But thanks for posting this. I'm mildly interested because of two projects that I never get around to. 1) I bought a Kobo Arc 7 HD on boxing day ($40 from Factory Direct), thinking I might butcher it for its 1920x1200 IPS screen and using it for a raspberry pi. But it seems like a shame since the tablet actually works OK. I assume that the interface in the kobo is LVDS. The ebay ad says the board support resolutions up to 2048X1152 (that's 2359296 pixels) and I assume that it would support 1920x1200 (2304000 pixels). 2) A few years ago I bought an Asus 15.6" notebook. I like most of it but the screen is nasty (tn, 1366x768). I looked into replacing the screen with a higher res one but all the places that sold replacement screens refused to even suggest a screen that would work in the Asus. This problem is the reverse of the other one: I want a laptop's video chain to support a better panel. As far as I can tell, Asus never sold a version of this notebook with a higer resolution screen so there may be things missing that are required to do so. (Isn't it sad that the quality and resolution of the 15.6" notebook ($400) is so much less that of the 7" tablet ($40).)
