<div dir="ltr">The room is quite bright, and I was looking into a digital projector and even purchased a huge window shade with that in mine. Since I have found out that smart tv's come with their own browser I was turned off of that idea as the home screen pretty much looks like a check-out screen for purchasing stuff, which was experience with the roku about 7 years ago. I found the roku frustrating because I didn't have a keyboard attached to the thing. I have a wireless keyboard now, that might work. So the current idea is just mirror my laptop ( through the HDMI cable?), which I guess I found too cumbersome before, but maybe now it would be easier. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Sep 28, 2020 at 10:14 AM Alex at Just Peachy <<a href="mailto:alex@justpeachy.io">alex@justpeachy.io</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Seconding Mik's recommendation!<div><br></div><div>If your laptop is a Macbook, we've also had good results with the Apple TV, but it's a much higher price point than a Roku.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Sep 28, 2020 at 10:04 AM Michael Muller via Hidden-discuss <<a href="mailto:hidden-discuss@lists.hidden-tech.net" target="_blank">hidden-discuss@lists.hidden-tech.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p>Diana,</p>
<p>Go buy the largest flat-screen TV you are willing to pay for,
making sure it's wall-mountable. Doesn't have to be a "smart tv",
just needs an HDMI cable input.<br>
</p>
<p>Then go buy a Roku.</p>
<p>Then subscribe to Netflix or Hulu or Disney or whatever.</p>
<p>Then buy a fancy popcorn bowl.<br>

<div dir="ltr"> I would love to have a large screen to watch
movies from netflix and Hulu. ( I never want to see the screen
when I am not watching so I would put it behind a large, vintage
u.s map that would roll up to expose the screen. So I don't want
any black boxes that would have to sit on a table either )
<div>1. I want something all mounted, with maybe 2 cords ( power

<div>3. Is smart tv the answer? I don't want to buy any other

<div>Any current technologies that would work for me?</div>
