Microsoft Surface Hub 2S 85" – 4K Interactive Whiteboard for Enterprise Collaboration

Product Overview

The Microsoft Surface Hub 2S 85" (TQP-00001) is an 85-inch all-in-one interactive collaboration display purpose-built for large conference rooms, boardrooms, and all-hands spaces. It runs Windows 10 Team Edition with native Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Whiteboard integration, giving distributed teams a single, managed endpoint for video meetings, real-time annotation, and content sharing. Powered by an Intel Core i5 8th Gen processor with 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD, this unit ships ready for immediate deployment in commercial AV environments. Currently offered at a reduced price — $1,099 below standard MSRP — making this an ideal procurement window for enterprise buyers.

Product Description

The Surface Hub 2S 85" delivers a 3840x2560 PixelSense 4K+ display at a 3:2 aspect ratio — a format chosen specifically to maximize whiteboard canvas area and reduce letterboxing during document review and Teams calls. The display supports 10-point multi-touch and pen input simultaneously, supporting mixed annotation workflows without mode switching. The integrated 4K camera provides a 90-degree horizontal field of view, appropriate for capturing the full table in rooms up to 20 feet in width without supplemental pan-tilt-zoom hardware.

Audio is handled by an 8-element MEMS microphone array with beam-forming and echo cancellation, paired with a 3-way stereo speaker system. These components are certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms, meaning no additional DSP hardware or room tuning is required in standard room geometries. Connectivity includes USB-A, USB-C, HDMI input, Mini-DisplayPort output, and RJ45 Ethernet alongside Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Bluetooth 4.1. A built-in Doppler occupancy sensor enables automatic wake and sleep, supporting facilities management workflows and energy compliance requirements. Windows 10 Team Edition is upgradeable to Windows 11 Team, extending the platform lifecycle for organizations standardizing on Microsoft 365 infrastructure.

Currently on sale at $24,000 — $1,099 below the standard list price of $25,099. This is a non-TAA unit (TQP-00001). Federal and government buyers requiring TAA compliance should see the TAA-compliant 3C8-00002 variant.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Surface Hub 2S 85" (TQP-00001) TAA compliant?

No. The TQP-00001 is not TAA compliant. Federal agencies and contractors subject to Trade Agreements Act requirements should order the 3C8-00002 variant, which carries TAA compliance.

What Microsoft Teams Rooms license does this require?

The Surface Hub 2S requires a Microsoft Teams Rooms license (Standard or Pro) assigned to a room resource account. It does not consume a standard Teams user license. Consult your Microsoft licensing agreement or CSP for current SKU options.

Can this display be wall-mounted, or does it require a proprietary stand?

The Surface Hub 2S 85" supports both wall mounting and the Microsoft Surface Hub 2S Steelcase Roam mobile stand. The display uses a proprietary mounting interface; third-party VESA mounts are not directly compatible without an adapter plate.

Does the integrated camera support auto-framing or speaker tracking?

The built-in 4K camera provides a fixed 90° HFOV without mechanical PTZ or AI-based auto-framing at the hardware level. Software-based intelligent camera features may be available through Windows 11 Team and Teams app updates. For active speaker tracking, an external PTZ camera connected via USB is the standard integration path.

What AV control systems does the Surface Hub 2S support?

The Surface Hub 2S exposes control via REST API over the local network and supports Miracast for wireless content sharing. Integration with Crestron, Extron, or AMX control systems is typically accomplished via the API or through third-party drivers. Contact your AV integrator to confirm the control system integration path for your environment.

Can the operating system be upgraded from Windows 10 Team to Windows 11 Team?

Yes. Microsoft has provided an upgrade path from Windows 10 Team Edition to Windows 11 Team Edition for the Surface Hub 2S, subject to device eligibility and Microsoft's published update timelines. Check Microsoft's official documentation for current upgrade availability.

What is the warranty coverage on this unit?

This unit includes a 1-year limited hardware warranty from Microsoft. Extended service plans (Microsoft Extended Hardware Service) are available for purchase separately and are recommended for enterprise deployments.

Is the on-sale price available for volume orders?

The current sale price of $24,000 applies to this listing. For volume pricing, project quotes, or institutional procurement, contact Creation Networks directly for a custom quote.
