POV test of the Recon Robot. Made in Inkscape. Post-pro in the Gimp. To be animated with Synfig, and then composite over the Blender anim.

Looking good - it does seem a bit blurry though. Might I suggest scanlines (white 20% opacity horizontal lines across the screen) and perhaps some post-processing by a video editing app, such as Kdenlive (on Linux)? It could really look like a screen then.
Thanks for the comments. I blurred the lines and text on purpose. The un-blurred versions looked too perfect and clean. Plus, the Recon Robot is somewhat old and battered. I tried using scanlines, but it was too distracting and unclear. I'm hoping the red tint is a big enough contrast from the regular view.
Try lowering the opacity of the scanlines further then blurring them? I believe that slowly animated scanlines do produce a nice effect.
Are the numbers on the bottom right going to be animated?
Anyways, perhaps look at some post-processing with video editing software, there are some nice built-in effects like camera jiggering and flickering which could really make it look cool. I don't think Blender's VSE has plugins for those but I could be wrong.
