Microsoft Surface Hub 2S 85" – All-in-One Teams Collaboration Display

Product Overview

The Microsoft Surface Hub 2S 85" (TQP-00020) is an enterprise-grade all-in-one collaboration display designed for large conference rooms, boardrooms, and multi-purpose spaces where a single managed endpoint replaces the traditional patchwork of display, camera, microphone, and room PC. It runs Windows 10 Team Edition with Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Whiteboard pre-configured, and its 85-inch PixelSense 4K+ panel at 3:2 aspect ratio provides the canvas area needed for both large-group video conferencing and interactive whiteboard sessions. For commercial AV buyers standardizing on Microsoft-native meeting infrastructure, the TQP-00020 is the straightforward specification choice.

Product Description

At 3840x2560 resolution on an 85-inch PixelSense panel, the Surface Hub 2S 85" renders 4K content, Teams video feeds, and whiteboard annotations with sufficient pixel density for close viewing in boardroom-depth seating. The 3:2 aspect ratio differentiates this unit from 16:9 commercial displays: it provides more vertical canvas for document review, whiteboard use, and split-view layouts without content being compressed into letterboxed zones. The display accepts simultaneous touch and pen input, supporting parallel annotation by multiple participants in the room without mode switching.

The integrated AV stack — 4K camera at 90° HFOV, 8-element MEMS microphone array, and 3-way stereo speakers — is certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms, enabling deployment as a standalone room endpoint without external cameras, microphones, or audio DSP. For rooms where the built-in camera coverage is insufficient (e.g., extra-wide or angled seating configurations), the USB-A and USB-C ports support external USB cameras and peripheral devices. The Intel Core i5 8th Gen processor with 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD handles standard Teams Rooms workloads including simultaneous video, whiteboard, and Office 365 document access. Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 4.1, Miracast, and RJ45 Ethernet provide flexible network connectivity for both wired infrastructure deployments and wireless-first environments. The Doppler occupancy sensor automates wake and sleep cycles, reducing idle power draw and extending display longevity in high-utilization facilities.

Key Features

• 85" PixelSense 4K+ Display (3840x2560, 3:2) — Tall-format panel maximizes whiteboard canvas and document vertical space; renders 4K content at pixel densities appropriate for close-in boardroom viewing.
• Native Microsoft Teams & Whiteboard — Pre-installed on Windows 10 Team Edition; deployable as a Teams Rooms endpoint with a room resource account and MTR license, no third-party software required.
• Integrated 4K Camera (90° HFOV) — Full-room video coverage for spaces up to approximately 20 feet in width without external PTZ hardware, simplifying AV design and reducing installation cost.
• 8-Element MEMS Microphone Array — Beam-forming and acoustic echo cancellation; Teams-certified for use without supplemental ceiling or tabletop microphones in standard room geometries.
• 3-Way Stereo Speaker System — Voice-optimized for remote participant audio reproduction; no external amplifier required for rooms up to approximately 30 attendees.
• Doppler Occupancy Sensor — Automatic display wake and sleep based on room presence; reduces energy consumption and display wear in rooms with variable occupancy patterns.
• Intel Core i5 8th Gen / 8GB RAM / 128GB SSD — On-device compute handles Teams Rooms workloads, whiteboard rendering, and Microsoft 365 applications without a Surface Hub 2X compute cartridge.
• Comprehensive I/O and Wireless Connectivity — USB-A, USB-C, HDMI input, Mini-DisplayPort output, RJ45 Ethernet, Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Bluetooth 4.1, and Miracast support diverse peripheral and source connections.
• Windows 10 Team Edition (Upgradeable to Win 11) — IT-managed platform with group policy support and a defined upgrade path to Windows 11 Team, protecting deployment investment over multi-year refresh cycles.
• All-in-One Form Factor — Single-SKU procurement replaces display, PC, camera, microphone, and speaker line items; reduces vendor complexity and simplifies IT asset management.

Typical Applications

• Boardroom
• Conference room

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between TQP-00020 and TQP-00001?

Both are non-TAA commercial configurations of the Surface Hub 2S 85" with identical hardware specifications. The TQP-00001 is periodically offered at a promotional price. The TQP-00020 is the standard commercial SKU. Federal or government buyers requiring TAA compliance should order the 3C8-00002 variant.

What Microsoft Teams Rooms license does the Surface Hub 2S require?

A Microsoft Teams Rooms license (Standard or Pro) must be assigned to a dedicated room resource account in your Microsoft 365 tenant. This is separate from standard Teams user licenses. Confirm current MTR licensing requirements with your Microsoft partner or CSP.

Does the built-in camera cover a full conference table?

The integrated 4K camera provides a 90-degree horizontal field of view, which is sufficient to cover most conference tables in rooms up to approximately 20 feet wide when the display is wall-mounted at the head of the room. For wider rooms, L-shaped configurations, or spaces requiring active speaker tracking, an external USB PTZ camera is the recommended integration path.

Can external microphones or speakers be connected?

Yes. The USB-A and USB-C ports support USB audio devices including conferencing microphones and external speakers. For rooms that require DSP or more advanced audio coverage, the Surface Hub 2S can be integrated with USB-connected room audio systems. Note that Bluetooth audio peripherals can also be paired via Bluetooth 4.1.

How does the Doppler occupancy sensor affect room booking systems?

The Doppler sensor controls the display’s wake and sleep state but does not natively communicate with room booking or facility management platforms. Integration with room booking systems (e.g., Microsoft Exchange, Robin, EMS) occurs through the Teams Rooms resource account, not through the sensor directly.

Is this product compatible with AV control systems (Crestron, Extron, AMX)?

Yes, with integration work. The Surface Hub 2S exposes a REST API over the local network that can be called by third-party control systems. Some control system manufacturers also offer dedicated drivers for Surface Hub. Confirm the specific integration path with your AV system designer before specifying in a control system design.

What is the warranty on TQP-00020?

This unit includes a 1-year limited hardware warranty from Microsoft. Microsoft Extended Hardware Service plans are available for purchase separately. For commercial deployments, extended coverage is advisable given the capital cost of an 85-inch all-in-one display.

Where can I get volume pricing or a project quote?

Contact Creation Networks for volume pricing, project-specific quotes, and AV system integration support. We work directly with integrators, IT procurement teams, and facilities managers on large-format display deployments.
