First post, long time lurker.
Been slowly but surely having my urge to not binge out on simming stuff widdle away.
Anyways I come to ya'll modders and master builders, tinkerers and handymen with a question.
I've recently destroyed my laptop (well an IC burnt up and I can't seem to find a motherboard replacement, Sager NP5135 for what its worth). I parted it out and am in the process of figuring out what to do with the stuff. Make an external HDD out of the HDD, and I now have a spare 1920x1080 LCD screen floating around. It has a plug on the end of it, and isn't one of those terrible ribbon things.
What I'm hoping is that maybe I could salvage that screen, slap some converter thing on it (is what its looking like) and hook it up as a third monitor. Wondering if any of you have had any luck or experience with this sort of thing? I would love to use this as a third monitor (for MFDs or trouble shooting, etc).
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
