Any screen that you can connect to a monitor output (with passive or active adapter, if needed) on a computer that can run Ignition will work.

I haven't played with mobile (waiting on Perspective release) or Android, but perhaps this could run Perspective or current Mobile module (don't take my word for it, though).

Otherwise, if you're just using it as a monitor you need to ensure it is suitable for the computer display output it will be connected to. If it will display what's on the computer, it will display the Ignition client running on the computer.

You could always look into using an Intel Compute stick or NUC for this. Dashboard style projects tend to be very light on spec requirements. When we do dashboard style projects we tend to use a little NUC for the client and connect the screen to that.
