Picture tubes and LCD's

Me Too!!!! I have been trying to turn up enough info to allow me to adapt color LCD displays from old, dead laptops and notebooks for use as shop computer monitors.

If any video genius has the word, it is certainly going to be appreciated by more than one person!

AS Well: Most of what I know about electrical things stems from Ham radio in the mid-'50s. Along with the new things I newer heard of, there are a couple of things I forgot.

I am now faced with a transformer with inputs for 120, 220, and 480 VAC and outputs for the same voltages. The problem is, it is rated ".250 KVA" How do I get from there to amps@volts in/out?

Thanks,
WDSmith

<snip>Older CNC controls often have those little CRT screens that go bad,
or ghost, or burn in...

How hard would it be to replace on of those CRT's with an LCD and
what would be involved in the conversion?

While I'm here, let me ask the same question but subsitute the LCD
for a computer monitor of recent manufacture.

Thoughts?
