HDMI Screen that fits in a Mac Plus

So I have had a Mac Plus collecting dust for many moons - no keyboard or mouse that I can find - and I find out today, I can throw a MacOS emulator on a Raspberry Pi.

Does anyone know what the physical dimensions of the bezel are for the Mac Plus, and/or an HDMI screen that would fit inside it's 9-inch diagonal? Tricks: I know it must be 4:3 and flat in front so it can sit flush inside the case.

I have literally spent about five minutes considering this, so I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum or if the question's already been answered.

Thanks!

I had the same problem finding a screen, I went for an 8" tft panel 1024x768. It has HDMI and VGA inputs.

A 10" panel will be just too big and you can't get 9" ones. I used the original glass front of the screen and cut the rest of the CRT away.

I'm trying to find the details for you but I bought it on ebay and it doesn't save details of things older than 60 days.

Here's the mod that I did, but I used a core2quad instead, the Pi will fit in much easier! https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1723258/
