Detach Laptop Screen

This is similar to the the other thread but

I dont want to use the screen on a PC, I just want to have the screen about 2-4 feet away from the laptop.


Problems I see are battery life (not an issue), and possible data loss maybe?


anyway what would it take to basically "extend" the ribbon?

buy a longer one.. that's all I know of unless you can make one somehow.. :/

couldnt you just be very careful and splice in another canabalized ribbon, like some have done with IDE cables?

i would say this is probably the easiest route. I'm not sure what kind of quality degredation you will get and how you could do it non-permanently yet still stable. let us know. take pics.
