I recently came into a pile of V-by-one panels, and discovered boards for them are significantly harder to come by than their eDP or LVDS brethren. But I've found a few on aliexpress and we're up and running:

The nice thing about VBO is the connector is more-or-less standardized, and it's a very durable JAE series, so plugging and unplugging isn't such an issue. (Prototyping with LVDS or MIPI DSI tends to run into fatigue issues unless you're scrupulously gentle.)
Beyond the panel interface, there's also the matter of the backlight. Sometimes the backlight driver is separate, sometimes it's built into the scaler board. The connectors for these are almost always evil and you have to hope your supplier can include the cables, because you'll never find them yourself.
I would loooooove to find a source for the SDK to build the software that runs in the scaler chip. When I buy the scaler boards, they come with random firmware that the supplier isn't particularly interested in updating. Other builds of the same board support DDC/CI but don't have the backlight driver on 'em, and cost more. There's so much stuff about the firmware I'd like to change...
