

Does it work with Qatar's 240 V power supply?

The stated power range is AC 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz, which includes Qatar's 240 V mains. Typical consumption is 106.8 W and standby is below 0.5 W. Qatar uses BS 1363 (Type G) sockets, so your installer should confirm the socket position and plug arrangement for the board's location before fixing the mount.

How do teachers share content from their own devices?

InstaShare 2 lets participants cast content wirelessly from their own devices to the board and interact with it from anywhere in the room. Host controls let the teacher accept or reject sharing requests and show or hide screens. Media sharing supports photos, videos and live camera feeds, so a training group in Msheireb can present from a tablet without touching the board.

How does IT manage several boards across one school or company?

The software suite includes DMS for device management and AMS for account management. A central console installs, updates and removes apps, pushes firmware updates and automates startup and shutdown. User lists can sync with Google Workspace, Entra ID, ClassLink, LDAP or SAML sources. X-Sign Broadcast sends announcements to all BenQ displays and can show prayer reminders across classrooms.

How do we buy this board through SmartRooms Qatar for a school or government body?

Request a quote for the BenQ RE8604 and SmartRooms Qatar will usually send a quotation within one working day. Public schools and government bodies can issue a purchase order or LPO, and tenders listed on Monaqasat are supported. Payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order.
