1080p60 in digital video is a ~1.5GHz I/O rate after the 8b/10b encoding and all that nonsense, which... that's a _lot_. The cost of video scales unintuitively quickly. I'm not sure an ECP5 could do that without the hardware serdes. The IO can be configured for LDVS differential whatnots, but... that's a tall order.
1080p60 analog is a ~150MHz pixel clock, so iiuc that wants a ~600MHz DAC. Those exist, but they're firmly in the $30-100 range per color channel.
