STM32 LTDC - Maximum resolution

I am planning to interface a STM32H753XI to a 1400x480 display. Here is the reference manual. Now, the maximum resolution given for the STM is 1024x728. I understand that this is the maximum frequency the device can actually output.

Now my desired horizontal resolution exceeds the controllers 1024 pixels. I checked with the registers and they support 11 bit values (so everything up to 2047). Has anyone tried to interface a display with a larger horizontal resolution to an STM? Are the horizontal and vertical pixels a hard limit or is the combined pixel clock frequency the actual limit?

Hi. Read this Application Note. You can achive 1400x480 LTDC resolution with some limits (32-bit SDRAM bus width, 16bpp or 8bpp color depth).

+1 on the 32-bit memory, with high resolutions the bus bandwidth, and interaction between other subsystems becomes highly prescient.

Consider a) your ability to paint and update the frame buffer, b) read data from other time constrained sourced, ie eMMC or SDCard

Some of the DISCO designs use 16-bit wide memory to free up pins, but this also limits performance.
