    My 17inch lcd(LP173WF3) has 0.4cm. Normal lcd monitor is usually thicker than that, I guess.

        @Sean Thanks. Did you need an LCD controller board as well?

          @sero Interesting solution. Does it take USB only as an input? Any issues there?

            @mizzoudavis small palm sized board is needed. You can purchase in amazon, ebay or other replacement shop.

              I removed the controller (which has just USB) and replaced it with a controller from eBay that has HDMI, VGA, etc.:

              eBay item 360626141655 :)

                  @Sean Thank you! I wonder if the USB output of the controller board is enough to power the RPi?
