off topic: use laptop's screen for desktop PC ?

that end I got rid of my old Nec 17" monster of a monitor recently when I moved because I only used it for a couple of old klunkers that I use occasionally and are now in a closet. Now, I am aware of remote desktop software like VNC, etc. But I was wondering if anyone knows of any kind of gizmo that lets you use a laptop's screen as the monitor for a separate PC? My other option is a cheap older monitor or cheapo LCD. Both of those are acceptable and probably as cheap as any gizmo that might do what I am talking about, but I have yet to find on the net.
