So, I ended up going down the tablet route. I found this full HD 10.6" tablet on Amazon for only $139. It looked like good specs and I've kinda wanted a tablet for a while, so I figured I might just kill two birds with one stone.
Only problem, once I tried to display in any of the browsers, is that even though the display is 1920x1080, Android browsers like to restrict the resolution INSIDE the browser. And every browser was different (I tried Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin).
I beat my head against the wall a bit trying to figure out how to force these browsers into the viewport resolution I wanted, but to no avail. Firefox has an advanced feature to set the width, but I still couldn't get the height right. Then, after more googling, I found that you can code the viewport size right into a website header and effectively force the browser into what you want.
So I added the below line into the "head" portion of index.php:
Now it's all set. I run Dolphin in full-screen mode with my RaspberryPints webserver set as the home page, and it loads beautifully.
Just thought this might help some of you trying to do the same.
