Hello, I require a number of 9.7" (or similar size) displays for Pepper's ghost illusions in an installation involving a number of compact viewing cabinets with internal dioramas. My signal for the video is HDMI. I initially tested a standard compact monitor with HDMI input but discovered that the black regions of the screen were not sufficiently black enough because of the backlight - and the square form of the display became apparent on the transparent film stretch across the diorama. I tried a 9.7" Android tablet with an Amoled display and this worked very well with excellent contrast and black blacks. These tablets require a HDMI to USB converter and software such as USB Camera Pro to display the video. The problem, is that such connections are fragile and if the cable gets bumped or pulls out during playback, it is possible to damage the device (I've damaged two such devices in development). There's also the issue that many tablets cannot use "on the go" (OTG) USB and charge simultaneously - not without a special circuit at least.
Can anyone please suggest an alternative to using tablets or perhaps an alternative to Amoled/Oled displays? I have found it hard to find any Amoled displays around the 10" size which aren't tablets.
Thanks a lot.
