best screen device for remote monitoring

I have Quattro, BMV712 and VenusGX in my battery room and will EoP communicate with house 100 metres away.

What is the best screen device for viewing the monitoring data?

I try to avoid apple devices - is a samsung pad OK to run the VictronConnect ?

Hi again Daniel. At the house end of that EoP link you won't need VC. Essentially just something with a browser, if you already have a lan setup in the house. VC is for fooling in the shed. :)

Our esteemed 'moderator' Guy Stewart asked just this to see what others were doing in that situation: https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/4199/best-tablet-for-an-external-ccgx-display.html

I just use my trusty Win10 laptop, but your available choices are numerous.

Thanks John

I saw that but could not understand much of it as it appeared to head into 'nerd' territory..

And anyway, why would a Victron moderator be asking such a question, does he know being a Victron employee? Some of the questions and answers are coming out of left field and difficult to follow as to intent and honesty in addressing the issue...

Sometimes the moderator refuses to deal with the subject and simply demands that the question be asked as a new question which is then ignored, so I can only assume that Victron use this as a tactic to avoid the question and thereby avoid providing any response in support of their products.

Sometimes the Victron staff member appears to be ignorant of what Victron actually sell themselves....

It is totally wierd that a simple product such as a BMV712 comes with a book of instructions but a complicated product such as VenusGX comes with nothing and then the on line instructions are extremely sparse and almost devoid of any logical explanation.
