Remote Working Productivity Hacks to Keep You Engaged Throughout the Day

We love the extra hour saved on commutes – but with the lack of barriers between work and play, we sometimes neglect valuable personal time! Samsung’s Smart Monitors allow users to toggle seamlessly between work and leisure, so the little things that make you happy are just a touch away.

Gearing up for the day ahead

It’s 7:30am and you’re looking to start the day by getting the blood flowing through a quick yoga or cardio workout.

Instead of propping up your phone and straining to keep up with the routine on a smaller screen, make the most out of your workout by accessing your favorite fitness videos on the Smart Monitor, in pin sharp UHD resolution¹ without the hassle of starting up your laptop! With the availability of popular streaming apps such as YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+, you can enjoy infinite workout options at your fingertips. This way, you can focus on getting yourself in the right state of mind to tackle the busy day ahead!

The workday commences – time to hit the ground running!

Having a second screen is a productivity must-have. But multiple cables and wires cause clutter, and are a major inconvenience for those of us who like a change in environment or need to work across different parts of home throughout the day.

The Smart Monitor’s single connection architecture solves these issues, enabling a neat and stress-free work environment free of clutter. The USB Type-C port1  allows for data, display and power — up to 65W — with just a single connection. Meanwhile, the remote access function allows you to extend your screen without any cables.

Post-lunch leisure break

Have some spare time during lunch hour and want to indulge in some fun?

Mirror your phone screen and indulge in a few rounds of Genshin Impact or Mobile Legends on a big screen! Alternatively, share the photos you’ve just captured, or perhaps your latest doodles in full detail with your loved ones through Tap View. All you need to do is tap your smartphone on the side of the Smart Monitor². And with 21:9 Ultrawide Game View, you can now enjoy a complete gaming experience in the middle of your workday!

Apple users will be keen to know that Samsung’s Smart Monitor supports AirPlay2, so you can stream, control and share your favorite content directly from your iPhone, iPad or Mac!

Unwind after work

After you send your last email for the day, close your laptop and turn your smart monitor into a one-stop entertainment hub instantaneously! Catch up on your favorite movies or series on your favorite streaming platform – including Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime³, without switching on another device. Just talk to the remote control⁴, and the voice-activated Bixby function will do everything else for you.

The Smart Monitors’ 27 and 32 inch screen size, combined with the integration of Adaptive Picture that delivers optimal brightness even in dark lighting conditions and in 4K UHD1 and a built-in two-channel 5W speaker, you can now enjoy the full audio and visual experience, without investing in another TV set.
