Some at work produced a portable second screen out of his bag last week.  Something I'd not seen before.

I think it may have been this one:  http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/accessories/lenovo-thinkvision-lt1421.aspx  It might be a little more pricey than using an old laptop screen but a lot easier.

Ouch!

That pretty much looks like building your own graphics card adaptor board! I think I'll look at alternative options. The screen is the only bit that usually comes in a clunky, wonky and not-so-cuboid form, and doesn't fit in a backpack (my large ITX PC _just_ fits into a camping rucksack, with a keyboard and mouse).

Perhaps the netbook idea is a winner. I wanted some real-estate, but perhaps I should be looking at better ways of controlling things rather than having lots of GUI.

Greetings off-topic people

Does anyone have any experience of turning a laptop LCD screen into a
normal screen?

As far as i know it is not cheap and easy:
