Web RD or Web Remote Display is a stand alone display unit that has the ability to get data from the internet (LAN Required) and display it. This kit is a minimalist set of hardware to support this functionality. We have reduced the cost so you only need to buy the Kit you intend to use. We offer links to other providers that sell the components so you can source them at the lowest price. The Housing of the display is left to the user we have partnered with Xen Dragon 3d Printing to offer a 3d Printed housing:
We offer a free download from Cricut that creates a housing from cardboard that is free of any cost.
