Take a lcd screen from a laptop-intact and mod it to use as a pc screen?

Any help would be appreciated!

If you need any details then fire away!

I don't think it is all that easy to do, because most laptops use LVDS panels or smart panel, which connect directly to the motherboard and does not need any conversion of the VGA signal, whereas normal TFT monitors use a panel connected through an A/D board which converts the VGA signal into something the panel can understand.
What is the model number of the panel?

I saw a website once that explained how to do this, I cant remember where it was but you might be able to find it on google. It seemed however that its a very very difficult process and even the "experts" cant do it with every screen.
