This is a laptop LCD, you will need a VGA controller to get it to work.

www.earthlcd.com sells the required controller. If you look at their prices, you can see that the $15 LCD isn't really a bargain in the long run.

Well they do day "just add a vga signal" which is not the signal that goes from the controller to the display (hence the need for the controller)

either
1) The seller has lied
2) The seller has no idea
3) The seller is telling the truth, but everyone suspects the above

At $15, it would be worth it to take a pop, see if it does work fine with just a VGA signal

If I was in the US, or that was for sale in the UK, i'd jump on it

Read the other threads on this. It is just a bare LCD screen No pin-outs, unless you want to pay $50 for one.

The answer is not #3.

Another problem with the screen is that these appear to be the screen from a Fujitsu Stylistic 1200. If these are indeed the screens from the stylistcs they are not a touch screen that you can just use your finger on you might need the pen that came with the 1200's in order to do the on screen control, also the Stylistic 1200's are mostly DSTN (some were made with the TFT's).
