How can I use iPhone screen hardware as a standard monitor?
I have an old iPhone 4s and I can fully disassemble it. I was searching for a control board to connect the screen and use it as a standard monitor, but I found nothing.
I'm not searching an app or a software to use my phone as a second display, I would rather disconnect the screen from the mother board (which is dead) and use it.
Does anyone know how to connect it to a VGA or HDMI standard input?
The display in the iPhone 4S does not support a standard VGA or HDMI signal as input. This is true both of the iPhone 4S and cell phone displays in general.
Cell phone displays use a very different type of signal - usually MIPI DSI.
Some hobbyist have produced boards that convert HDMI to MIPI DSI which will work with the iPhone 4S screen:

However, this is something I guess you would do for the fun of it or for learning. It doesn't make sense in economic terms compared to buying a used monitor.
