Yes normally I would just recommend going with an android tablet mounted
somehow as an all in one device. But as you're looking to integrate into
an existing system in this case then that's probably not what you want.

There are a couple of ALIX boards with VGA output but these will
probably be underpowered for what you want to do with media. Quite a few
people use fanless Intel Atom boards for that sort of thing but these
are a completely different power class. It's possible to use a netbook
to achieve that too.

You can get an active digital to analog converter to use with an ARM
board that only has HDMI output.
