Another method to figure it out wich interface are u using is if u have twisted wires..then most of are lvds...if it is a flexible ribbon...then it's ttl

Only half right, noob.
True, you can easily extend LVDS. Flase is the fact that twisted wires indicate LVDS, and that a flat ribbon indicates a TTL panel.
The length of the cable will determine if twisted pairs are needed. Plus, if you look ever so closely at a flat LVDS ribbon cable, you will see that the clock and data pairs are actually twisted.

EDIT: WTF?? I must be out of it. I just replied to a year old post. Damn I need sleep.
