Surface Hub 2S 85"

What the 85-inch Surface Hub 2S is and who it suits

The 85-inch Surface Hub 2S is a large touch-enabled collaboration board for boardrooms, lecture halls and big meeting rooms where a group needs to view, annotate and join calls from one surface. It combines a 4K display, a built-in compute cartridge and a 4K camera, so most of the equipment sits in one unit rather than in a separate PC and conferencing kit.

Discontinued model. Microsoft has discontinued the Surface Hub 2S, and its successor in the family is the Surface Hub 3. This page is written for organisations that already run this 85-inch board, for buyers comparing it with newer models and for anyone seeking a replacement. Request a quote for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement, and we will check the room against it before you commit.

Display, touch and camera facts that shape the room

The panel has a 16:9 aspect ratio with 3840 x 2160 resolution, an anti-glare IPS LCD and in-cell touch that tracks 20 touch points at once. Typical brightness is 280 nits and typical contrast is 1000:1, with an 800:1 minimum. That brightness suits rooms with controlled lighting. A room with strong daylight through a glass wall needs a lighting check during the site survey.

• 4K camera on USB-C with a 90-degree horizontal field of view
• Microphone array certified for Teams pickup up to 3.5 metres away
• Three-way stereo speakers with mid-high and mid-low drivers
• Doppler occupancy sensor for detecting people in the room

Compute, ports and software for hybrid meetings

The modular compute cartridge carries a quad-core 8th Generation Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM and a 128GB SSD, with Intel UHD Graphics 620. Inputs include HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 support and a USB-C port with DisplayPort input. The output is Mini DisplayPort 1.2. Three USB-C ports sit on the display, and USB-A and gigabit Ethernet RJ45 are also provided. Wireless covers Wi-Fi 5 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac), Bluetooth 5.0 and Miracast. The software runs on Windows 10 Team OS with Microsoft Teams for Surface Hub, Skype for Business, Microsoft Whiteboard, Office Mobile and Power BI.

Planning weight, power and cooling before installation

At 1,130 mm x 1,959 mm x 85.6 mm and 84 kg (185 lb), the panel is wide and heavy. The shipping weight is 181 kg in a crate measuring 2,275 mm x 1,573 mm x 580 mm, so confirm the delivery route, lift access and wall or stand structure with a free site survey before ordering. The input is rated 110/220 V nominal with a 90-265 V maximum, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz supply. Operating draw is 665 W (745 W surge), standby draw is 5 W maximum and the listed heat output is 2,047 BTU/hr, which belongs in the room's cooling plan. The source data gives no operating temperature range, so confirm the room environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installation.

Where it fits in Qatar

• Boardroom in West Bay: executives join calls with teams abroad while reviewing documents on the shared surface.
• Lecture hall in Education City: lecturers annotate slides directly while remote students join through the camera.
• Government meeting room in Msheireb: a Sunday to Thursday working week with Arabic and English presentations on one board.
