I saw this in another thread the other day, albeit for one of the Toshiba models.

First of all there are no problems with my IBM P70 system, it works like a charm. But I've had a thought for a great while and that is to replace the internal plasma amber screen with a proper vga one. I've tried using an external VGA screen and it works, it's just not as fancy as having it internally.

Why would I want to do it? Because it's one of my favorite machines and it surely deserves such a mod.
Why not? Because the screen is working just fine as it is.

Despite the moral issues, what are the practical ones? Anyone with experience in this matter?
 
I wouldn't. The plasma is unique while LCD is dull.

Yeah, I wouldn't either, that Toshiba where someone did it had a bad Plasma, it should be a crime to hack up an old working computer just for fun. If you want one to try this experiment I could give you a Zeos 386 laptop with a bad LCD, hack to your hearts content, its broken, lol
