NEAT BOARD PRO VS. LOGITECH RALLY BOARD: WHICH ONE FITS YOUR MEETING ROOM STRATEGY?

When you walk into a meeting room, you want the technology to disappear. You want people to connect, share ideas, and move quickly. Tools either support that flow or get in the way.

The Neat Board Pro and the Rally Board 65 were built to support that flow. They’re both 65-inch touch displays designed for video meetings, whiteboarding, and content sharing. They aim to make hybrid work smoother and communication easier.

If you’re trying to understand the differences between them, here’s a simple breakdown of what each device brings to the table.

THE DISPLAY

Both boards greet you with a 65-inch touchscreen. But their personalities show up in the details.

Neat Board Pro uses a 4K multi-touch LCD with anti-glare and anti-fingerprint coatings. It’s designed for clarity from any angle and a natural writing experience on the surface.

Rally Board 65 also offers a 65-inch touch display, sized to be readable in conference rooms and easy to interact with whether you're standing or seated.

HEAR AND BE HEARD: SOUND AND MICROPHONES

Meetings fall apart when the audio does. This is where the differences become practical.

Neat Board Pro packs three full-range speakers, opposing woofers to control vibration, and a 5-mic end-fire array supported by additional localization mics. It also runs advanced processing in the background—noise suppression, echo cancellation, dereverberation—so voices stay natural.

Rally Board 65 integrates its audio into the system design and supports different room setups, including a table-stand configuration and a mobile cart. The goal is similar: clear sound, predictable pickup, and performance appropriate for meeting rooms.

The lesson: both boards aim to keep voices front and center.

SEE THE ROOM CLEARLY: CAMERA SYSTEMS AND VIDEO

Clear video helps you feel connected to the people on the other side of the call.

Neat Board Pro uses two 50-megapixel cameras—one wide, one telephoto. Together they offer wide and narrow fields of view, hybrid zoom up to 16x, and automatic framing so the board adjusts to the people in the room. It supports high-quality output for both people video and shared content.

Rally Board 65 is built for use in PC-based or BYOD meeting setups, meaning the camera experience is shaped by your chosen software platform and room configuration. It’s designed to fit into the broader Logitech conferencing system.

Both boards help remote participants feel like they’re in the room. They just get there in slightly different ways.

CONNECTING TO YOUR WORK: PORTS, MODES, AND SETUP

A collaboration board is only useful if it connects easily to the rest of your workflow.

Neat Board Pro includes WiFi 6, Ethernet, HDMI-in, HDMI-out, USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode for BYOD, Bluetooth for Proximity Join, and an auxiliary port for adding third-party audio. Its power usage is consistent whether idle or in a call.

Rally Board 65 supports two primary modes:

  • PC mode for dedicated room systems

  • BYOD mode for single-cable laptop connections

It also supports VESA mounting standards and can be used on a table stand or cart, depending on how flexible you want the room to be. Both boards integrate with modern meeting workflows.

WHAT REALLY MATTERS: CHOOSING FOR YOUR TEAM

People tend to overestimate the hardware and underestimate the behavior of the team using it.

If you want a board with strong built-in audio, dual cameras, and a polished touch experience, Neat Board Pro delivers that out of the box.

If you want a board that fits naturally into PC-based meeting rooms or BYOD environments and offers multiple physical configurations, Rally Board 65 offers that flexibility.

But the best choice depends on your use cases:

  • How do your teams meet?

  • How often do they whiteboard?

  • Do they plug in laptops or join from the room system?

  • How mobile do you want the board to be?

Pick the board that supports the behaviors you already see—or the ones you want to encourage.
