I've got a LP154WP4-TLA1 LCD from an all in one PC that was driven by the motherboard.
Anyways when I added a video card, that disabled the internal display.
I'd like to have the display working so I looked and found several different kits that have everything I need to get the display going with a VGA, HDMI and DVI input. All I need to supply is +12V power which the PC should be able to supply.
Amazon shows two listings, but both are the same board by different Chinese manufacturers.

eBay shows more.
Ali Express shows some kits that have a TV function as well.
Is it a good idea to try one of those kits?
I can still get replacement LCD panels should I ever need to replace it.
Also when the computer is no longer viable (will be when Windows 10 end of support happens), I can gut it, install a 12 volt supply, mount the board to where the connectors stick out of the case or find some sort of extension cable and I'd still have a decent monitor.
I may get the Amazon one unless there's a better kit out there.
I figure since the LCD is mounted to the front of the computer and is doing nothing, I may as well try to use it as a second monitor.
