a desktop lcd monitor is nothing more than a raw lcd, (the same raw lcd that you would get from a laptop) in a housing with a controller board that converts the vga signal to something usable for said lcd...... a laptop has this board as part of it's assembly.... it is not usable outside of the laptop & is propriatary to that particular laptop....

the only way you are going to get your vga signal to become something usable to a raw lcd is with a controller board.... there's no if's and's or but's about it, there's no magical or overlooked solution....no parts from any other obscure items or no amount of motherboards strung togeather are going to change this.... you must have a controller that is compatable with the lcd in question.... there are many different types of lcd's & they require different controllers based on what they are

to make a desktop into a big *** laptop you would either add a lcd monitor(that has the controller board as part of it's assy) or a raw lcd & a controller that is compatable with the lcd
