Here is another option:
ASRock N3150DC-ITX Mini-ITX Motherboard - if you can find one.
SoC – Intel Celeron N3150 quad core processor @ up to 2.08 GHz with Intel HD Graphics Gen8 @ up to 640 MHz – 6W TDP
There are some other Celeron SoC boards that take 19v DC power. The Asus Q1900DC-ITX uses the J1900.
Look for “Thin Mini-ITX” normally that means the DC in.

This is going to be my Family Info Board. Still need to get the actual H/W though :-)
Pool info is from my in progress AutelisPentair module - almost done.
I made a small change to this module.
If you add the following:
awayTempColumn.setAttribute(“team-name”, games.away_team_name);
homeTempColumn.setAttribute(“team-name”, games.home_team_name);
Then you can do this in your custom.css:
.MMM-MLB .awayteam[team-name=“Giants”] { color: #FB5B1F; font-weight: bold; }
.MMM-MLB .hometeam[team-name=“Giants”] { color: #FB5B1F; font-weight: bold; }
And now, my Giants are in Giant orange…

This module is great - a couple items related to support for the ‘official 7" pi touchscreen’
I can probably code this up and submit a PR if you want - the on/off is easy to do because that is already in the helper. Brightness would need to get moved to the helper away from the CSS tricks.
It is interesting that controlling the brightness of a monitor itself over HDMI is surprisingly non-existent, but the 7" touchscreen h/w rev: 1.1 does indeed support direct brightness manipulation:
You can control the brightness of the backlight itself by:
echo X > /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness
where X is a value between 0 and 255
And you can turn off the backlight with
echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/bl_power
and turn it back on with:
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/bl_power

In the spec sheet you posted, see where it says CN3 on page 4 &5. This is an optional connector that may (or may not) be on the board.
Pins 3 & 4 are 5v and 5 & 6 are GND.
Note, however, unless you want to do some simple PCB soldering this isn’t the way to go. What I did was attach some header pins to the board, cut one end off a USB cable and attached it to the pins, then plugged it in the normal way into the RPi.
I realize this is an old thread - but the rpi3 does have an OpenGL driver that you can install via raspi-config under “Advanced”
It does have a GPU - “Broadcom Video Core”

That is an early look at @Sean 's upcoming module MMM-calendarExtDays.
He is about to release an updated version under a new name - look on the forum here for MMM-calendarExtDays

I’m terrible with the soldering iron but here is what I did

Love it!
Installed it on the family info board, and the kids think its great.
