The BenQ Board has several ports that can be used to input and output data and media.

The touch module of the display supports plug-and-play operation. Users do not need to install additional drivers on their device computer. There are two ways to enable touch connections: using the USB-C port and using the Touch USB port.

USB connectors

When connecting devices to the any of the display’s USB ports, ensure the following:

• The cable length is recommended to be less than 5 m (16.4 ft) for USB 2.0 slots and 3 m (9.8 ft) for USB 3.0 slots.
• The BenQ Board limits the number of USB connections. If all USB slots are occupied and a USB hub is connected to the display, it will not recognize any new USB input devices.

The NFC sensor on the front panel detects the NFC tags from BenQ accessories and mobile devices.

• Keep the remote control cool and dry at all times. Prolonged exposure to direct heat and humidity may cause it to malfunction.

The following guidelines are only applicable when using the IR sensor.

• Keep the IR sensor away from direct sunlight or a strong light source as this may disrupt the remote control signal. Adjust the room lighting or the placement of the display to ensure proper communication with the IR sensor.
• The maximum remote control distance is 8 m (26.24 ft) from the IR sensor.
• The remote control must be within the horizontal range of 60 degrees and the vertical range of 30 degrees to ensure proper transmission to the IR sensor.
