We would like to set up some displays in our office to constantly display some performance dashboards. The dashboards are custom built but accessible via the web.
We'd like to set up about 6 of these devices and want to keep them as low maintenance as possible.
It feels like overkill to setup a laptop for each screen just for this purpose but we weren't sure in 2022 what the best approach from a cost and reliability perspective would be.
Some routes we have considered:
- Use 'Smart TVs' and rely on the built-in browser (can be janky to use)
- Use a Raspberry Pi connected to a monitor (hard to source new Pi's at the moment)
- Use an Amazon Fire Stick (they have an auto-sleep that can't seem to be disabled)
- Use an no-name Raspberry Pi-esque mini USB-C PC (dubious quality)
Do any of those seem like the obvious choice or are we missing something even more straightforward?
