Dashboards

I've got a bit of a dilemma. I have created a dashboard under my Splunk user account. I'd like folks to see this dashboard on a separate big monitor on the wall. What would be the best way to deploy this?

A long cord from your computer to the monitor?
Maybe get a service account name and pw from your admins, to run the dashboard, so you don't have to stay logged in all the time?
Maybe get the monitor it's own computer that runs as that account, and can access splunk, displays its browser on the monitor in fullscreen mode?
Maybe there's a keyboard and mouse (or an all in one) so when people need to log in or whatever, they can easily make changes?
If none of this helps, then maybe provide a few more details to understand exactly what you're trying to do and what you have already tried.

We have a big monitor where these dashboards will be displayed. The dashboards will be running from a laptop that is near that big monitor. I had an account created specifically that I can use to log into that laptop. The account mirrors my own AD account that I use to successfully authenticate into Splunk. When RDP'd into this laptop, I can not log into Splunk with either that new account nor my own account and keep getting "400" type of errors.

I tried logging into Splunk via that new account from my own laptop. It will not recognize the new account but authenticates me with no issues when I use my own AD account. This has been an ongoing mystery now for weeks that I haven't been able to figure out.

I'm at my wits end here and need to display these dashboards for the boss, but need a way of projecting them on that big monitor so he can view them throughout the day.
