My laptop broke, so I salvaged the LCD into a new monitor.
Inspiration from the idea comes from GreatScott! and his video doing a similar project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SOXMDb4cjI
If you wanna do a project similar to this, I highly recommend watching his video to aid you in the electronics portion of the project (and while you're at it watch ALL of his videos).
I used the M.NT68676.2 LCD Controller Board for my LCD (be sure to check which one yours uses. I bought mine from e-qstore on ebay and they were very helpful and quick.
I have attached the solidworks files for this print so that you can edit them to fit your specific LCD and controller board.
The enclosure is designed so that you don't need to use glue to attach them together, it should just be a snug fit. Additionally, I will add speakers to this enclosure eventually so that this becomes a portable TV.
Happy Printing!

Notes:
I printed mine with PLA. ABS will work as well, but I would be worried about warping due to the large print size. Still worth a try if anyone wants to let me know how it goes.
For the top piece of the base, I made my own supports that are slightly separated from the actual body, so there shouldn't be any need to print with slicer generated supports.
NOTE The supports didn't quite as well as I hoped, but the only part that looked meh was on the bottom and isn't visible when assembled.
