LCD Laptop Screen (adding standard Inputs)

I looked in this forum but nothing really came up. I know it has be done before, but I was wonding if any of you know how to use a laptop screen and add a standard connector (such as, RCA, S-video, or DVI, or DB,) Or do you know where info could be obtained on how to do it? I know there is parts you need like a controler and inverter, but that's all i know, I just think it would be cool to use a laptop screen, since they are realitivly cheap on ebay, and make a nice tv or small monitor. Thanks.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to feed video into a notebook. The only thing i have seen for this would be a PCMCIA tv card.
