Last week, Samsung announced a new feature for its 2019 TVs, which will allow users to control various devices like their PCs, tablets and smartphones, from their TVs. The new feature, labeled Remote Access will let users connect certain accessories, like their keyboard or mouse, to their TV, so they can play games off their PC from their TV or broadcast web-based office services on the bigger screen.

Though details on Remote Access are still unclear, it appears that users will need to install various apps across their devices to achieve compatibility with the new Samsung TVs. The company claimed that Remote Access will work “anywhere in the world” because of a partnership with VMware and its virtual desktop infrastructure. That technology lets users access a specific desktop saved on a centralized server. The idea is that users can see their desktop from wherever they are, and it will reset once they log out of a session.

Samsung’s solution could definitely be handy if people want to play games on their TV without an HDMI cable, as well as for anyone who might want to make a presentation. Remote Access also seems to fit in with Samsung’s long-term vision of smoothing out the lines between devices. For instance, the company’s DeX and DeX Pad, for example, turn Samsung Galaxy phones into what essentially amounts to a desktop computer.
