Those boards you find on ebay are for driving laptop and tablet displays, not TVs. I doubt there is going to be an eDP or DSI connector in a TV.
The best options are to just never connect a TV to the internet, use a large computer monitor, or buy a commercial display if you don't care about picture quality.
I don't think this is edp or dsi out. Seems to be parallel 50 pin
Parallel RGB is typically only used on low resolution displays. It's not practical to run a parallel TTL level interface at the speeds needed for HD.
