I started this project myself. Excellent guide. I was hoping to utilizing a regular 24 inch flatscreen and fill the below space with local stats from our man cave. However, my first go wasn't very successful at getting that space back from the ESPN full screen view. (I might dig a little deeper see what options are out there.) Anyway, I started looking at the 24 inch stretched lcd bars, since that looks much cooler as a dedicated sports tracker. They all seem to require a controller board. I guessing lcd bars are not the same as a monitors, where I could just connect vis an hdmi cable.
