Hello. As the topic. My monitor has fallen today and I don't have any money to buy a new one. However, I have a laptop (asus k50c) and I would like to use it as a second monitor. The question is, can it be done? If so, I would ask for any advice. I would be very grateful as I dreadfully need...

It's not possible. If you look around carefully, you will get a CRT for free, ask around the companies.

Ok For now, I will probably be forced to get the 42 plasma

As mentioned above - it is impossible to do this directly, but you can use some software that allows you to work remotely on a PC - WTS (present in some versions of Windows), VNC or FreeNX. Of course, to configure the server of such a service, you need to borrow a monitor from somewhere ...

Because the laptop screen connects to the graphics card with a completely different connector than the typical monitor connector. Indeed, in this day and age, getting a CRT monitor is not a problem. If you turn well, you can give up some old LCD screens for a four-pack of beer

Thanks for any replies I'm going to come up with something on this topic
