 ... which is 1.4ghz @ 24-bit colour and 60fps, easily handled by a
single LVDS channel as it'll be 6 bits per channel which is only
around 400mhz.

 ... which would be 3x the data rate so would need dual LVDS @ 600mhz
or triple @ 400mhz, assuming you can _get_ LVDS versions of 2048x1536
LCDs, that kind of resolution is starting to stray into MIPI and eDP
territory...

 yep, they're all eDP.

 ... but it's ok - it can't do eDP either :)
