A new HMD screen option with 2048x1536 resolution from PC

Post by greymatr »

A hardware hacker by the name Emeryth has worked out how to connect an iPad Retina screen to a PC via a Display Port cable.

More information here: http://emerythacks.blogspot.com.au/2013 ... to-pc.html

He is running it at full 2048x1536 Resolution and it only cost him $55 for the screen.

Would it be possible to use a screen of this size, 9.7" for a HMD?

This topic already has multiple threads. Do we need another one. It would be better to continue this topic in an existing and active thread. Here is one of them (a cross-post, also by you):

How many forums did you cross-post this to?

Just here and the oculus one, I intended for the other one to be about upgrading the oculus dev rift. But I realize now one thread is enough and I apologize for the cross posting.
