The NX platforms don't need two screens to be compatible, they just both need to have a touch screen. Since TVs don't have touch, the controller will need to have it built in. And the NX tablet can simulate two screens if need be NY flipping vertically and dividing the screen like 2DS.
Gamepad was rejected as a tablet function because it's a crappy tablet. It looks like a cheap Leapfrog device, not a premium product like an iPad. If NXTab can boast the kind of setup described in this thread, it could be viewed as a superior product to most tablets rather than a child's toy alternative.

Are you seriously trying to imply that a 540p screen gaming tablet would be seen by anyone as a "superior product," because that's absolutely ridiculous. The gamepad was reflected because no one wants a device that big and bulky as a gaming controller. They both need two screens. There is no way to accurately replicate the two screens of an NX-like device on a singular tablet in a satisfying way. Saying that the NX only has a tablet because of the touch screen makes zero sense. That would mean that EVERY NX game would need to be played only on the gamepad, because there's no possible way to make that style of game playable on the TV without some major confessions. Every game would effectively be Kirby Rainbow Curse, making playing on the TV literally pointless. All because it had to be compatable with the tablet like NX. Not happening. Every game will be like Revalations, or Smash 4, or Hyrule Warriors, or all the countless other 3DS-Wii U games that use both screens with a similar layout, only far more efficient.

Screen could be 1280x720 (HD), some games like those with XB1 complexity could just run at 960x540. 99% of people wouldn't know any better, 99% of people who played Call of Duty (the most popular "HD" game from last gen) couldn't tell that it was running at a sub-720p resolution on their 50-inch 1080P displays.
I'd bet most Vita owners aren't aware that a good chunk of their games run at sub native resolutions too.
The remote play feature on the Vita though at least to me shows that PS4 graphics can look quite nice even on the Vita's 540p display. A lot of its depends on not using a display that's complete shit too. It the display is half way decent, most people won't know any better.
Nintendo uses such terrible quality LCD displays though it's like from something out of your grandma's $99 portable Wal-Mart DVD player from 2003.
