minus-squareMonkeMischief@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoI’m personally thinking of just plugging a decently capable little media PC into the display, using KDE’s “big screen” interface with KDE Connect as a remote.

minus-squareHopingForBetter@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-25 months agoThis is my thought: Good enough laptops are about $200, and Linux is free. Then there are fairly good projectors for like $80 or less that have hdmi, av, rgb, etc. with an led bulb. So, grand total about $300 for a massive screen and zero ads.
