I have long thought it would be extremely useful to be able to drive
screens from past-use-by-date laptops at their original resolutions.
And I have frequently seen people explain why it's not viable.

This man and these people didn't listen
Yee Ha!

Drive an old laptop display from an 8-bit AVR microcontroller

Start here maybe:       http://dangerousprototypes.com/?p=3D86688

If you read the finer print - the man has less $ than some for reasons
which he explains.
If this idea is transformational consider giving him a few $s.

If this idea is NOT transformational, please advise me of sites which are
doing the same or better ready.
Really, I'd like to know.

Different displays have different (undocumented) functionality. With the
several I've tested, I've attempted to create a step-by-step procedure to
get a new display going (or find out early-on if it's not possible. So far
I haven't run into one that couldn't be coaxed into working with this
system).
Several of the tested LVDS displays were removed from old 12in G3/G4
iBooks. Two revisions of the same Samsung model, a Chi-Mei, and a Boe-Hydis
have been tested. All are pretty standard laptop TFTs: 1024=D7768,
FPD-Link/LVDS single-channel, DE-Only displays. (The code is written to
work with non DE-Only displays-those that pay attention to the H-sync and
V-sync signals-but this is untested.)
Each display has its quirks and its benefits.
