That looks interesting, but it doesn't work with Linux yet. There does seem to be one that does though, and I like the fact that it's just 13.3 inch: http://fooninja.net/2012/09/01/onlap-portable-screen-for-linux/

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%... 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:
