Raspberry Pi as a lightweight viewer question

Hey guys, I wasn't sure if this was the best place to ask this or the Pi sub. So I have frigate up and running on my Dell R630 server running in a VM with 5 cameras. I'm looking to put a tv screen in my house displaying the cameras from frigate. I have a 16 GB Pi 5 and three Pi 0 2Ws laying around that I used to use for Pi-hole DNS, but have since installed in VMs. I'm looking to repurpose one of the Pi 0s to do it, since that would be their sole purpose. But they struggle opening a browser and running a desktop environment with their 500 MB of ram. Has anyone ever tried to do something similar to this? I may need to run a different operating system, but I'm most familiar with Debian based Linux systems. I'd rather not use the Pi 5 if I don't have to, since it feels like a waste of resources, but will if I have to. Any ideas or tips would be appreciated!
