Displaying a web page on remote screens.

I am looking to install 2 monitors in our factory which will display a webpage showing manufacturing process info (pressures and temperatures).

I was thinking of splitting/running the dsub VGA from a dual port graphics card.

I will then have an issue of running 250v and VGA to the monitor. I think I will have quality issues with the VGA as it will be 10-15M per monitor, so may have to run over cat5 extenders.

I am looking for ideas, such as wireless / web enabled screens, tablets / android tablets etc?

This is to go in a dusty environment, so the cheaper the better (or options to dustproof if airflow through it!!)

Any body got any good suggestions. I will distribute the 500points acordingly to the best solutions!

Many Thanks.
Steven

I ended up using an existing (remote) PC with dual VGA out, end extended desktop set.

Used VGA/Audio over Cat5. The VGA over CAT 5 also acted as a splitter (2 outputs).

Job done!

Thanks for the input. I especially liked the idea of CD Kiosk, although didnt end up using with this solution!
