Hello! Overview I'm starting a project where I put computer thermals/vitals/stats and videos onto a display within my computer case and hoping to get any advice or pointers. Microcontroller I am between the RPI 4 Model B and the RPI Zero W. I will probably get the RPI 4 model B as it has a Mipi DSI interface and the RPI Zero W would require a converter. I want something with Wi-Fi so I can run an API from my desktop where the info it needs can be retrieved from there. Alternatively, I can use serial communication through the USB port but I think less wires and ports taken is ideal. Display Ideally, I'd like a display about 12" x 4" with a resolution around 1920x515. Can anyone recommend me something like this? When I've gone looking, I've only come across options with interfaces I don't think are compatible. Thank you for any advice!!

Check out a ESP32 and a small SPI display. Using a Pi is over kill for this use case.
