10" HDMI 1080P displays
-
Honestly I have no idea in the TV space.
When you hook up a 1366 x 768 monitor to a PC, the video card knows the resolution of the monitor and attempts to us only that.
I don't know if TVs work the same way or not. I want to make sure that my new TV will be displaying at it's best resolution possible, even if a lower res one is attached to the second output.

TVs and monitors store their possibile resolutions in a small IC and your PC will query this (keyword is EDID).
Anyway, most modern TVs and monitors support some form of upscaling, thus they are calculating the rest of the picture. If your screen doesn't support that, you can:
- Place an upscaling device in front (Denon AV receivers for example are doing a good job here). Something else (just an example): http://www.amazon.com/Panlong-PL-SH2H-Converter-Upscaler-Consoles/dp/B00D86UYBS
- Upscale the content on the video source. Relatively easy with a PC, hard with something like an old video cam.
You could even DIY, but that requires some knowledge. What is the exact use case / purpose? Digital (HDMI) or analog source?

About your initial question: Embedded displays like those in some tablets. China is your friend here
Maybe a car entertainment screen? -
You won't need a scaler these LCD monitors are meant for 1080p and 720p signals.

And after me writing 1080p this whole time, I'm reminded that my new TV is now 4K.

my AV equipment is in a remote location to viewing area.
I want to put a monitor where the viewing equipment is so I can make changes, updates and see that the output is working without having to go back to the viewing room each time I make a change.

Don't you have a monitor out on your AV receiver?
HDMI splitter may also work

I don't want to be that guy but couldn't you just set up a wireless security camera that only supports live streaming of video and monitor it that way? Seems like an awful lot of work for very little gain.

yes I do, but as I explained above, I don't know how output on AV receivers work.
In the PC world, when you connect a 1366 x 768 display to an HDMI port, that's all the resolution you get. You might be lucky and able to force it to something different, but unlikely.
But the ability to force this type of change seems unlikely on AV equipment. So I'm wondering, does the AV equipment know what the receiving display is capable of outputting, or does it not care and just output whatever it's set to?

Lots of screens only show their native resolution. So no matter what you feed them, they show you native.

OK that's good to know (I think).
So I'm going to have a 4K TV on the main output from the receiver, and a 1080p or less on the secondary one - does anyone thing this won't work when I'm watching 4K content? i.e. the secondary monitor won't work?

Both ends negotiate about protocols, codecs, resolution and so on. After this "handshaking" the sender will choose the best that was offered by the receiver. A good sender may allow you to choose a mode from a list. I'm not a Yammi fanboy, so I can't help with your receiver.

At the end of the day, you should just try it. Got a spare TV or Full-HD HDMI monitor?

I will have to buy something to try it.

@Dashrender Would get some used HDMI TV or Monitor (Full HD., 1920x1080). You may use that as your monitor later. If it doesn't work as expected, well, happy second monitor for your home office

This.

When you are looking at the small HD displays that have lower than HD resolution ever single one of them have scalers in them for 1080p and 720p the are meant for professional video applications with field monitors. We do not use scalers between the source and them, the moms toes do it themselves..
There is so much bad information in this thread it's not even funny. This site is becoming another spiceworks.
