This device doesn’t do video but for a computer like device you’d want it to drive a 1920x1080 display, which is about 6 mb of framebuffer already. And then you need content to put on it.
- pjmlp 5y agoNah, for C64 or SAM coupé class hardware would be quite alright.

- HALtheWise 5y agoWhile your point in general stands, I do want to point out that 1080p video from a RP2040 has actually been done, and is mind-blowing. https://youtu.be/mjFwR3feyV0 https://youtu.be/mjFwR3feyV0 This definitely isn't the sort of programming where you can just wastefully allocate ram for a full uncompressed frame buffer, but that also opens the door to sub-frame latencies.
- guenthert 5y agoI don't have the need for a FHD display driven by a MCU, but 'racing-the-beam' seems feasible with a RP2040. (which would allow using the screen at high resolution for, say, game graphics -- actual video is a different story)
