    I was wondering if it was possible to connect a laptop screen to a desktop video card for I mod I'm thinking of doing or if the wires are different.
    It doesn't matter whether it uses a CRT or DVI connection as I have both.

    Thanks.

    Close it before Acrim gets here :p

    Most of the laptop screens I have seen would require a controller that costs more than just buying a desktop tft and gutting it.

    Sad, huh?

    LOL I might get to implementing my idea this summer after I understand all the algorithims I need, but the cost of flash converters is still scary for somthing I want to publish for the hobbiest crowd.
