Disassembled TFT screens as external monitors???

[airduct]

hey guys,

is there a way to use a laptop/notebook's disassembled tft screen and hook it up to a desktop? I figured there would be compatibility issues with connectors/video cards/power etc. i have been searching the web looking for DIY projects that rip apart the laptops and use them for external monitors...something similar to the mp3car projects (but they buy their monitors preassembled and it's too small)

any websites/forums with any info on these projects? any advice on the difficulty of these projects? thanks

You may be able to, but you will require a controller board, which go from anywhere in the region of $150 and skywards. Check EarthLCD if they have any controller boards for the specific monitor you have or are looking to use.
