I used an 17' LCD from an laptop that died a few years ago, you can use almost any LCD used by laptops.

After many ideas i decided to go with Ikea and i bought a Ribba frame 30x40 cm

I used a cardboard to measure the screen size and make some measurements for the best positioning and looking, and marked where the cables will enter under the frame

Positioning the LCD controller board according to the lengths of the cables and cutting the whole to connect the LCD

As next step i measured the white cardboard to be cut according to the needs and to be able to fully use screen

Before putting all together i clean the glass of the frame since it wont be open soon

As a final step, for the cables not to fly around i had used tape for cable management
