So I want to build a Vita-like handheld with a 6 inch 1080p screen and HDMI input for my PS4 as an alternative to remote play. The screen must be thin enough. Any suggestions?
I'm all in for those kind of DIY-gagdets, would you mind sharing some more info about your project?
-What hardware should be inside your Handheld? Low power like PI-Zero or mighty like an UP-Board...
-What kind of housing you wanna use? With a 6 inch display a used WiiU Gamepad would give you enough space for powerful hardware and a decent battery. But it's not really slim...
-What do u wanna do with your handheld? Some low end emulation or full fledged gaming incl. streaming games from PC/PS4?
-Whats your budget/skill? Have you done some kind of tinkering/soldering in the past and are you aware that those kind of projects eat up a good amount of money from start to finish?
For reference, here is a handheld-project, i've done some years ago:

The weight is not a problem. I will figure something out. Here is something else I found, but it's 1 inch too short and holy shit, the price.Yeah, i get it! The "Vita-like" has put me on the wrong rails...
Just source ebay for a broken 6" tablet and hot glue the full-hd display in!
Since you'll be wired (hdmi) anyway, no need to put in a battery, just an extra plug to power the display.
But i don't think playing this way will be comfy, even the slimmest hdmi cables are kinda sturdy/heavy. Not to mention the weight of the display itself...
You wanna use a DS4 and a craddle to hold the display?
I already have an android device with remote play. The point is to NOT use remote play as the quality doesn't compare to a direct HDMI connection.If the hanheld is android you can install a PS4 remote play apk.
Because the Switch has an HDMI-In port, right?Just wait for the Nintendo Switch ??
