Well, you put a DVD drive in the laptop, and run software for viewing the
DVDs, and you've got your DVD player.

Or, get a card thatt has video in, and feed your external DVD player into
that. (I don't know if there are limitations in doing this).

The LCD display in a laptop is meant for integrated use in the laptop.
It's not like a VGA monitor that accepts VGA signals. It is interfaced
at a different level. Without the laptop, you'd be missing needed
electronics.

Every time a question like this comes up, the answer is pretty pessimistic.
There's not enough information available about the laptop displays, and
even if one had such information it would require work.

as far as I can tell,

http://www.hy-line.de/computer/frames/frame_display_kits.html

make separate lcd controller modules that might do this. The german only
site makes it hard to tell though.
