what i am looking for, is a screen ( part C) that can play videos from a program called "unity program". there is no need for sound. just videos playing will do. I'm looking for a screen size of 16cm by 12cm, do not have to exact. a slight difference will do. the screen must be able to upload the video from a computer. And there should be a button to press for the video to play.

im not sure if i could explain myself properly. do post any question if unclear. Hope to get some replies from you guys !

Edward.

Do you already have a computer to play the video?

Microcontrollers like the Arduino aren't powerful enough to handle video, but small computer boards like the Raspberry Pi can play video, but I don't know if it can run the program you mentioned.

Hi i was planning to use my macbook to create a program that will use mp4 to loopback. i was thinking of uploading the video onto these few display screens. wondering if it is possible to use any one of these to play it. just to play it.

If you have HDMI output on the mac you can use any of the HDMI screens as long as you can set the resolution correctly on your mac.
