Moving to a new house and the kids will have a playroom upstairs. I am OK with them having a tv with apps I have set up for them, but we also have a good number of physical DVDs and blu rays.

The TV will be mounted to the wall, and there is no space for a table underneath due to a closet door being right there.

I’d like to have a Blu ray player for them to use. I have found a couple of TVs with built-in DVD players and an external slot-load DVD player that I could mount vertically. But no blu ray. No one in the house is a gamer, so PlayStation is pointlessly expensive!

Am I out of luck?

We have a Sony blu-ray player that is fairly small and mounted to the wall with a rack from Amazon. It sits vertical, but isn't hard to load. Even though we have quite a few hard disc media, no one ever really watches it due to all the streaming content.

This situation begs for a Plex setup where you can control what they have access to and no additional equipment.

This seems a lot more tech-intense than I am capable of! I don’t have a dedicated laptop to commit to the cause. Am I reading too much into this?

I don’t have the tv yet, leaning toward a Roku setup for them.
