    I bought a USB-C to HDMI adapter that also has a charging port for my tablet to hook to my 10 yr old Samsung flat screen. And I also have a decent sounding sound bar plugged into the optical port of the tv. I keep all that the one end of my bed, then use a dongle-less Bluetooth mouse to navigate what I want to watch on the tablet which is displayed on the flat screen. I have unlimited on device data on my phone and tablet, but limited hotspot data on my phone thru T-Mo so I just suck up as much data streaming thru my tablet as I need and never turn on my phone hotspot.

    I use Starlink mounted inside the sleeper and 10" Samsung tablet. Sat TV provider lets me use their online app to stream any content available on my home subscription.

    I have a 40 inch. Fits perfectly on the swivel. I scan for over the air channels or use apps with my hotspot or pick up wifi. I think it was only 130 bucks at Walmart.

    My biggest gripe with smaller screen is I can't see it clearly from my bed, and up close I need glasses my 40 works for me
