Hi,
This answer is a Rockwell orientated answer, but it may be something that Siemens can also offer in there software offering. I did the same thing using a small form factor PC, and factory talk view ME station. This basically game me a HMI on a TV. I then created a HMI application with a custom Resolution that matched the TV. Rob

Check out the Red Lion ProducTVity Station. It will output to a TV screen.

There are tons of way to do this. What's your experience, budget, and requirement? That will narrow your search down.
Just to throw some out there... - Raspberry PI - commercial HMI package running on PC. - LED message display board (I know, not TV but maybe better suited) |

Weintek also has an interesting product for this application. Have't used it as yet.

IMHO a nice solution would be Modbus to a Raspberry Pi, or something of the like. The Pi can run Win 10 and HDMI, so whatever your preferred HMI development environment is there's a way to get it on a large screen.

Most PC's can output to a TV... one of the last projects I worked on, the overview page of the SCADA was so large that we used a TV instead to display it for the entire control room.
The issue will be on the budget side of things as you would generally need some sort of SCADA software to run on a PC for this. |

Haven't used them myself, but the Insevis software will integrate easily with a Siemens system, and the price is right.
