Just an FYI that Dashing - http://shopify.github.io/dashing/ (Open Source) and http://www.geckoboard.com/ (Paid) already have tons of modules available if you're looking to get going right away.

I also have a Raspberry Pi powering our dashboards but it really struggles to render some javascript, especially if we switch between tabs every 30 seconds. Any ideas for the cheapest possible way to power the TVs other than a Raspberry Pi?

Edit: Also https://ducksboard.com/ exists as well as a paid option

I have been forced to abandon our rpi for our 'information radiator'. Too many card corruptions (several different cards) makes me think I just had a faulty one. But really, it struggled and wasn't particularly smooth. I've just ordered one of these, though they won't be shipping for another month or two: http://www.solid-run.com/cubox
I use a Chromecast.
