Thanks for ask these replies! I'm pretty new to displays do this has been very informative. For the project in working on, I'll be using a smaller screen, maybe with a touch screen. Something like this:

According to the page it accepts an 8-bit signal. From the looks of it, this would be able to directly use the RGB/TTL signal.

Another question I have is about SPI based displays. There seems to be a lot in this size range. Would those be able to display hardware accelerated video? Is that even a concern with this small of a display?

Well, then. I have been corrected.

Fun fact: all you need to hook an eDP display up to any computer with a DisplayPort output -- is a cable that adapts the connectors to each other. Someone on Hackaday did that a year or two ago. I thought it was neat then and I still do... don't think I bookmarked it tho.
