    First of all, such panels obviously do exist. Not just that laptops have 17" full HD displays but the ASUS Transformer AiO has a 18.4 full HD panels and the Dell XPS 18 also has one -- I wonder whether they use the same panel, even.

    But both are too expensive. I just would like a tiny bit smaller than the AOC e2351f I carry around without paying a fortune for a computer I don't use.

    I don't know of any. However, you can build your own by pairing the panel with the right controller board. There are complete DIY methods and ready-made controller boards out there as well.

    The problem is the casing.

    A few notes from a different thread, that might be relevant...

    Good observation OP, and one that's certainly in need of filling. This is where venture capitalist and entrepreneurs begins: Find a a segment that no one had addressed and fill it. Go for it OP. If you don't, then perhaps I will?
