Converting a Full HD Inspiron 9400 laptop LCD to a standalone monitor

Converting a Full HD Inspiron 9400 laptop LCD to a standalone monitor Has anyone tried converting a LCD laptop monitor (17" full HD in this instance) to a stand-alone monitor? Are there any converters that one can buy to send DVI or VGA signals to the plug that is used to connect said LCD to the laptop motherboard?

"Search for VGA to LVDS converters. Then, if you can get one with the correct cable slot, um, connect the panel and the backlight :)
