You probably know this already, but for anyone else curious about going down that road: For this type of use, it's definitely worth it to constrain yourself to FPGAs with dedicated high-bandwidth transceivers. A "basic" 1080p RGB signal at 60hz requires some high-frequency signal processing that's really hard to contend with in pure FPGA-land.

That's good to know actually. I'm still very very early in my FPGA adaption (learning the fpga basics) and I am intending to start with standard 640x480 VGA before expanding.
