I am currently working on an amiga laptop, and have adapted an lcd to work on the miggy it can be done and its not that hard! the older lcd have inputs that can be easily connected to a miggy but the new ones take some hacking. lcds are horible for gaming at the moment which is why on my athlon 64 rig I use a viewsonic 22 inch P225FB but for email, web stuff or anything really besides gaming lcds are ok. Problem is with lcds they have a native resolution usually 1024 by 768 and if you go up or down from that it looks bad sometimes REALLY bad. IMHO lcd technology is not that great and will be replaced shortly by organic or organo/electric displays (long story engineer crap) But if you can find an lcd cheap they are great for most things. And yes a 15 inch lcd would be great for almost enything! but gaming so go for it.
