Which is the largest display (available here at adafruit) that an arduino leonardo (or similar or Teensy) can drive?
Which is the largest display anyone has seen an arduino (or teensy) drive?

Is there a specific resolution (minimum or maximum) you were hoping to work with?

Does it matter if the display is a RGB panel or does it need to be a TFT?

You will be limited to a 3.5" TFT 320x480 in terms of plug and play with written guides for Arduino based older controllers.

There are HDMI and DAC hacks to get you into large (think desktop monitors / tvs) using M0, M4 or RP2040 boards.

This probably goes without saying, but if you really want to drive a big screen it would be easiest to use a Raspberry Pi.

Thanks, that’s what I thought. I just don’t want the overhead of running a full OS or the delay in boot up

I certainly understand the desire to avoid running an entire OS and waiting for boot times.

I think the RP2040 HDMI display hack buys you the biggest display option, but it still depends on your content.
