Default Old monitor, use idea's

I have an old pc monitor I don't need, they go for nothing on gay bay, so was wondering if I could use it for something else?

Any idea's, must be a use for it, guess wrong voltage for car use, that's where my idea's run out

Yes its a flat screen monitor, but I like the pic.
