I want a tv 14-18" that can be controlled by Gemini Air remote
My wife insists on using channel numbers, so I don't have much choice for streaming besides Directv Gemini Air. She wants a TV for the kitchen in the 14" to 17" range. I keep getting the runaround from various AI (Use Samsung, they don't make that size, Use this, it doesn't support HDMI-CEC) and basically the all keep regurgitating nonsense.
Does anyone know of a device, TV or Monitor, that will do this? I need power and sound to be controlled by the Gemini remote?
Only reply if you have a setup that works. I don't need any more "Well, try this!"

Why Not use a Tablet instead of a "TV" Hook the Gemini to the HDMI port and you have Channel numbers.
📺 1. Use a tablet like a TV screen You can watch shows directly on the tablet itself. ✅ How it works: Install streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, or live TV apps Watch shows, movies, or live channels right on the screen ✅ Why people do this: Portable — you can watch anywhere Tablets support a wide range of streaming services and TV apps thestreamable You can even watch live TV channels through apps or services cordcutting 👉 This is the simplest option — your tablet basically becomes a small personal TV. 📺 2. Replace a TV (kind of) A larger tablet (10–16 inches) can act like a mini TV. ✅ Benefits: Easy to move room to room Good personal viewing experience Supports all major streaming apps meswao ⚠️ Limitation: Smaller than a real TV Not ideal for watching with a group 📺
to use HDMI on a Tablet You will need an adapter
🔌 1. USB‑C port (modern tablets)
➡️ This is the most common way today

Will this also allow control of power and volume? She can't deal with anything more complicated.
