Long gone are the days when our work happens in only one place in one room. Sure, there are still many that have the traditional “9 to 5” jobs that take place in the office, but recent years have seen an increase in more flexible work arrangements. Even at home, you might not even just work in one room only, nor is your use of the computer confined to one desk. Work and office equipment have started to adapt to this more flexible lifestyle, starting with more portable computer accessories that you can take with you on the go. There’s even a new breed of ultra-thin monitors you can slip in your bag and connect to your laptop for an instant dual monitor setup anywhere. While this 31.5-inch LG monitor won’t be leaving your home, it can be easily rolled to any location inside the house, at least as long as there’s a power outlet nearby. Designer: LG Despite their name, computer monitors today are no longer just displays permanently attached to computers, be they desktops or even laptops. They have become general-purpose screens that are used for both work and play, connecting to anything that can display video. In fact, some computer monitors have become “smart” and can display content on their own without any external device. The LG Smart Monitor Swing takes that flexibility to the extreme by sporting a design that really lets it do whatever you need it to do, whether it’s displaying a spreadsheet or playing kids’ shows. The 31.5-inch 4K UHD monitor is attached to a flexible stand with a torsion spring hinge that lets you bend, tilt, and swivel the screen to any height or angle you want. You can even twist it around to display a tall screen, like when you’re mirroring your smartphone. Its secret sauce, however, is the five wheels hidden beneath the base, letting you reposition the monitor anywhere in your home. You can, in effect, use the same large screen for work and, when you’re done, for your entertainment. The catch is that, despite the large base and thick stand, there is no built-in battery so you’re a bit limited in where you can actually place it, namely, near a wall socket or power outlet. The LG Smart Monitor Swing is powered by WebOS, which means you can stream not only content but even a remote or cloud PC without connecting it to a desktop or laptop. It is also touch-enabled, turning it into an interactive device for education, presentations, and collaboration. Unfortunately, no word yet on global availability, but it’s reported to be priced at around $740 in South Korea.
