there was an older dell laptop here at work and is going to be tossed, so i gutted it out. i took out the lcd with the intention of ebay'ing. but now that i think about it, could i use it in any other way? like would it be possible to hook it up to a normal pc? use for a "car-puter"?

edit - just some details... the lcd is from an inspiron 7000. after i took the lcd outta the case, i noticed it had a hitachi sticker on the back.

how? zolty mentioned a $300 converter, but that didn't seem like a very economically sound decision.
