I'm personally a fan of MagicMirror [1] which is pretty much a turnkey solution for this problem. I have one set up on an old Raspberry Pi connected to a spare wall-mounted monitor. What I love with MagicMirror is that it's a modular system, where you choose which modules you want to have and where to display them. I only use it to display a shared calendar with my wife, along with the week's weather. But there are a few hundred modules, with things like displaying your expected commute time (based on Google maps I think), integrations with some apps like AnyList, etc.
