Stupid idea?

I have a computer with with screen issues and I believe it to be the LCD.
But before I shell out $$$ for a new one, is it possible to connect a random LCD and see if that works or is that a completely horrible idea? I'm not worried about damaging the LCD, only the computer.

cool, thx. I recently got out of tech school and they don't teach you this stuff. they say to wear a anti-static wriststrap when changing an HDD. My boss never does that.
