I have this old laptop that i have scrapped. I am wondering if there is any way i can rip the screen out and use it for something else? Extra monitor? Mini TV?
Or is this totaly impossible. Or cheaper to get a mini plasma :P

I'm an LCD fan (over CRT) but I agree, laptop LCDs aren't really that great that they're worth preserving.

LCD laptop screens have custom interfaces on top of using digital signals. This makes reuse effectively impossible, unfortunately.
