I am OK with the LCD screens on my old notebooks (3x Dell Latitude, 1x HP Elitebook). However, only the TN panel type works for me. Btw none of the classical monitors (IPS/TN/VA) worked for me. Conclusion: find a way how to connect notebook panel to my PC/notebook. There is an LCD controller board that can connect your notebook display (after detaching it from the notebook) to your PC as a screen or to your notebook as a second monitor. I tried 2x controllers with 2x LCD panels, but neither of them worked. One of them was receiving a signal but showed no picture, and the other one received no signal at all.
Does anybody have any experience with this LCD controller board? Is it working? If yes, is the quality of picture same as when it was a part of original notebook? Is it worth trying?
