Ideas for 11.3" LCD monitors
IG-88:
OK. So I got these LCD laptop replacement monitors (for an IBM Thinkpad 760) and I'm needing some ideas on what to use them for. They were real cheap so of course I HAD to have them, now what the hell do I do with them. They are brand new, still with the protective film on the screen. Any ideas anybody?
Trimoor:
You could give one to me. Please?
Make a video marquee. Make a video projector. Make a bartop cab. Make a virtual window. Take the backlight off one and make a transparent monitor like in minority report.
So many possibilities. I recommend the first one. ;D

They need (semi) expensive driver boards to get them to work with a PC... It's not just a matter of a cable hack or anything like that. Unless you've got the $$$ for the boards, they don't make good project screens.
Trimoor:
You can still make LCD window blinds. Tie all the rows and columns together and build a little circuit to control it's transparency.
If you have a thinkpad laptop, you could attach all the monitors in parallel to make dozens of cloned displays.
