I decided to keep the iPad and I’m glad I did. It set up super easy and I was using it about five minutes out of the box. Quality is great, no playback issues whatsoever. And since I’m already in the Apple ecosystem, if I ever want to use it for more than Plex and iTunes I can. I’m also...

Aww man, I just got the iPad. Haven’t opened it yet so I could initiate a return. I just did a quick google search on Plex on Fire and the reviews were...not kind. My wife and I both have regular Kindles of different generations and while I love the e-Ink display on those devices, I don’t...

I appreciated you guys for both helping me better understand my options. I think I would have spent three months with decision paralysis otherwise :)

I hadn’t thought about iTunes TV purchases until I wrote that - that might be the thing that pushes me in that direction.

That’s great advice, thanks Dave and Scott. I’m gonna run all this by my wife and see if she has any interest in using potential tablet (guessing answer is no but never hurts to ask). If she doesn’t have an opinion on it, I’ll start looking at the Samsung Galaxy Tablet. Although, just...

I guess I’ll hold out for a sale or a refurb. Kinda bummed if $329 (which after taxes and all that Jazz is probably closer to $400) is the cheapest option. It would still be cheaper to buy a smaller TCL/Roku TV and wall mount it - which is far more trouble than I want. I guess I just feel...

No worries David, anything you take the time to post is worth my taking a moment to think about it :)

Problem is that this older iPad Mini doesn’t seem to support what I’m trying to do - chokes on HD video from Plex, and HD streaming from iTunes purchases. So I don’t think it can be relied on to power anything. My kitchen is so tiny that I’d just prefer to avoid a scenario with wires and...

I hadn’t thought of either - thanks Scott and Pete, will give myself some research homework.

Thanks for the feedback, Nelson. Yeah, the iPad Pro is far too much for what I want to spend here. For a fraction of that price I could wall mount a smaller, cheap TCL TV with a built in Roku and call it a day. But I was hoping to avoid a wall mount production since I may not be living in this...

I know almost nothing about the current crop of tablets. I just set up a HTPC running Plex, and on a lark I tried installing the client on an old iPad Mini from 2012ish that my wife got for free ages ago. We’ve never used it for anything else - between our TVs, laptops and iPhones, there just...
