<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi Prabhav,<br><br></div>From what I understand of your project you will provide a device which will have Internet access, and the user must just use his/her television as a display device. <br>
</div>As far as my knowledge goes, most of the new television sets have a wifi module in them, The difference of price is negligible for a non -wifi television and a wifi television.<br><br></div>If you are looking at integrating it onto the older televisions still prevalent in few parts of india, i would suggest you use the Raspberry pi, which costs around $25. <br>
<br></div>If you still want it lesser than this, I suggest build system with wifi+simple controller+vga out custom to your needs and I think you can get that done in $15. what you save on price you add in the effort required.<br>
