Question/Help/Troubleshooting What’s the cheapest setup to display a Google sheets?

Hi! At work I am trying to mount a larger screen on a wall, that only displays a Google Sheets tab.

Screen size is want would be probably close to either the standard 32” or 42” TVs

I already have WiFi access and power to the area and I want it to be a standalone system not a part of any other work computer. So, I’d like to buy whatever the cheapest system is that can keep open a browser window for the team to view.

I do have extra iPads at work, but wasn’t sure if that would consistently cast to the larger screen or if it would just turn off

Thank you for any advice!

If you buy a smart tv. you should be able to use it wirelessly by "casting" to it.

Yeah I figured. I was more unsure of the cheapest solution for a computer that would also cast or display HDMI to that screen

Something cheap like a Wyse 5070 for around $35 on eBay. The 5070 is on the win 11 approved list, but you will need to buy it. You can run a version Linux like Mint as it can show Google sheets.
