Cheapest IPS tablet?? Help!

Help!

 

I plan to add some very cheap tablets around my house as a sort of smart home controller on the wall, however all the cheap tablets I've found so far have had TERRIBLE viewing angles. 

 

So basically I'd love to hear from you about some cheap tablets that have moderately good to great viewing angles. Ideally I'd like to spend $100ish, and I'm totally okay with a no-name brand on eBay or something. This will literally just be used to touch buttons, so it doesn't need to be powerful. I would be open to the idea of used as well. 

 

Android would be the ideal operating system since there are nice automation apps to help with the smart home idea, but I'll take whatever suggestions you got. 

 

Thanks!
