Minimum requirements for running a dashboard

In this article:

Geckoboard runs on a huge range of devices and platforms, however occasionally we come across some setups that aren't suitable for displaying a dashboard at its best. If you're unsure as to whether Geckoboard will run on a particular device, we recommend the following as a minimum requirement.

Browser: Chrome or Firefox (updated to latest version to fully support HTML5 and JavaScript). IE9 and below and stock Android browsers are not supported.

System: 512MB memory recommended as a minimum.

Other important details:

Supports landscape or portrait modes
Supports full screen mode
Has an HDMI output or proper cable for your screen
Allows for easy text input (for navigating to your dashboard)
Capable of connecting to a wireless network

Note: Unfortunately Smart TVs generally don't work well for loading your dashboard due to the low processing power generally available within TVs.

Their browser software also can contain security loopholes, doesn’t benefit from frequent updates from manufacturers and tends to become outdated quickly. As a rule we do not recommend relying on this as a solution.
