Big milestone - changed status to "Prototype"!
Monitor and the control board came - dug out my old 12v power adapter to test it - all working good.
And a bonus - looks like the controller board doesn't draw any power (or less than 0.1) when the HDMI cable is unplugged. I won't have to worry about draining the battery if I decide to wire screen directly to the power supply (shown draw is the same as when I tested just the 12v power supply):
Waiting for the cooling and a second-hand processor to make some progress with the hardware.
