I'm looking for recommendations on a TV suitable for a meeting room setup. It should support Zoom, Google Meets, and Teams, and be wall-mounted. The main use will be for video calls when participants can't join in-person. What options do you suggest?

Check out interactive screens! They're popular in schools because the touchscreen feature makes them super easy to use compared to navigating websites with a remote. Brands like Clevertouch are leading the pack, with SMARTboards not far behind.
If you're a smaller company without a vendor, check out B&H for commercial-grade displays. They come with no unnecessary software, are designed for all-day use, and offer good options for digital signage integration. I like the Samsung QM series; they come in various price points and are solid for office use.
Look for a commercial-grade panel with at least 1080p resolution. Most conferencing solutions don't support 4K yet. Go for HDMI-CEC support, and while a touchscreen is cool, it can be pricey. Basically, you want something resembling the screens used for menus in fast food places—functional but affordable.
We use a Microsoft Teams Room (MTR), which connects to almost every platform. It's great because it can directly join Cisco WebEx and Zoom, but for others, you'll need an interop provider. Honestly, if you want a seamless experience, consider a computer setup or a TV that supports Miracast, AirPlay, or Chromecast for wireless sharing.
We've just been using Sony Bravias, no internet connection, just linked to a docking station. It's all about bringing your own device to present here.
I totally get that! Having a direct setup can save a lot of time and hassle.
