    Well the rules out all AIO's.


    Just get a laptop and use whtever display is in the room, using casting/sreaming/wireless hdmi etc.


    Really, do not get a AIO.

    I'd say get a laptop - moving between rooms pretty much rules out a desktop.


    Take a look at an Apple Mac and then see if anything else floats your boat.


    If it really is only for that one task, an iPad (or similar) might be a good fit.

    Any large tablet will do what you want. Or stream to your phone and 'cast' that to a TV screen.

    2018 model Ipads are available for under £250 (new).
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Consider getting an HDMI PC stick and plug it into the back of whichever TV you want to watch your content on. Very easy to move the stick between rooms.

    Far cheaper than a full PC.
