    I replaced my Lenovo Y50 screen and want to turn the old screen into a second monitor. I need to buy the right controller for the display.

    I have the B156HTN03.6 screen and the eBay seller I'm talking (njytouch) says that they haven't done it for that display before and want a datasheet, which I can't find. Has anyone done this with the stock AUO display? Any help?

    Thanks

    edit: found the datasheet, if anyone needs it:

    Still would appreciate any tips
