Interactive displays are transforming the way we teach and collaborate — bringing lessons and presentations to life with engaging, hands-on technology. But with a growing number of options available, it's important to make an informed decision.
In this post, we’ll take a look at two popular models — the Promethean ActivPanel 10 Premium and the ActivPanel 10 Standard — to help you decide which one is the best fit for your space and your needs.
1. Display Resolution
Both the ActivPanel 10 Premium and the ActivPanel 10 offer stunning 4K Ultra HD resolution across all available sizes, ensuring clear visuals, sharp text, and vibrant colours — ideal for everything from detailed diagrams to video content.
While resolution quality is identical across both models, the Premium version includes a 55″ size option in addition to the 65″, 75″, and 86″ sizes available with both displays. This gives users a slightly broader range of sizes to choose from, especially where space may be limited.
2. Price
As expected, the ActivPanel 10 Premium comes at a higher price point than the Standard model. The increased cost reflects its enhanced performance and additional features. If you’re working within a tight budget, the ActivPanel 10 Standard provides strong functionality at a more affordable price.

3. Educational Resources
Both the ActivPanel 10 and ActivPanel 10 Premium come equipped with Promethean ActivSuite™, a comprehensive suite of educational applications designed to enhance teaching and learning experiences. This suite includes tools such as:
Whiteboard – An intuitive app for creating and delivering interactive lessons
Annotate – Allows educators to write and draw over any content displayed on the screen
Timer and Spinner – Engaging tools to manage classroom activities and encourage participation
Screen Share – Facilitates the sharing of content from various devices to the panel
These applications are compatible with Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS, ensuring seamless integration regardless of your preferred operating system.
Each ActivPanel 10 purchase includes two licenses for Promethean ActivSuite, valid for five years, allowing educators to access these tools both at the panel and on their personal devices.
Additionally, the ActivPanel 10 Premium offers enhanced features such as the ActivPen® 2 and an All-in-One Remote, providing educators with greater flexibility to interact with the panel from anywhere in the classroom.
4. Touch Technology
The ActivPanel 10 Premium features Vellum® touch technology, engineered for highly responsive, precise interactions. With smooth pen-on-paper feel, enhanced pressure sensitivity, and palm rejection, it’s ideal for educators who frequently write, draw, or annotate during lessons. It also supports up to 50 simultaneous touch points, making multi-user collaboration seamless.
The standard ActivPanel 10 uses dependable infrared touch technology with 40 touch points, offering solid performance for everyday use. While both panels are designed for classroom interactivity, the Premium model delivers a more refined, natural writing experience — particularly valuable in high-use or fast-paced teaching environments.
5. Overall Performance
Both the ActivPanel 10 and ActivPanel 10 Premium offer reliable performance for modern classrooms, sharing the same operating system, user interface, and core teaching tools. The standard model supports up to 40 simultaneous touch points, providing solid multi-user interaction for everyday lessons and collaboration.
The Premium model adds hardware upgrades like support for up to 50 touch points, a stronger audio system, better connectivity, and includes accessories such as the ActivPen® 2 and All-in-One Remote. These features enhance interactivity, sound, and classroom control, making it ideal for more active or larger learning environments.
