MAKE reader Ronal has some pages describing using an old laptop LCD screen as DIY LCD monitor, I'm not exactly sure where/what converter and inverter is being used (and how much it was) but - this is one of the most asked "DIY" mods folks want to do, so - perhaps we can figure out if this worth checking out."

This project is interesting, but he has bought the conversion card. Some French guys are creating their own controler card and it works!

Some work still needs to be done (mainly in the software part), but they are close to finish it.

I've looked into doing this for a LCD monitor on my ex-laptop, but it turned out that for the price of the controller board I could buy a 17" brand-new monitor. Kudos to these guys for figuring it out.
