I have an ancient Acer TravelMate laptop that has just been sitting here for years. Unfortunately its a 15" Screen, but if you feel that you can still find a use for it you are welcome to have it. If you are interested I can send it to you via PostNet.

I had a look at it today and its native resolution is 1024x768. Its far more dated than I thought. I know you said you need laptop screens but could your project work with 15" LCD VGA screens? If it can I may have a screen for you I just need to fetch it and confirm it supports the resolution that you need.
Otherwise sorry I could not help you out.

Why do you need this resolution specifically?

A limitation of the hardware?

Because I already have one. And I made a 3D printable case for them. I want to make my own surround screen type thing...

@Stretch.
Hahahaha! Thanks a lot for the trouble dude! But it's allright!

Drivers for those older models are hard to find... Especially if they have cold cathode tubes in...

If you already have one, then why are you asking for one?

Or do you want two?
