Here are two ways to utilize the USB port on your TV:
1. Transform your TV into a Workstation.
Ever find yourself with spreadsheets, documents, and web pages crowding your computer monitor? Use your TV to create a larger display, allowing you to multitask and open multiple windows simultaneously. You can use a Bluetooth adapter to connect wireless peripherals, such as a mouse or keyboard.
2. Media Player
Most external hard drives, thumb drives, or data sticks plugged into the USB port on your TV will function as if you plugged them into your laptop. Show a gallery of images or play videos for parties and family gatherings!
Speed up your typing with voice commands!
On Windows, position your cursor in the field you want to dictate into, and press Windows + H in any text field to start dictating instead of typing.
On a Mac, position your cursor in the field you want to dictate into, and hit Fn (Globe) + D (or Fn + F5) to activate Dictation.
It’s a huge time-saver for emails, documents, or even jotting down notes!
