Wanted: Analogue laptop screen

[Ian K (N)]

Hello all

I'm looking for a laptop LCD screen a 10 or 12 inch one. It needs to be
analogue/VGA compatible. I'm trying not to spend too much on this project
and would consider a second hand one. If anyone in the UK can help?

There's no reason for a laptop screen to be vga compatible, so there
probably aren't any. You can buy PC cards to drive laptop screens.
You can buy converters from VGA to drive a laptop screen.
But either of those solutions is likely to cost way more than just
buying a LCD VGA monitor. I can get you the name of an extremely
compact one if you like. It's about the size of a LCD screen sitting
on a foldup stand. Analog vga input.

I have seen them for sale in the past, but of cause I wasn't looking for
one then )-:

Here are the links.
My friend claimed to have paid $100 for his at a local
discount store. They don't carry them any more.
We compared the display to a laptop. Wasn't quite as crisp as the
laptop display at the same 1024x768 resolution, but not too bad.
Note the relatively small viewing angle numbers.
There's something wonky about the dimensions in their pdf sheet.
They show the package thinner than the bare unit. I don't remember
it being anywhere near 3" thick. 1/2" thick is more like what I
remember. Verify that before you buy one.
