An extremely interesting prospect you've got here. What's stopping you from doing it right now?

Nothing. I just realize that as I age, there's only so much a single person can do ;)

I would definitely spend time and money contributing to a "Universal Dumb Display" (UDD?)

Consider making this a kickstarter!

I would guess the massive investments needed for a hardware startup.

Most of the upfront cost for hardware is usually setting up tooling and assembly lines for manufacture. In this case, I'd assume most if not all parts already exists and can be sourced. That negates a lot of it.

Kickstarter could solve this no?
