    Web on 3 tv's

    Hi
    First post so be gentle

    I need to display a web page on three TV screens.
    The screens will be about 50 meters apart.
    This is in a work place so we have a LAN should that be the way to do this.
    The way I see it I could just connect a PC up to each TV and do it that way or possibly connect all three TV's to one PC using VGA cables and boosters, but not sure if this would work.

    Is there a better solution?
    Broadcast over the network?

    Any ideas on how I could achieve this.

    cheers

    Welcome!

    I would either use PCs or low end laptops for each screen, it is possible to use 1 PC but I expect it would end up being more difficult and time is money. If your company has a terminal server you could use 3 thin clients, cheap, small and silent.

    how would a CAT5 KVM work?

    We currently use KVM's to display the output from several PC's onto one screen.
    I'm looking to do the opposite, display the output from one PC on three screens at the same time.

    thanks for your replies thus far

    cheers

    EDIT: Just found out I need to display a different web page on each screen which makes thing a bit trickier

    An off the shelf Atom box like the Eee desktop would be about £200 per screen. For a slightly higher price MSI do an Atom machine with a VESA mount that you should be able to attach behind the screen. Airport info screens are often setup like this, with each screen driven by a small Windows PC.

    Can't post URL's until 5 posts... but VGA or HDMI extenders over CAT5, with a distribution unit would have been an easy fix if they were all to display the same image. But being so far apart, I think the only solution is separate PC's.
