I came across this video of connecting a laptop screen to vga cable and using it as a monitor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0mnvHI8HPw

Im interested in making one of these to go with a small gaming pc for lan stuff. No I dont want a laptop, I have a monitor for home and just want this option for leaving the house and plus it seems like fun to build.

anyways, I've looked into laptop screens and it seems the are all around 60hz with the exception of some alienware laptops at around 120hz. So is the refresh rate of the laptop screen depend on the screen or the system its connected to (in this case a pc).
