I want to incorporate some small LCD screens playing video into an artwork I am planning. I am familiar with basic electronics, microprocessors, etc., but I am suffering from a case of I don't know what I don't know in this video area.
I wonder if someone could give advice on two issues (and any related ones I might not know about).
1) Finding bare LED screens 4"-7" or so that can accommodate a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Where does one source these? I have done some searching, but I not finding what I want -- a screen I can incorporate into my own enclosure. I don't need touchscreen capability, just a screen to play video on.
2) What's needed to connect to Raspberry Pi.
A Raspberry Pi 3 looks to me like the most cost-effcient way to playback video (if there's a better way, I'd love to hear about it). It has HDMI out. What's would be needed to get a bare LED screen of the kind noted above ready to hook up to a Raspberry Pi 3? Do I just need some kind of HDMI breakout, or is there some kind of circuitry needed between the LED screen and the HDMI output.
Any help and suggestions gratefully received.
