iMac 20" 2006 replacement LCD panel

[Morgan Mac]

I received an iMac recently that is in working condition but for a missing LCD screen and front glass panel and bezel. It is a 20" model from 2006.

I have two questions. Firstly, what is the name given for this type of video connector shown here -

Second question: is it possible to use a LCD panel that is not officially made for the iMac in place of the official Apple hardware? Somebody suggested in a video that laptop screens can be used to connect to the iMac, but I have not had that verified.

Seeing as I received it for free, I'm weighing if it's worth it to fix up. Either way, I'd like to use it for a bit, and don't need to pay full price for an Apple LCD screen if I can avoid it. I don't even need the bezel, I can have the screen just out but connected.

The only other option i could tell you is to try some local recyclers. But that mac is 12 years old and i wouldn't spend any money on it.

That's not what I'm asking ET3SW. I'm asking 1. What is the name for the type of video connector pictured above? and 2. Is it possible to use a non-Apple display screen?
