Over the last few years, there has been an increase in the flexibility of workforces employing hybrid setups of working from home to achieve a more successful work-life balance. This new idea has made creating comfortable workspaces in the house a priority. Often houses may not have the space for a home office, and many have turned to make multifunctional spaces in the home which suit various lifestyles.
With this in mind, we turn to how a smart TV can assist in helping with home offices and when the space is used for other needs.
Having the Extra Screen Space
Having dual screens is essential to working more efficiently within many computer-based roles. Whether it’s having Teams and email readily available for reference or more complex operations such as swapping from individual software for digital graphic work. However you wish to use your computer or laptop, having a second screen can make work much more manageable.
Luckily, even with a cheap LED TV, you can easily link up to your computer or laptop with an HDMI lead. By changing the settings, you can have a fluid extension of the hardware already available in the original device. Many smart TVs will also allow you to access the TV wirelessly as long as both devices are running from the same wireless internet connection. They are often cheaper than a monitor and offer multiple functions for all the family.
This feature helps create a space that can be used formally as an office but can easily convert to a more relaxed setting. For example, suppose you wish to work from the living room during work hours. In that case, you can work from your sofa comfortably, but at night you can disconnect, reverting it to a family room to settle down and watch a film together.
Fill the Lonely Void
Working from home offers a much quieter setting than the average office. If you are working the regular 9-5 hours at home, it may begin to feel rather lonely. However, with the many functions a smart TV offers, there are ample ways to fill the quietness. A smart TV can provide your favourite apps to supply music, radio and even series you have watched many times to make the house feel less lonely. Many smart TVs are Android based, such as our cheap Samsung TVs, which means they have access to many popular apps for entertainment, like Spotify, YouTube and Netflix.
Background noise helps keep you productive, and the fitting soundtrack can help motivate you no matter what you’re doing. Having your playlist accessible on your laptop allows you to keep the music to how you like it without flicking through the TV to find the right songs.
Instant News Updates
If your job heavily relies on keeping up to date with current affairs, then a smart TV can help. Access various news apps and channels with the click of a button without having to close windows down and deviate from what you may be doing on screen.
This is ideal for many sectors, including social media managers and freelance journalists. Having instant access to worldwide news instigates inspiration or keeps you aware of the current ongoing situations where you may need to respond quickly. An example of this was the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Upon hearing the news, social media managers and the media had to instigate particular protocols and put plans in place for when the news was officially released. Those who were the first to respond to the event could let others know and be the hub of the latest updates.
Keep in Touch With the Office
Video conferencing has seen a global increase in popularity since the pandemic of 2020. Although this is possible through your laptop or computer, having it on a larger smart TV frees up your screen to check facts, find essential files and much more.
Being able to kick back and relax on your sofa makes video conferencing much more comfortable than being hunched over your small laptop screen. Many smart TVs will allow you to access the Zoom app, such as a cheap Sony TV. In addition, depending on the make of your laptop or monitor, you can have excellent picture precision by swapping to a more detailed display, like with a smart TV. With so many offering super clarity with 4K, you will feel like your colleagues are in the room with you.
The Right Smart TV for Your Office
With so many smart TVs on the market, finding one to match your needs can often feel challenging. Although many modern TVs come jam-packed with features that make them desirable, your choice will depend on your usage.
