It's probably not possible (or at least not economically feasible) as you envision it.
In terms of separating a panel from a laptop for use with that same laptop (but further away from the body), the issue is the cable, and it is very unlikely that you will be able to resolve this issue. The connectors used are very specialized, you can't buy them (at least not in small quantities) and the cables are usually flat "flex" cables that you can't make or mate to the connectors. A very few laptops do use individual wire cables that you could cut and splice to a longer length, but this is very much the exception rather than the rule.
In terms of using the panel with a computer other than the laptop for which it came, this has been covered thousands of times, the signals required by the LCD panel and even it's mechanical interface (connectors and pinouts) are such that it's not economically feasible to use the panel with any other computer (either laptop or desktop). I don't want to give you the impression that it's physically impossible, as it may not be, but the cost will be prohibitive (more than the cost of a brand new desktop LCD monitor) and because of physical issues it will be quite difficult to source what you need, and in many cases it IS impossible. The signals involved are neither conventional analog signals (VGA of any type) NOR are they normal user-interface digital signals (e.g. DFP, P&D or DVI). Rather, they are kind of exotic and custom configurations of LVDS signals.

I want to buy an older laptop on ebay and remove the lcd panel from the computer. My plan is to extend the cables connecting the panel to the computer by a few feet so I can mount the computer and panel permanently in place with the panel separate from the rest of the computer. I know I could gain the same effect by buying a desktop lcd monitor, but my situation needs a small screen. Is this possible? Is there a particular brand or model that is easy to separate?
