This can be done, but it's usually not worth it. You'll need a special adapter that will convert a standard display connector (VGA or DVI) into the connection that your laptop's LCD takes from it's motherboard. When I was investigating this for building a projector, I found these connectors to range in the $200-$400 range... too spendy just to get an LCD monitor.
