    Hey guys,
    I have 3 laptop displays sitting around
    -1: 17" from an old Sony AIO (samsung monitor)
    -1: 15.4" from a hp which I burnt out the cpu :confused:
    -1: 15.4" from a dell which the power plug broke and was not worth the price to fix

    1.) I'm wondering if I can convert these into desktop monitors fairly easily?

    2.) Can I trash my 17" go video display and replace it with the samsung laptop display?

    3.) Can laptop displays be interchanged?
    (would love to put dell cpu/display in hp laptop)

    I <3 hp. died after 7 years of almost non-stop use
    (now I know why cpu heatsinks need working fans :( )

    also, if anyone has any ideas I'm willing to try them because the displays are just laying around. how does a display on the side of my old hp desktop case sound? :D
