TV Screen - recommended brand?

Post by jacek »

Hi Guys,

we would like to install TV screens (48-50") in some of our IT offices to display Nagios XI content (switching views), so we will have a nice overview all the time being in the office.

Is there any recommended Smart TV system (embedded web browser) that is confirmed to be working without problems?
Maybe there is a specific brands that are confirmed not to display the WEB UI properly?
Maybe something with AndroidTV? Or will everything run ok?

I'm hoping someone had this experience already :-P

That's definitely a cool idea, but waaaaay outside the scope of our support. You might have better luck asking on a forum dedicated to home theater: https://forum.mythtv.org/

So for those that will bump into this topic I will say how we solved this:
1. Run a NagiosXI server to the open world (AWS AMI configured below 10 minutes)
2. Add some dummy hosts
3. Go to whatever media store where You can play with the TV
4. Ask the sales to give the remote controller
5. Open the NagiosXI You created

There is no easier and safer method :-D
PS. we picked an LG 49LF631V because the web browser didn't do any weird-fancy-scaling, simply showing it 1:1 like I see the page with the same resolution on my PC.

You can close the topic, thanks!
