Currently, in order to have video, people are thinking about using the Raspberry Pi, FPGA, the EVE chip, the 4D system board or something else. There is an Arm device that has a GPU built in.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allwinner_A1X
The Allwinner A1X, known under Linux as sunxi, is a family of single-core SoC devices designed by Allwinner Technology from Zhuhai, China. Currently the family consists of the A10,[1] A13,[2] A10s[3] and A12. The SoCs incorporate the ARM Cortex-A8 as its main processor[4] and the Mali 400 as the GPU.
The video formats include:
Multi-channel HD displays
Built-in HDMI
YPbPr, CVBS, VGA
LCD interfaces: CPU, RGB, LVDS up to Full 1080P HDTV

Any idea of the cost of one of these?

It is basically a Chinese chip and the web suggests it costs $7 but the chip and development boards look advanced.

If you put this link in Google Translate, you will see what I'm talking about:

There are plenty of 8-bit microcontrollers that cost a whole heap more than that, so $7 is very impressive. Technology certain is moving ahead in leaps and bounds!
