>> That I could just plug this into any display panel, including dumb displays.

Do you mean Chromecast? You can just plug it into your TV's hdmi port and use netflix/youtube/twitch/mubi android apps to control your streams on TV.

I have a Chromecast but I meant more like an Android TV box, like the Nvidia Shield. To separate the TV display capabilities from the internet capabilities.

Now I know the Shield exists that's what I'll be doing.
