Making a Computer Monitor out of an iPad

People want to upgrade their iPhones and iPads when the new versions are released. This happens pretty much every year. Where do the old devices go? Recycled or resold, often. Much recycled e-waste ends up shipped somewhere it's not disposed of properly. So whenever I can make something useful out of something that isn't useful and reduce the burden on e-waste dumps, I jump at the opportunity. So when I saw that I could make a display out of an iPad, I was excited, because I knew that there'd be quite a few of these available in the condition I needed them in.
