Some are dated, some are almost modern (behind the wave,
but in sight...)<br>
I want to re purpose some of them. I have read that you
can interface some Android devices and use them as a
monitor for a Raspberry Pi through the USB port.<br>
I hope to try that in the next couple of days. I also have
been looking at LVDS display interface to HDMI adapter
boards. I bought one on Ebay for $12. <br>
It will take a while to get here in the mail. <br>
The already built displays for the Pi are fairly
reasonable, but the adapter to junk method is still about
half price and I will have the satisfaction of screwing it
up on my own.<br>

With a few hiccups I got RDP on a Samsung Galaxy note II showing
the desktop on a RPi running XRDP. It's pretty cool. In the
Google play store the MS RDP didn't work so I picked the next
one in the search que and it worked. The Phone is using WIFI to
a router and the Pi 2B+ is hard wired with Ethernet. Ha, I just
figured out to use the stylus on the Note II, works better than
my finger, real nice.<br>
