Is using laptop panels as external screens practical or just

>practical
not really, it is a dick to set up, but once it is set up it shouldn't have any problem running like normal screens, so the problem is do u want the hassle to go through getting the parts and making them work and potentially a fuck up somewhere will make everything not work.

>or just a novelty
yes

Wouldn't call it pure novelty

There is a point with recycling broken laptops like this to save money and on the other side you can do mods like wacom tablet + such a screen for a ghetto cintiq wich would cost otherwise 1000+ bucks.

not very practical as you have to build everything around but if thats no problem and you have them already laying around and willing to spend some money on controller, then its no hassle in my experience

you just have to be careful getting the right controller but the chink seller on ebay are pretty helpful, they will need a serial and pick the right themself

if you want to run all three together maybe try fitting you power source for multiple controller

I have an old touchscreen laptop display that I want to make my own monitor out of just for the heck of it, but would the touchscreen still work or would it just be a display? Would I have to buy a specific control board that would work with touchscreens or?

yes, you would need a special, probably separate touch controller which acts as an input

either there are finished controller available or you could run some software for the touch input on a rpi or arduino
