Laptop screens

Has anyone here used a laptop screen in their car....I was thinking of getting a laptop screen and somehow sinking it into the sunroof slider so it can flip down from that. I would have the dvd player show on that screen along with the navi screen (just through a splitter in between).

Forget the install....my main question is has anyone ever connected to one. I'm not 100% sure what the connections look like going into the screen, but i assume its prety straight forward? Anyone?

You guys aren't following.....NO LAPTOP, just the screen

I can get just a laptop screen by itself and will use it as kinda big LCD screen.

I think the biggest problem you will have with the laptop screen is the powering the LCD backlight. You can probably pick up a replacement LCD screen from ebay for about $100 but powering up the background light will require parts from the laptop.
