amsung Flip WM85R - New size - more possibilities

The Samsung Flip and the Samsung Flip 2 have so far been based on 55" and 65” displays. The Samsung WM85R, on the other hand, has a diagonal of 85". This means that the WM85R offers significantly more working space, which is particularly noticeable when working in a classroom or in larger meeting rooms.

The 85" diagonal of the WM85R in combination with its parallel 4-character touch function makes it possible for 4 students to work on the Samsung Flip at the same time, for example. The smaller Samsung Flip displays would be far less suitable for this, as 65" offers too little work surface.

In addition to the new size of the Samsung Flip 2 WM85R, the design has also changed. While the smaller models have a white, slightly greyish chassis, the frame of the WM85R is black. The design is thus in line with the usual displays on the market. It could be related to the fact that at this size, the black border makes it easier to frame the image.

One point that should also be mentioned, and which may not be an insignificant factor for some fans of Samsung Flip displays, is that the Samsung Flip 2 WM85R is unfortunately only designed for use in landscape format, due to the large size of the display.

Proven features

In addition to the new size, the Samsung WM85R also has a number of proven features. They make it easier to use in everyday school and business life.

Samsung Flip WM85R - Multi Writing for 4 participants

Thanks to its Multi Writing function, the WM85R allows 4 people to work on the display at the same time. This makes it ideal for use in classrooms. Students often work on content at the same time and then present it to the class.

The function is also ideal for use in collaborative meetings, as colleagues taking part in the meeting can write down their ideas with up to 4 users at the same time.

Samsung Flip WM85R - Screen Sharing - sharing images made easy

Another practical feature is the screen sharing function. It enables the transfer of images from mobile devices and laptops - without cables. As the function does not depend on a network, but is established as a peer-to-peer connection, network knowledge is not required. The screen sharing function makes the presentation of content child's play and it has proved its worth in previous versions. In addition to the picture, control commands are also transmitted back, making it unnecessary to rework the adapted content on the notebook.

In order to use the screen sharing feature, however, there is a prerequisite for the compatible devices. These include Android devices with screen share function from 2016 or later. And on the part of the notebooks, Windows 10 or later is required. Ideally, the laptop should have a WiDi chipset.

Samsung Flip WM85R - Format templates for lessons and more

Another useful feature is the format templates stored in the display. You can use them to directly enter content for various applications. These include, for example, music sheets, timetables and many other possibilities. These templates are particularly useful in the classroom, as they save teachers time when preparing lessons.

Samsung Flip WM85R -Brush mode for creative content

Brush mode was introduced with the Samsung Flip 2. Now it is also on board with the Samsung Flip WM85R. It allows you to work as if you were on an easel with a conventional brush, as you know it from painting with watercolours. The 85" Flip thus offers excellent conditions for creative use in art lessons. Here, the Samsung Flip 2 WM85R is favourably positioned because it offers a particularly large surface for painting, which is not the case with conventional paper. And if part of the picture is not to your liking, it can be erased again. Whereas when painting on paper, the sheet of paper has to be disposed of. In this case, this saves costs and protects the environment.
