Does anyone know the native resolution that this madcatz display uses or what panel they use?

So I called Madcatz, and they advised that it is 1440 X 234.

1440 X 234 resolution

If that is 1440 by 234 full-color pixels, then this would be a VERY unusual LCD.

I bet it is 1440 red, green, and blue subpixels, which is "marketing-speak" for 480 true pixels.

You are correct, it is 480X234 and is what I was getting at...although it did not come through as clear as have said it.
In any case it is not suitable for DIY projection.

Why does everyone insist that that is an unsuitable resolution for projection? A PSOne lcd is only 320X240 and many people have built with them. If you get one cheap and can live with less than 100 inches they work just fine. I used a 480X234 7" for quite a while and was very happy with it.
