Nope. This is not even close to the same as HDMI.
This is internal display connection, you would need a display driver(hardware) to put this plug into. And that hardware has to be for precisely that monitor and blablabla.

 

It IS possible but you would need a lot of info on what screen you have. Like ALL of the info. But you have given none. So goodluck.

What's the name of that input and is there any dongle for him? (preferred it to be HDMI)

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!

You need a driver board to use a laptop screen as a monitor. They are model specific, so you will need the model of the display to find one. They are expensive and the end result is kind of sketchy at best. Better off "recycling" the display and buying a cheap second hand monitor in almost ever scenario.

Yeah sorry.
I wish it was different as well, still have like a stack of notebooks with working screens. (took of other parts tho :) )
Could do so much fun stuff with them, if i could get them to work.

Yeah well at least i could recycle the HDD and the CD drive... Also the fan with the liquid cooling was useful for cooling the raspberry pi...
