Great stuff. Thanks for the update. I wonder if the display is at a specific size and resolution, so by integrating the screen it is a "known" element.
I had kinda hoped it would be a box that would plug into the K3, and then plug into an available screen. You could put it on a 44" LCD, or a 20" LCD, what ever your budget was. Not to poo poo the thing before it is out. I am very much looking forward to it regardless of the integrated screen. In days of old, I worked on a panoramic receiver that was used by the B-52G/H and I very much look forward to playing with one again.
