We have been looking at installing a new tv in our break room to use as the job assignment board for our crew for quite some time. About 2 months ago we went ahead and installed it. The current set up has a separate dedicated computer that runs the 55" TV in the break room. We use a program called google drive to run a spreadsheet on the screen. Google Drive acts as an online storage database. This allows us to make changes to the spread sheet from any computer and any smart phone. The spreadsheet updates instantly when a change is made from any device. It has taken a little time to get all of the kinks worked out but we think that at this point we have it down pretty good. Google drive also lets you upload any photos taken on a smartphone straight to the drive. This helps us show pictures, both good and bad to the crew. We have also been using the large tv to show safety and training videos. The set up was extremely easy. We bought a USB to HDMI external video card, plugged that into the computer, then ran a HDMI cord from the card to the tv and we were done. The computer that runs the tv is located in a storage closet and it also has a monitor that is mirrored to what is showing on the tv. It has a wireless keyboard and mouse so that it is easy to stand in the break room and scroll through pictures with the crew.
