The StarBoard is a durable workhorse. Dents or punctures that would render many other competitor products useless, are a minor cosmetic issue with the Hitachi StarBoards.
The Hitachi FX-77 StarBoard user only needs one pen. This multi function pen means that there is only 1 accessory to use. No misplacing or fumbling for the right colour pen or eraser.
Interactive whiteboards are generally shared by several professors, teachers and trainers. Each person would have their own computer and each computer needs to work hand in glove with the interactive whiteboard. The Hitachi StarBoards remember your set up parameters and do not require time wasting recalibration every time that you plug into the whiteboard. It is quick and easy to use.
No need to worry about the board adding “smear marks” when a user brushes the screen with their arm or the palm of their hand while writing with the multi-function pen. The instructor can concentrate on their lesson and not worry about how they are holding the pen or standing in front of the whiteboard. The pen can be handed with confidence to a student and not worry about the student marking the whiteboard with anything but the pen.
While most unwanted physical marking of the screen (sharpie) can be removed if cleaned immediately, some markers will leave permanent marks on the whiteboard surface. Many whiteboards need to be taken out of use, packed up and sent to a service depot for an expensive repair. The Hitachi StarBoard can have a new surface sent to you and the old surface can be peeled off and a new one installed, at your location. Less down time and lower replacement cost.
