LCD Panel help

[wysockit]

Hey,
so i had an old HP Pavillion dv6000 sitting around with a fried motherboard and i decided to take it apart and scavenge for parts and i stumbled across the monitor. I took out carefully without damaging it but now i read all this stuff online about how you have to buy controller boards to make it work and what not. Well i'm not a computer wizard. Especially not in hardware but i want to have a nice fun little project which isn't going to kill the bank account for a college student.
My goal is not necessarily to make the LCD Panel work as a external monitor for other computers but pretty much anything up to decorative purposes. I dont want to have a LCD panel just sitting around. Can i do anything to it like for example make it to a Slide-show picture frame or something like that?
and if yes, would be great if anyone can give me some advice and links, etc. ..

thanks,
- Tom

/edit:

Specification of LCD panel: Samsung LTN154X3-L01
I also have the cable connecting from the Panel to the on-board graphic card. (if that helps for something)

I recently took apart my Acer 5100 series laptop because parts alone would sell for more than the laptop would put together. I have searched what you are curious about and have talked to a few technology mentors of mine about it, and it's not really worth it to try using a panel as a monitor. You'd do better selling it.
