I have a Samsung 14" LCD sitting on my desk.

came from a laptop.

I know the LCD FAQ says forget about it....so....any interesting ideas?
 
the lcd faq usually knows it stuff.

You could build a catipult and see how far you can launch it though (I take no responsibility if you get hurt doing this, its only an idea, please use common sense)

I have a 14.1" Samsung LCD that came from a laptop that is undergoing a conversion to a full fledged XGA monitor. Basically, expect to pay $150-200 on a controller, more if you don't have an inverter for the backlight and cable, and if you can handle that, I think you'll find my project interesting. Everything will be revealed in just a few days.
 
thats crazy money for a 14inch laptop screen but I bet its a fun project. You will have to tell the vga faq guys all about it too.
 
It's not cheap but I have yet to see an XGA capable 14" LCD monitor for this price. My project is nearly complete and I've spent just over $175 on it. I think you'll find it to be a decent alternative to the commercially produced LCDs. Anyways, I will spare you the hype, I get carried away sometimes ;)
 
hell, I'd love to see that.

if I could do that, oh man i'd have fun.

what's the PN on your Samsung?

Mine is LT141X7-124. It looks like you have the inverter and cable assembly, so all you would need is power supply and controller card. I would suggest doing a Google search for the LCD module you have, making note of other flat panels that are drop-in replacements of your LCD. Keep a list, and then check to see if the panel is compatible with one of Digital View's controller cards. Digital View has a page that lets you check for compatible controller cards for a given LCD module:

Your LCD isn't listed, but perhaps one of it's drop-in replacements is.
