You can buy an overhead projector and convert it into an super-huge LCD projector.

This doesnt belong in highly technical

Most likely you will not be able to use the LCD for anything else, particularily VGA or s-video because the LCD is digital, not analog. This question gets asked here occasionally. I would suggest to try to sell it on eBay or something.

There are LCD Controllers out there which you'll need to buy. These may run you up to $150 I think. The entire process is pretty complicated but it is possible to connect a VGA or DVI connector to a laptop LCD. Though the effort and price that comes with it probably will get you a good 17" LCD to begin with...
