Got it. Cost $33.34 Get the number from the back of the screen. Do an eBay search for:
LCD Controller Driver Board Kit for (insert your number)
Here's an example:
NT68676(HDMI+DVI+VGA)LCD Controller Driver Board Kit for LP154WP4-TLA1 1440X900

Doing a 24" iMac
I just ordered a Driver Board for a 2007 24" iMac cost $31.59 for the controller board:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HDMI-DVI-VGA-LCD...
The problem with this one is that i also need a power supply to drive it for $35
5V/12V/24V Universal LCD/LED Power Supply Power Board for LCD TV 24"26"32"
http://www.ebay.com/itm/122481968571
Now I'll have a great looking monitor in an iMac stand. Great novelty item. Total cost $66.59
I may post a guide on it, if there is any interest.
Problem, I can buy a brand new 24" HDMI TV on eBay for $80 but it won't have the class the iMac will. But could I have put the TV in the iMac case?

@lawrenceofara aside from the video what is your plan? You need a controller for the computer or for the panel? what make and model is your panel?

Forgive my ignorance. I have a MacBook Air "Core i5" 1.8 13" (Mid-2012) 1.8 GHz Core i5 (I5-3427U).
The idea is, as in the video, to cut the computer and remove the screen. The computer itself is very unreliable, as it has comprehensive waterdamage, so many parts aren't functioning fully, apart from the screen itself.
So I thought it would make a neat project to turn the screen into an external monitor, either through thunderbolt or HDMI.
I'm unsure as to what the panelnumber is, as I haven't opened the computer yet.
Thank you for the rapid answers.

Okay, got it. You wil need to number right off the panel. The problemn is going to be that Apple panels use a different setup and not every panel can be used for that.
