Microsoft Unveils Bigger Surface Hub 2 85-inch Model

Microsoft is creating an even larger version of its new Surface Hub 2 hardware. At a news conference in New York today, the software company is unveiling a larger 85-inch Surface Hub 2 model. Unlike the smaller 50-inch version, this larger model features a 16: 9 screen more in line with the original Surface Hub. Microsoft is using a 3: 2 aspect ratio on its new 50-inch Surface Hub 2S.

While the smaller Surface Hub 2 can be tiled with up to four 50-inch side-by-side panels, this larger 85-inch model is designed for businesses looking for something even bigger. Surface chef, Panos Panay, introduced the new 85-inch model today and briefly showed it sandwiched between two 50-inch versions. Microsoft does not provide an exact price for this larger Surface Hub 2 model, but only for 2020.

Microsoft today launches its $ 9,000 Surface Hub 2S model, which includes a removable cartridge that will be upgraded next year. Microsoft will provide an upgrade cartridge (Surface Hub 2X), which will enhance Surface Hub 2's processor, RAM, and graphics processor and update it to a newer operating system. Features such as the rotation and mosaic of four Surface Hub 2 screens will also be enabled with this 2X Cartridge. You can read our complete practice with the Surface Hub 2 for more information.
