173642 2003-09-07 09:01:00 I've just had an idea,
I'm currently looking for a new monitor - and i came across a working laptop screen for $20.

I was thinking, would it be possible to connect this up to my pc and use it as a second screen?

I read somewhere regarding this that you'd need to buy a separate card - anyone know wot this would be?

Also, I am using a GF FX with Analogue, RCA, and a digital LCD plugs - so perhaps i could use this????

Anyone have any thoughts, info, even past experience regarding this issue?

Cheers

Cheers
