Simple webpage shown on a monitor

[Dazzathestag]

I have a wall mounted monitor that has various input ports. It’s not smart in any way just a dumb monitor. There is a WiFi router within range but the monitor has no WiFi .
Quite simply I would like to display a specific URL on the monitor, is there a type of usb stick that I could program, plug into the monitor that would then connect to the WiFi and display the webpage ?

Sounds straightford but really not sure if it’s possible
Many thanks for any ideas

You will have to use a computer to display any webpage to that monitor.

Ok - thanks - sounds so simple but I guess I will need to consider something else. Thanks

A nettop could work out alright. If not, buy a smart TV. But I have read those smart TVs have vulnerabilities.

You could get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Corp-B...d=1521244405&sr=1-22&keywords=computer+sticks
It's a full computer in stick form that would plug into an HDMI port on the TV and would be fine for displaying a webpage.

I remember when those came out. I don't like the reviews though. If I go to buy something and it's at 3 stars I avoid it. Here's the fake spot rating. https://www.fakespot.com/product/in...c-intel-atom-z3735f-1gb-8gb-wifi-ubuntu-14-04

For the OP's intended purpose, who cares about reviews? He wants to display a single webpage.

Do you have this same attitude when you buy a computer or other hardware?

Yeah, who cares whether it performs well or not.

There are times (like this instance) when utility is more important than performance. Not everything is a "race" where you absolutely have to have the "best".
